After completely out-growing our old shared server we've now moved to a shiny new turbo powered server with tassles and ribbons and everything! This was a much needed move that now enables us to be viewed by the thousands across the globe without running out of bandwidth, and also to improve and increase the features available to all, some of which will be coming along this month! In the meantime, I've had reports of some people having problems either logging into the forum (it may say we've moved and gives you an address to forward to), and others aren't getting validation emails. Some of these problems may have been traced to issues with Tiscali/Pipex servers which seem to be slow on picking up our new server's address. Unfortunately there isn't much we can do about this other than wait, but if its not been resolved soon I'll be sending the boys around to see The Hoff! We've been looking into this further, and its definitely just a problem with Tiscali/Pipex users. If you are one of the affected users, and you get the 'Board offline' message when you try to view the forums, please follow these following steps, kindly provided by TMF member 'Mort': First make sure it's not your own DNS cache.
