Post-upgrade 'running in' process
Perry de Havilland (London)  Administrative

As our regular readers will have noticed, we have been 'off the air' whilst we under went a major site upgrade under the hood. There still may be a few bugs to stamp on but things will soon return to normal.

Comments

Missed you all!

Nice to have it back. Email link to people's names isn't working as of this comment, but at least the basics are there!

If it was just an upgrade, why no warning to your loyal followers? You crashed, didn't you?

DOS attack, methinks.

Cool! Adjustable font size. Was that there before?

Yes, the site crapped out, to use the technical term, hence the lack of warning... I did report 'trouble' but it then got a great deal worse and we had to call in the cavalry to do an 'emergency upgrade' as we were running a fairly old version of MT.

Still a few adjustments needed but we are at least up and running again.
