Title: Forum Downtime
Post by Lectrician on Dec 15^th, 2008, 5:36pm

Sorry for the inconvenience of the Forum being down!

We suffered a couple of corrupt files on the server which caused some major issues.

I took the opertunity to update the software to the latest version, which means some of our original functionality is missing until I re-attach those modifications.

We did also suffer some issues while converting the forum to the new style, and with over 35,000 files to play with it was a long drawn out process getting everything back as it should be.

The forum should be running fine now, just missing a few of our modifications which will appear over time.

Thanks for your patience.

Lec.

Indeed - I am looking to create a new logo, or getting someone to do one for us!

Spell Checker is good to have!

The template styles can be changed as you wish.

Don't need an online spelling checker - Apple Safari has one built-in ;)

Mind those that sue God awful MS Windoze products will need one ;D

As far as logos and the rest of the piccys Lec they could do with a revamp. Maybe a competition of ideas would help ... and NO we don't want ones advertising some 'training college' in the middle of nowhere north of Watford :P

I have viewed this forum for the fist time on my works PC, and have noticed (as this is a wide screen) that the drop down boxes for the special charactors on the post page are not underneath the font formatting buttons where they are meant to be, and this has pushed the spell check link far over too.

I will look to correct this shortly. Have others noticed this, or is it working correctly on others machines?
