I didn’t get a chance to comment in the ‘bugs report’ topic before it got locked after 6 pages, due to having trouble with re-registering, so just wanted to say it’s good to be back, before this thread is locked down too.

Sad story time - I knew this server migration was imminent, as it had long been flagged up by Jay…but I kept having one family drama, work crisis, etc. getting in the way of me finding some time to try and capture all my hundreds(!) of various saved ‘bookmarks’ which I’d stored for various reasons to refer back to. And also my many saved ‘drafts’ that I was still currently finalising for various topics.

So anyway…I finally got a chance to sit down to spend a while doing this…when the site suddenly went ‘offline’ at that particular moment!!.. I’m gutted. Aaargh!

So I’ve lost the lot, and can just console myself that at least my PMs are still viewable after the migration.

Then on top of this, I didn’t realise that the reason that I wasn’t getting sent a ‘reset password’ e-mail…was because it kept getting sent to my hotmail ‘Junk Email’ folder instead of my ‘Inbox’ folder. And until doubleofive/Jay let me know that was the likely case, I couldn’t log on…as I never check that particular folder! D’oh.

I rarely check in using a mobile, so the current layout is taking a little getting used to on my laptop. But at the end of the day, I appreciate that the previous server problems were getting out of hand, and things should stabalise for us now. l also appreciate that all of Jay’s efforts are done out of his own pocket, so many thanks are in order for this resource.

Happy Halloween to all.
