Firstly extreme apologies for the downtime.

This was caused by the I/O section of the ukvac server to become faulty and effectively made the box unreachable and stuck in a chkdsk scenario, indeed this is still ongoing.... So much so that we have made the difficult decision to lose 24 hrs of posts and revert to a backup rather than wait the additional 1-2 days required to retrieve the last database entries...

We are well aware that some member's uploaded avatars and indeed uploaded images are currently not appearing - again - these will return in due course : bear with us :)

However, we are pleased to report that we are now on a new machine, with far more backup security - I'l leave it to Alpha1 to define excatly what platform we're on.

We've taken the oppotunity for a significant upgrade and facelift at the same time and hope you like the new look!

The upgrade has given us some excellent new features such as:

  • Spam prevention via ingtegration into stopforumspam.com
  • New SSL secuity layer
  • Individual posts can be rated 1-5
  • Answers to a particular tech propblem can me literally marked as answered and will appear immediately below the first postm but also appear later in the thread
  • You can like posts, share etc
  • New chat room which we're currently debating whether replaces the previous shoutbox or not
  • Dozens more improvements here and there!

I hope you enjoy the reboot :)
