    Apologies for the forum downtime

    As you may have noticed, we've been pretty much offline the last few days .

    Behind the scenes we've swapped to a newer, faster server and things should now be working as they should be. If you are reading this message then you are connected to the new server (the old one should now be un-available at this time anyway).

    John - You haven't put the redirect back in for the old active.asp

    I know it's a throwback to the old forums but it's kind of nostalgic don't you think?

    I'm just working on that side of things .

    We've switched hosts from Windows 2008 to CentOS (a version of Linux) as a Linux based system is better suited to the forum software. The problem is Windows specific code (like the re-directs) does not work in Linux, so I'm having to translate them all over.

    That's what was happening for us too - quite often it would time out and all I'd get is a blank page. The new server should be more than able to cope with things, so we should be fine going forward from here.

    I thought it was me as well Sandra. We are in our villa in Spain at the moment and I was blaming it on the slow internet connection we have here!

    It's good to see everything back up and running again.
