hi,

just wanted to shout out my relief of seeing this place back online.

I was fearing that another great site that really makes a difference got shut down for what ever reason such as legal battles or insufficient funds.

im so glad that the website is back online and running. the new design looks great to.

It was just a dodgy US server - a simple PHP fix crashed the entire server and PHP wouldn't restart. Because it was taking so long to fix I figured it would be quicker and easier to simply move the site to a new server, which I knew would be more reliable and have better hosting support.

How,s the download site coming on Brian?

I still cant get access even after clearing cache. Only way in is by reading latest posts but keep having to log in on each entry.

Hi Trafpol

Im using AOL - everything was fine until the last weeks switch - the only thread I cant access is the cable tv one every other one is fine.

Trafpol · 25-06-07, 09:47 AM

Works fine in IE !

Hmm...I'm wondering if it's something to do with AOL's DNS cache settings? Would be a little worrying if that's the case - but glad you're getting the issue resolved now.

As for the downloads section - it's been getting populated the past few days - I'll ask Lincsat if it's ready for public viewing yet.
