Thanks, Brian, much appreciated by all members, I’m sure. Of course , there is always something: Would you please check for a glitch that may have caused some recent postings to be left out? The Tech Committee, particularly, shows none of our conversations since April.
Ian.
The last update to the platform we were running was in 2004 - There are people racing in the club that are younger than that - and they shut down the download page for that product in 2010. TBH, it should have been replaced 15 years ago.
It’s so old and so full of security holes that some of the data is very corrupt and I will have to manually try to unpack each individual post and add it separately.
I would suggest in the meantime that if anything if ongoing that you need to address, just create a new Topic. I can easily combine them later.
It was a rush to get this done as the Hosting company just shut us down with no warning and people were emailing for access.
They actually began the process of shutting us down on September 25th and didn’t say a word - Bloody Rogers. It’s now running, unfortunately, on a hosting provider in the US as there are really no Canadian companies that do this stuff at a decent price point any more.
Drat. It was something that we noticed and I hoped it might be a matter of fixing one annoying thing like an extra comma typed in a topic heading that stopped the transfer! The tech commitee looks quite often at the history of our discussions and decisions on our private part of the forum so it would be good to get it back if possible at a convenient date.
