Andy Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Dear members. Many apologies for the recent forum downtime. It was always going to happen while I was many miles away from FTF HQ though I guess! Anyhow, the problem was down to our hosting company and a major server fault while they were conducting maintainence. A few key FTF files that make the system tick were removed, so we have been trying to restore it all as quickly as possible from backups! Not easy when your 4000 miles away in a country that has poor internet service! I think we are back running now though so fingers crossed thats the last of the problems! Keep an eye out though and report anything strange in this post! I will be doing a complete once over on Tuesday. Many thanks for your patience and I trust the experience was not too stressful for you all! Kind regards Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted May 7, 2008 Author Share Posted May 7, 2008 The recent problem with FTF was down to our "old" service provider updating their software packages and having issues with this operation. The problem was not related to our pending server move. I apologise for this recent problem, something I hope to avoid on the new server! Many thanks Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
