Server upgrade

[rsscott]

We've moved the site across to a new server this lunchtime. As usual in the world of I.T., there are a couple of gremlins (mainly the poll section) which we are trying to resolve.

Thanks for bearing with us!

I'd just composed a long detailed reply to a PM, clicked Send, and the server change started at that instant!

And yes, you've guessed, when the site came back online, my reply was nowhere to be seen.

So my long suffering keyboard has just come in for a duplicate bashing, not to mention my brain wracking to remember what I'd typed this morning.

Having suffered a few similar incidents I always type long posts in notepad or MS Word (saving frequently) and then copy and paste the finished reply.

I sometimes do that as well, but sods law intervened this time!

Sorry about that Flecc, I did have a look on the old server afterwards but I couldn't see the message!

No prob Russ. I was sure it got lost at that instant the way it vanished, perfectly synchronised timing which couldn't be repeated in a million years!
