Advance Notice
In order to try and overcome the problems that occurred whilst I was on holiday recently I will shortly be moving the site to a new hosting company. I am not sure when but I will update this topic when I know.
There is no action to take on your part - your shortcut/login will remain unchanged.
What you will notice is that the site will be unavailable for a period of time - this can be anything from an hour to (in worst case scenario) 72 hours - although it is normally about four hours, so if you cannot gain access just keep trying - it will come back eventually.
I will, in all probability, do this change overnight (but not sure yet which night).
UPDATE
This will be happening tonight (Wednesday 1st May)

Re: Advance Notice
I do so agree. You are amazing David
I wasn't sure how I was going to cope without the forum.
BTW OBF how do you do that, quoting someone else's post. Do you go to their post and press the quote button ? then what
I just love these smilies

Re: Advance Notice
If ever you want to try anything out there is also a Test section for you to have a little practice on. As qbman says there are loads of other things you can do as well. You'll soon get into the swing of things and if not, just ask.

Re: Advance Notice
Hi Jennie
Sorry for my delayed reply but it’s taken me a little time to get over the rebuff that I received from David this morning...I’ve also been searching high and low for some keefy chocolates in the hope that I could change his mind. Guess what? I’ve found the last remaining (in date) box of chocolates and after two milliseconds consideration I’ve decided to send them to you instead...
Enjoy!!
Regards
Keith
