Trouble at the UKTF

[BigJim]

There is a problem on the UKTF which has rendered the message boards unusuable for the present time. At the moment I'm doing all I can to find out what's wrong and why it's happened. Bear with me and hopefully it'll be working fine again in due course. 🙂

Hope it's nothing that cant be easily fixed Jim - if there's owt I can do to help just holler

 

[red devil]

if you take your shoes and socks of ticklemad i'll make you holler!!!!!

 

[ticklemad]

Thanks for the kind offer Red Devil, but I dont think that would help Jim out much right now. You're welcome to PM or email me though if you want to chat.

 

[P50]

That was a really boaring snipe

 

[chrisheaven]

hope its soon fixed, Jim

 

[BigJim]

I'm fairly confident it WILL be fixed now, although I'm not sure when exactly. It'll be days rather than weeks.🙂

 

[His Divine Shadow]

Definitely days. And, no data should be lost, so it will be right like it was before going poof.

 

[milagros317]

Apparently HDS is the capable volunteer who is fixing it. 😀
Very nice of you, HDS. 😀

 

[His Divine Shadow]

Those Limeys, one minute you're giving them advice and the next BOOM, you are the tech lackey.😀 😛

 

[His Divine Shadow]

All ye denizens of the misty isles, Jim is on the case. Only a matter of days, and the UKTF will be back and even spiffier.😀

 

[BigJim]

I may be on the case, but the incomparable HDS showed me where it was. 😉 Big it up please for the UKTF's resident tech-maestro in ordinary! 😀 (Well, compared to me he is anyway.)

 

[TklDuo-Ann]

Jim.....contact TummyDragon or myself......he thinks he tracked down the problem.....we were just talking aobut it.

Ann

 

[TummyDragon]

Damn you're fast, Ann.. lol

 

[His Divine Shadow]

If you need me to relay something to him, I can. Jim and I will be in communication extensively tomorrow as he goes about securing a new home for the UKTF (The current host is a feckless turd).

 

[BigJim]

Thanks Ann and TD, your efforts are much appreciated. I got TD's PM this morning and replied to it.

 

[BigJim]

Make it a couple of days. Apparently something called "propogating" needs to happen first. lol


Technical, aren't I?

 

[ticklemad]

Propogating? - Aaaaw dont worry Jim explains why you're also called the green guy, you've obviously got green fingers too as it's what you do to seeds by bunging them under glass or in a greenhouse to make them grow😛
Growth of the UKTF sounds to me.😉

 

[His Divine Shadow]

It may be sooner than you think.😉

 

[chrisheaven]

I'm confused!😕

 

[His Divine Shadow]

What ever about, Chris?

 

[BigJim]

Just to let you folks know, we are back on our new server (as it appears is the TMF!😀) and are running again. Many thanks to HDS for all the advice and putting up with my hissy fits when something happened that I didn't understand - which was almost everything. Thanks also to Ven for agreeing to be the third string to my teccie bow.

Just a couple of quick updates Jim:

1) Back up the UKTF might be but the URL seems to have changed from http://www.tickle-brits.com/forum/ to http://www.tickle-brits.co.uk/forum/

2) Jim, the link in your sig goes to http://www.tickle-brits.co.uk and just shows the contents of the directory as there's no default page. If you want a redirect page to dump people over to the forum directly if they go to http://www.tickle-brits.co.uk instead of http://www.tickle-brits.co.uk/forum/ let me know.

The URL has indeed changed. We changed servers and getting control of the old domain was too much of a pain in the arse, so we just changed to a new one. The directory index will be replaced by a half-decent Home Page in the next few days with any luck. The wonderful Venraya is fiddling and faddling with various thingies on our behalf.


*EDIT* Boffer mate, can you clear some PM space? 🙂

Oooooo Matron 😀
That's a lie Jim he hasn't fiddled with my thingies at all
