    Forum and website downtime

    Just as a heads-up, we'll soon be changing servers and moving over to vBulletin with thanks to a company called Enigma (specifically one person helping us out with it - John). There will be some website and forum downtime in the next week or two. We'll keep you all appraised via this thread of any possible downtime we have planned for.

    It's not all perfect yet, and got rid of most of the spammers (they got in before I had a chance to reinstate the anti-spam controls).

    Apologies for the spam!
    I'm working with Max to get the niggles out - but it's gone pretty well so far.

    We will get there!

    Hi Alex, yeah it's on the list. You're not the first to ask about this.
    We'll sort it out ASAP, but there's a few other things that have to be sorted first such as email and registration problems...

    Is it just me or has it gone quiet here?

    I had trouble figuring out how to reset my password (the shame) to allow me access and if you have the old forum URL saved as a bookmark it won't get you here. Maybe these factors are contributing?

    Hi all, I have had a problem with my desktop not showing current pages on the forum and not letting me log in, it also showed me logged in all the time. I was using Internet Explorer 8. I had Firefox on the pc so I tried that and it worked OK. My laptop works with both Explorer and Firefox. This morning I checked all the settings on my laptop Internet Explorer and the desktop and found a crucial change. In Explorer look in Tools, Internet Options and under Browsing History check Settings. My desktop was set to never check for new pages, I have set it to Automatically check and now the pc works fine.
    Hope this may be of use to other members.
    Denis
