** It's Back!! **

After 2 weeks and many hours of messing around, I've finally managed to get the forum working again (big thanks to Dicky over at phpBB for fixing the final posting issue 8) ) For those interested, it was a combination of moving the forum to a new server with newer software, and also trying to upgrade the forum software at the same time. I basically bit off more than I could chew

As far as I can see, the only thing that has been lost is the Star Wars logo from the top of the page. You may have to choose your avatar again, but they're definitely all still on the server. Pease let me know if you notice any other oddities.

Again apologies for the down time, the board is now fully updated and hosted on a new server so it should run faster, and won't need me to tinker with it/break it for the forseeable future! :lol:

Good work mate, glad we are back up and running 8)

Well done mate! Glad to see the site up and runnin' again.

Great work Edd,glad the forum's up & running again!

I thought it was shut down forever...glad to see it back up.

well done Edd, i thought it was gone for good too

Well done bringing it back Edd. I was afraid I'd have to without my urine coloured saber forever. :lol:

Hi Edd, thanks for all that!
You mentioned costs involved running the site, i have to admit thats something that never crossed my mind
Is there a way to make a contribution, say bi annually or the likes?


Thanks

Jason

Thank **** for that
If it is ever a question of money etc Ed! PLEASE let someone know? I am more than willing to contribute some coin and I am sure there are others willing to do the same.
Thanks again, for making the effort to keep SWF going mate.

Thanks for the kind words guys. A lot of forums offer paid accounts with more private message storage, ability to sell etc but I've always wanted to avoid stuff like that, it really doesn't cost that much to host a website over the course of a year, and the time I've just spent fixing it is probably the only time I've touched it for a couple of years!

Luckily this time I managed to salvage all the data, unlike last time (Anybody remember the 2006 crash!? )

The 2006 annihilation you mean!

I don't think we were left with anything, were we?

Well in Edd, good to have the place back, I may only be a lurker, but I've missed lurking all the same
