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 that this also affected the databases the sites rely on...

The move

Post by Thomas »

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) annoyance disappear.

You're a star of the highest order, Thomas. Thank you for all your efforts. I've been feeling starved of Pothos for the last few days ... :cry:

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...
