Firstly can I please apologies to all members for the loss of service.
Unfortunately these machines do not always work properly and it took many hours of tweaking and playing to get things back online.
Had we been able to gain access to the member database we would have been able to drop a mailshot to all members with updates but unfortunately the whole site was inaccessible to us...
That aside finally it was achieved...if by a back door method!
Can I personally thank the admin team and all the mods for their assistance in quelling the fears of members who contacted them. They have been, as always, a huge assistance and an inspiration. Human nature can be so fickle but a crisis brings everyone together. THANKYOU!
Again, my sincerest apologies and happy holidays!
Van
