Forum Downtime

<p>Many members would have noticed the forums have been down for a considerable amount of time. This was due to major technical fault with the server. The technicians worked hard to get the server back up and running as quickly as possible.</p>

<p>However, we are not out of hot water yet. We have found another problem with the servers operating system that was related to the first issue.</p>

<p>We are able to use the server for the moment but it will require a new reload of the operating system. So we are going to plan to do this at the weekend and expect a good 3-4 hours downtime while we reload all the data back on to the server and re-configure.</p>

<p>We hope this will solve all the issues which have been bugging us for a number of weeks.</p>

<p>Our future plans are to move to a much more robust infrastructure which should illuminate any future failures.</p>

<p>We apologize for the inconvenience this may have caused.</p>
