Recent down time

Post by Hughie »

Our forum was down for just around eighteen hours due to a technical problem, sorry about that. Last time we had any real down time was well over ten years ago. It's nice to be back. :)

Looks like we are able to add to topics but not start new ones or PM other members - I'll keep working on it.

Yabadabadoo!

Last weekend I stumbled onto the phpbb support forum you post in Hughie and although it's something I know absolutely nothing about, it was obvious going by the number of posts on these issues that problems arising from upgrades or changing hosts can often be quite complex.

Good to see things are getting back to normal now on the site and I think folk like yourself deserve a lot of personal credit there.

We're getting there, Michael. Knowing where to seek advice when things go wrong is important, whether it's on the internet or in real life.
