Just so you all know, the prblem with the Forum yesterday was caused by Ionos (who host it) doing a systems upgrade which clashed with the software that runs our forum. There was no forewarning of them doing this work, which I thought was pretty unprofessional, and it meant our Webmaster, Ste (see above) being on the phone for hours till gone midnight. It also meant a restore of the forum database had to be performed from a slightly older backup, and that's why any posts over the last couple of days have disappeared.
So, a disappointing effort from Ionos, and a massive Thanks to Ste for his work in resolving the cock-up. He says he'll look at the possibility of using a different platform going forward, but we could lose some functionality...watch this space.
Once again, Big Ta to Ste, which I'm sure you'll all echo.
- Chairman Norm
