If you can read this message then consider yourself VERY privileged!
Our forum has once again ground to a halt  >:(
I am trying desperately to sort things out. Apologies for the problems and please be patient while I try to sort it out.

I think I now know the main reason for the problems although it doesn't explain why it sometimes works and sometimes not.  :-\  Ignoring that, I need to find out how to fix it or, to be more precise, how to convince our hosts the problem is with them and get them to fix it  :(

It's like hitting my head against a brick wall  >:( Our hosts' support team are useless and I keep going round in circles. Having received the message below, I thought I was getting somewhere but it seems not as they now decided to give me a backup of the database taken on the 1st of September. I have much newer backups of the database (in fact I managed to get a good enough connection tonight and got a backup  :D ). Once again sorry this is taking so long but hopefully it will be resolved soon....

I keep on getting "timed out" messages when trying to open a topic. But then when I back out of the page it corrects itself. Seems also to be hanging

 :-\ Still works fine for me  :D Paul and Dave you both connect via btcentralplus so maybe the connection problems are isolated to certain ISPs.

OK, I've done some simple maintenance to the database that might improve performance. I don't want to do too much on the principle of "if it ain't broken don't fix it" and at the moment doesn't seem broken to me.  :-\
