Hello everyone. I am still alive. :D My family, job and re-discovery of indoor rowing keep me away from pothos. Also being back in Science teaching means I generally am reading and researching Science stuff...And remember, I know little but the techy stuff. But I still care! Thoughts: I can create (...

Nearly all the articles are transferred thanks to Vergina Sun's efforts (and her shaming me in to a small amount of action!).

Taking this article off sticky...

Yes, the forum and site editing have different passwords. Something we'll have to live with for now, possibly for ever!!

As for Vista, I am at a loss. I have never even seen Vista, nor am I likely too for a while.

I'll email you about access...

I got 12. Which shows why I long ago stopped creating original content for the site!

some of the most ridiculous and unworkable time-tabling in the history of time-tabling, and I've been lumbered with more teaching groups than I was supposed to have been lumbered with ... and there are too many shared classes ... and ... and ... :lol: I have a pretty good balance this time and for ...

I am out all day today, but if you send me a private message (PM button) with a username you'd like I can get you set up as an editor.

Moving all the topics over is a reasonably big job. I am obviously not as focussed on it as I should be :oops: If you wanted to help I would be happy to train you up. It involves: 1) Being a perfectionist; 2) Being methodical; 3) Avoiding mistakes; 4) The ability to use a word-processor-type applica...

Thanks

Yes, the new server is new software too (off the shelf rather than my own code).

I need to get all the articles over though

Then I will update the forum look and feel to match the main site.

Thanks.

Now I need to get my head down and transfer all the rest of the articles!

The move is complete. Do you see a difference? The topics are recovered. Are they all there? Please post comments below... N.B. You'll find that the URL looks a little strange (www.william-powlett.net) for a couple of days. Once the internet catches up with the change I will make that (slight) annoy...

OK, there are 80 articles that 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 fee...

I am just so embarrassed...

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.

The move over to the new site is taking a lot longer than I expected due to family commitments. But the recent down time is a good indicator of why we need to move! Apparently our hosts were hacked at the end of May and lost lots of passwords. They reset the passwords without clearly telling people ...

jasonxx I am getting lots of bounced "notifications" of private messages. Please could you update your email address using the profile link. For now, I have disabled private message notification for your ID. Please post here when you are done/if you have any questions and I will delete thi...
