  • HI folks the server that hosts the site completely died including the Hdd's and backups.
    Luckily i create an offsite backup once a week! this has now been restored so we have lost a few days posts.
    im still fixing things at the moment so bear with me and im still working on all images 90% are fine the others im working on now
    we are now using a backup solution

New forum version

Let me purge the site cache but beyond that there is nothing I can do all appears fine on this end and the sever is at 7% usage
 
Warren, the new Forum seem to working fine for me, I'm still using Vista!! I like my avatar too.
Thank you for your hard work, and your time.

we broke the internet yesterday...sort off.

we reached over our hard set limit of 150 active users at any time, I have now increased this. It's happened twice now this month
 
If I understand this Warren I guess that’s probably good news ? I like the notion of more active users - very much ! Viv.
 
Viv,

Yes, I've noticed quite a few new members over the last week or so and that can only be good news.

Maurice :)
 
I think the new set up sent out alerts to many Members, some who may have forgotten the place. ;) Noticeable are the threads that have been re-activated after being dormant for some years - think I spotted one over ten years asleep! :D
 
Think the new design is very smart, only one small problem, loading alerts, an awful lot of clicking on the item is required. The other thing (so that is two small problems) is that Google were loading adverts on underneath the welcome banner and blocking the alert,, I seem to have stopped this temporarily , but there is now a great gap between the welcome banner and the theme. How can I cure this?

Don’t know if it’s my imagination (or wishful thinking) but are we getting quite a few new members too . Viv.
 
I like the new forum version except for the Back To Top button. It is a bit too close to that little orange RSS link, some times it is not there unless I scroll up and down once or twice. I am using Windows 10 and MS Edge.
 
The 'back to top button' is well clear of anything when I run Edge as a screenshot below shows.

If I set the Edge zoom to 125% or 150% I can get the go-to-top button over the RSS on the bottom black border but I use a wireless mouse with my laptop and a slight upward flick on the scroll wheel moves the border down and I can safely hit the back-to-top button. I suppose it might be more awkward if the track pad is being used. I only ever scroll with the mouse wheel.
 
Go-to-top button covers or too close to RSS icon if I use my laptop or ipad. It gets a bit annoying when I click on RSS by mistake.
