Hi

I quite like this forum, and wondered if it would be possible to have a dedicated C4 sub section please?

I know there is C4 owners, but I find that forum very tricky to navigate and thought having a sub forum on here might be a useful addition now a few more people are getting their mitts on them.

Thanks!

Just thought I'd let C4 owners on here know that there is a new Bookface page for the C4. Not sure if this will link to it or to my Bookface! onclick= window.open(this.href);return false;

Appologies for the prolonged outage, I noticed on Friday night that the forum server was not behaving itself, and in an attempt to reboot it remotely, I inadvertantly hit the shutdown button rather than the little up arrow next to it to get to the reboot button. :oops:
Once up on my return this afternoon, the server kept rebooting after I logged...

Members using AOL browser or linking from AOL will most likely have problems reaching this forum.

Ever since we started the discussions forum, AOL have been a problem, because the forum software used in the past - and the PHP software used now - is optimised for the de facto standard browser *Microsoft Internet Explore (IE) * version 5, 6 or 7....

Some of you may remember the old phpBB2 search function* and shudder.
Some of you may only know the current phpBB3 search function so won't realise how much of an improvement it is.

Well, now thanks to the research by Matt Fenwick of the BXC, we can bring you the power of Google's site search!!!

About 2 and a half long hours ago I noticed the forum was down due to database errors.
The main database had become corrupt and required a restore from backup.
Consequently all posts, including PMs made from 2am on the 22nd June have been lost.
Sorry about that.

For reasons that I don't yet fully understand, The AOL mail system is rejecting all mail from the forum.

This means that any new members who use AOL and try to sign up to this forum will never receive their activation email and thus will never be able to activate their newly created accounts.

This seems to only affect AOL but I'm watching...
