I didn't know anything happened 'cos I had gone off building to have time with the family during my birthday. Got treated to a sushi lunch, spent more time with kitty litter and the new rescued puppy, just checked in today. What's this about talking to wives...we're into morse code now.

Cheers,

Thank the Gods! I was beginning to suffer from withdrawal symptoms!

Please don't break the forum ever again...

for some unknown reason I've apparently agreed to get the decking in the back garden ripped up and replaced with some rather posh slabs.... (there goes all my spare cash for a while),

And I started building an Academy M1A2 Abrams TUSK...

We that was a bit of a worry, I was updating the database on the server from v5 to v10, everything I read said it was pretty straight forward and things rarely go wrong, all I can say is I'm glad I took a database backup before playing, I did think I had lost everything even the files as I couldn't access the server, but I managed to get it and rescue them, everything should be working again, but as I had to format the server and reinstall everything there might be some things missing, any issues let me know and I will look in to it.

On a similar note, the reason why I had to update the database is because in about 8-12 weeks I will be changing the forum software to vbulletin, I'm just waiting for them to create an import file, once they have done it and we have manage to migrate the threads, posts etc the forum will need to be moved to their cloud based hosting, that will only be for about a week while we make sure there are no problems, then I will move it back to the server, so there will be a little bit of downtime.

Good luck with vbelletin , been a while since I used it @ www.dvdoctor.net ( now only an archive ) and it was a royal pain to admin.

Have to say John despite the forum being down for a while, your message made it worth it!!

[stillp]

The maximum size of photo files seems to be smaller - the forum used to resize them but doesn't any more. Is this temporary John ?
