    Default DON'T FREAK OUT - It's alright

    Attachments, graphics, etc etc are currently being transfered to the new server so there may be a fewodd things happen from time to time during the next few hours.

    IT'S ALRIGHT It will, or at least should be back to normal some time this evening.

    Cheers - Neil

    Right now it's looking like the transfer could continue till 9pm or later. So more of the same for a while yet.

    Doh!

    PS Looks like the smilies work if you know the code.

    The shift is slowly coming to an end but some of the problems may persist for a while yet.

    Sometime after 9:30 the forum will be shut down for around 5 minutes to finish off some background stuff then it should be business as usual. If you are having problems with attachments, etc please wait till tomorrow before letting fly with a flood of emails and pm's as most problems will have been fully resolved by then.

    Cheers - Neil

    Please note, if you have typed a huge message and submit it, only to be shown the 'forum is down for a minute message'. Simply click the back button in your browser and resubmit the message a few minutes later when the site is back up (or copy it to notepad).

    I have less than 1GB of files to transfer, after that I'll do the final sync of the database and attachments, which should be the only (short) downtime you guys notice.

    Seems to have all the bits and bobs visible Steve (except I just noticed the "Submit Reply" button in the editor is missing its face, plus a couple of others )
