I plan to take the forum off-line at 2100 GMT for around an hour. Please don't make any forum postings close to this time.

Note change of time.

Some server side changes are taking longer than expected so the down-time is delayed. I'm still hoping to do it tonight. Watch this space.

The old address will now forward to this.

If you find any dead images or links, please let us know so we can fix them.

Hej,
The forward does not work yet, but displays the link and stops.
Please use the new forum webpage - http://forum.bcss.org.uk
Also the link on the main cactus-mall page needs to be updated.
Regards,
Torbjorn

Tapatalk is not working

Probably due to the forwarding not working yet.

But I think the best thing to do is update the registration with the new address anyway.

Keep up the good work

I have had a problem with joining the website, I have to Log on each time, even though I have said for it to keep me logged on. Also, each page takes a very long to load, as does the website in the first place and uploading pictures can get very difficult. It gets very frustrating trying to check out the new messages.

Hi,
I'm with Liz too. Will not leave me logged in. Takes ages to reload. Fed up.

Keeps me logged in okay from session to session.

But the Forum appears to be loading from the Server incredibly slowly for me just now.
Is this a Forum or Server issue, Pete, Bill and Tony M.?
