Spider Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 We have updated the software here to future proof the site for newer server requirements. Sorry for the downtime however it was immediately necessary without prior notice, otherwise an announcement would of been shown for a few days. You'll find things almost just as they were, we decided to remove the redundant 'articles' system as no one ever used it. The topics are best placed if needed with a new area for guides and tutorials. Note that there are still some small adjustments to make over the following week however the site is ready to be opened again. Of course if you should spot anything amiss please either post here into this topic or message me or jetsetdanny. Thank you. jetsetdanny and SymbolShift 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crem Posted March 12 Report Share Posted March 12 Maybe we should have some side channel to contact for the case something happens with the website? I was curious what's going on, and searching for posts in facebook/twitter/etc didn't reveal anything. Spider 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was suggested to change the temporary message however at that stage it was only a day away from being done. I did consider posting in the JSW Facebook group but was not sure if an "external site" would be treated kindly, perhaps I was overthinking. I knew the host was likely to drop legacy php support however (again other reasons) I was not aware exactly when this was to be, as you know they usually give a few weeks notice of "we're dropping xyz at the end next month" , it is quite possible I missed this notice however. I did toy with the idea of adding a temporary forum (as was done once before) but by the time I'd done that I could of done this. However on a positive note, we are now future proofed for quite a considerable time and if it should happen again ( ! ) something suitable will be posted and linked to. jetsetdanny 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetsetdanny Posted March 14 Report Share Posted March 14 A big THANKS and hats off to Andy (Spider) for fixing the site! He did it all by himself, both providing the upgraded software and performing the update. It feels good to be back. Thanks again, Andy! 👍 🙏 👏 🍾 IRF, Richard Hallas, Spider and 1 other 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
