Martin,

A thought, perhaps this, Doddgy Geezers, account of the meltdown could be put on the welcome page or at least a link to it from the News Box.

Might stop a lot of repetitious questions etc.

Congratulations Martin and others who contributed to getting the Forum back on line.

It's like welcoming home an old friend who'd disappeared  (into the ether) without prior warning. :-))

Glad that the forum is back running, thanks Martin and all those who worked on it! My account was gone and I had to register a new one. I hope you'll be able to resurrect the old one to get the old subscriptions and messages back.

Due to the loss of part of the members list there were lots of "Sales" items with no contact information.
I have removed these.
Please feel free to repost any ads under your new name and if your new name doesn't have the prerequisite number of posts just contact a moderator.

My posts gone astray?
« Reply #231 on: March 30, 2012, 08:58:23 AM »

Hello Martin,
I have now got back onto the site after the glitch - but my posts under my original user name have been assigned to U-33.
This is very odd?
What has happened to me??
I re- registered with different user name thinking that my old details would not be accepted - am I mistaken here?
Regards......

Try re-registering under your old name first - assuming that you want to keep it....

I tried that straightaway - in fact I tried that again this morning but it just says incorrect password (which I know is Correct!)
So I re-registered with new name just to get back onto the site.
Lost all my postings tally......

It would help us if we knew your OLD NAME

If this won't register then the current advice is to put the number 2 next to your old name and register.

That way we can assimilate them and link them together.

In an ideal world, there would be a sticky at the front of the forum, and this sort of advice would be added to it as the recovery progressed. I did try to give you a starter set of words....   {:-{ {:-{
