Welcome Back to the ukVac !!!

[Arch]

Great to have the site back! Good job, everyone!

 

[Blinky]

Yes, definitely glad it's back - I hadn't realised how much I enjoyed reading all the posts and chat.

Big thanks to everyone who made this happen, I'm sure you all have busy lives anyway.

I'm finding I keep getting logged out every few days, where before I could stay logged in forever.
Can this be fixed? Is there an adjustment I can make?

I'm not getting this. I stay logged in. Have you got any settings in your browser to clear cookies after a certain number of days?

According to my account settings, I last logged in at 8:05PM on March 8th.
Just over two weeks now...

I do find mine logs out a lot on mobile but if I press the log in link, it just logs in without challenging me for details.

Ahhh, if you squint you can see me in that picture sans glasses, and with very slightly more hair.... True about all the uk cabs you actually saw in this country in arcades of the day being nearly gone and replaced with all these crazy American cabs Still, I reckon nearly everyone has seen, owned or played a Rav import at some point now, whether they realise or not. Anyhow, whilst I'm getting used to this format let's see if I can include a little bit of pictorial history from the place of legend that lives now only in my dreams....





Whilst I'm getting misty eyed about this I trawled through some paperwork and found a few novelty items that may/may not be recorded elsewhere....

What can one say about UKVAC? How about 'never game over'?

Rav and co, thanks for the time and resources you have put into this forum over the years.

Hmm, I'm not sure now, I'd have to get a time machine and go back to uni to find out. I know they were hooked up to a unix based sun mainframe that was quite slow and creaky and that the devices were labelled 'kgb' and 'cia' which somebody obviously thought was very witty.
