    I was checking several times a day to see if the site was up and running, mildly obsessive I know but I like the forum and the people I've gotten to know :)

    So how have you all coped being away for a few days?

    I set my site monitoring software to tell me when the misspelled holding message "... but it culd be sooner ..." was no longer showing. I suppose that is MORE sad than the people who just checked the site periodically!!

    This is a mild sort of man flu..head fills like its in a vice. Things are fuzzy and wont work correctly and I,m totally knackered.
    This is going to take about 2 weeks of TLC to get better.
    Dont think I can push it any more than that......
    :wink::wink: know what I mean:wink::wink:

    I feel like that all the time and just get on with life:ywn:.

    My hubby has just recently got over man flu and a bad cold so I looked after him like us women do and now he is back to work and fighting fit so to speak,though having said that one of his workmates is full of a cold and has insisted on joining my hubby and the others in working all weekend instead of staying at home and getting over it.Mr K and his mates have got a bet going that this chap will have all of next week off after the overtime work so he can get himself well again and then I bet Mr K will catch the cold off of him :skp:

    I'm back, but I didn't get notified of the forum's return. I was checking up until 2 days ago, several times a day....

    "I was checking up until 2 days ago, several times a day....

    "

    You are not alone, apparently ... if that's any consolation??

    I have read that the-powers-that-be are working on a Restore from the old site to reinstate post counts etc.

    Trying to reach the domain name, alone, was showing a GatorHost advertising message for several days. Now there is a rather lackluster redirect message instead - not sure why they haven't either reinstate the "home" page, or put up a suitable landing page, but quite probably something is in-the-works.

    Yep, I got the same Gatorhost message and eventually I gave up and decided to wait on an email. It was only this evening that I decided to check again and got the redirect page.

    I've replied to the FAQ thread too BTW :)
