Hi guys

Just as an introduction. I work for Key, but not full time on the forums. I’m a Webmaster, but not THE Webmaster here – that’s reserved for somebody much greater than I.

Thought I would just chip in on this. We have been having a couple of database problems recently with the forum. Partly because the forum is huge, and partly because the server it lives on is coming to the end of its life. Sorry about that.

We are currently setting up a new server to move the forum to that should make it much more stable. In doing so we are looking to upgrade the forum software to the latest version. The upgrade will inevitably mean there will be some cosmetic changes, but in doing so, we’ll be back to the most streamlined version.

I’ll post more nearer the event, as we’re still a way away from moving over. Suffice to say, we will try and make it as painless as possible.

Cheers, Simon

Two days running now, no new posts to view which is patently incorrect, just another little glitch. Great Forum! 🙂

Had the same thing several times recently so I assumed the site was down for maintenance.

Had same thing as well. BUT on one occasion I got a page (I’m on AOL) that said words to the effect that the Key site had been informed. From that I assumed it was the Key site transmitter that had gone Tango Uniform, and not my receiver ditto!
