Damn and blast! PLEASE READ!!
« on: January 25, 2009, 05:56:19 PM »
Hi All,

Unfortunately one of the major pieces of software Paddleducks uses to run the website is being abandoned by it's developers - Don't you just love it when that happens! :(

So we will have to replace quite a large amount of software with a new setup - Some bits will transfer easily, this includes the message forum, but others won't!

The changeover will start tomorrow (monday 25th January), and during this period, you may find strange errors or even find the site unusable for a time - I'll do my best to keep these problems to a minimum, but it's not going to be a simple task and some parts of the site may take days or perhaps even weeks to sort. So bear with us, we will get everything working again, but there are only so many hours in a day - We ask for your patience and understanding during this time.

Regards
Eddy
