Website update

[Eddy Matthews]

Hi all,

Starting on the afternoon of Sunday 19th June (UK time), we will be doing a major upgrade to the website software. This will probably take a few days to complete, and during that time, the forum will be offline at times. Some things may look a little strange for a while as we work through the various bits of software that need updating, and some parts of the website may throw up unexpected errors.

This is one of the largest updates we've ever had, so it will take some time! We hope you'll bear with us during the changeover. Once completed, there will be very few things that look any different to how they do now, but the updates will fix many security vulnerabilities as well as minor odds and ends that haven't worked as they should for some time.

We will attempt to keep the time that the forum is offline to a minimum, but as there are 7 different pieces of software to deal with (which are all linked together), there will be times when one part of the website works fine, whilst other parts will thow up errors or fail to work at all..... Just bear in mind that I will be beavering away in the background to get it all fixed as quickly as I can!

Regards
The Admin Team

The main website software has now been upgraded, but there are numerous things which still need to be sorted to get everything as it was before. Bear with me, I'm slowly working my way through them all!

If some parts of the forum don't display correctly - Such as HUGE boxes when attempting to "Reply" to a message, please clear your browsers cache, and that should fix it.

Looking good Eddy, a fantastic job as always

I think everything is now working as it should be, but if anyone notices anything strange or something that doesn't work, please let us know!

Don't forget to clear your browsers cache FIRST to see if that clears any errors, otherwise you may be trying to use old files that are stored in the cache!

Regards
Eddy
