Well, we are back. The hosts got hacked and changed all the passwords and I was too dim to realise that this killed the forum.

I have been looking in to moving servers sooner than planned and will report back here.

Nice to see you exist Thomas. I was beginning to wonder if you were't a recursive grammar algorithm for generating textual content....or not as the case may be.

We shall see eh?

OK, there are 80 articlesthat have not been transferred to the new site.

Each one takes about 5-10 minutes to manually copy over and there is no shortcut. This makes around 10 hours of work!

I prefer to do this myself since it is a little fiddly, but if any of the moderators/regular posters are feeling technical I may be open to offers of help ;). PM me. Once the articles are moved we can change everything over - which will take about half a day (the database here is now >40MB and needs to be moved around and things set up).

Track the progress of the move....

(If you feel there is not much progress just PM me and it will get me going again I guess. 3 down, 77 to go!)

Thomas & Marcus
