Our service provider had a wheel off from around 2 am until just now which meant you might have experienced an error message from the forum servers.

Apologies for this and hopefully all is now well.

Refunds to subscriptions will be based on how much membership fees you have paid :lol: :lol:

Cheers

Thanks Bob

Yes, host threw a toy out of the pram for a while!

I am accelerating the migration to the new server so will update on that later when I know the potential downtime involved.

Thanks for your patience and apologies again for the outage. As Bob says, compensation will be based on a sliding scale commensurate with your initial financial investment... ;)

Cheers

The fault would have meant that you would not have been able to access the forum at all?

The last post I can find for you is
26 Jan 2015, 21:49

Have you lost some since then? The favourite trick to lose posts is to either hit preview instead of post or to hit send and ignore the " someone has replied already" message. On my laptop, this is virtually out of view and I've fallen foul of this before.

Mark- the head honcho admin is at work now but if you have had a loss of post other than the above, ping him a PM and he might be able to see something form a back up??

As you say Bob, the forum was completely unavailable so I can't see how anything could be lost...

Here you go chaps, the official line from the hosting company. Not ideal that one of their upgrades caused it, but I'm always happy when they can identify an RFO as it gives me confidence that it's not a fundamental issue that will re-occur...

Thank you for contacting us.

This email update is inline with our conversation earlier. Our administrators were able to resolve the issue and your website is working again. Last night during an ordinary PHP software update came to an error which at some of our Customers led to problems within the internal PHP memory. Our technicians rolled out a global solution. Most of the webpages should be back up now. We will continue to monitor for further impact. We understand the critical nature of these systems to our clients and we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.


Thanks
Mark

Just got back from t'pub where I overheard that there was some sort of explosion associated with the tremor.

Any truth in that Rod?

I was disappointed to find Hursley still here this morning.

Had hoped I'd be able to go back home.

No explosion - but most folks thought it was one.
Only lasted a few seconds felt and sounded like a heavy lorry hitting the house but from all directions.
People as far away as Petersfield and Bournemouth felt it. The epicentre was at Winnal. Because it was relatively shallow at 3km the 2.9 had more impact.
Britain suffers 200 earthquakes a year with 10 of this magnitude.

I was in a hotel in Greece when they had an earthquake and it felt as if a lorry had actually hit the hotel. Another time the bed was shaking which was interesting to say the least. Put a whole new spin on the phrase 'Did the Earth move for you'.

The flogging tree beckons. I suggest that this one was Mark's fault. Away with him to the flogging tree, and unleash the cat o' nine tails. That'll learn him. ;) :lol:

You could be right Mike, I reckon he paid 1&1 to put out a message saying it was their problem.
