    As you can see, we are still on the same forum software :( .

    Long story short, the whole forum has been downloaded and converted to the other software and on uploading, 'CRASHED' at the end.

    We are now looking into other ways of doing the migrate, which will involve more downtime, please bear with us.

    Many apologies for any inconvenience caused.

    I think we all guessed it was not going smoothly Nathan. What a shame they couldn't fix it. Still we'll all have to be patient.

    Nathan I can well imagine your frustration when everything crashed and after all the time you put into it too..I dare bet there were a few rude words spoken! :eek:

    Anyway I for one are happy that things are back to normal (at least for the time being) and wish you well next time to try to grade-up..... fingers crossed things will go far more smoothly for you next time.

    A BIG thank you comes from me to you and all the mods for doing a great good just keeping this forum going.....You're the BEST! [​IMG] Hel.xxx.
