OK own up, who dropped the new forum and bent it? Or have the Christmas batteries run out? I am suffering sharp withdrawal symptoms

Still it's nice here. I will hang out here more often !

**Toddy** · 09-01-2010, 14:00

It's nice to see you all, but I'm missing my BB coffee break

Oh, and I'll raise you scones and home made raspberry jelly to go with the tea

cheers,
Toddy

**Dave Budd** · 09-01-2010, 14:01

are you my wife now?

I'll go make a cup of tea now...

**Toddy** · 09-01-2010, 14:05

It's just that kind of afternoon, mug of cha, scone and jam, cat asleep on my lap, peace with the world

Not so cold here, but it's gently snowing. The flakes are falling so slowly I can catch them on a bit of glass and see the individual patterns

Very pretty.

cheers,
M

Similar day here, hot chocolate, me and the dog dozing in front of the fire, very quiet. I'm enjoying dipping into the threads with outdoor photos, all the benefits without frozen fingers and aching knees.

You and me both Toddy.

The problem seems to be with the CMS generating an inordinate amount of database queries and crippling the server. My host think vBulletin code is to blame and there are acknowledged issues it would seem.

If push comes to shove, we can always revert to our old database and forums, this is why we have backups, but I would very much like to get vB 4.0 working, it's bought and paid for. Anyway, support tickets are in with hosting company and vBulletin and we shall see what we can come up with. May be a few days of down time till we get it sorted.

Sorry.

**zorro** · 09-01-2010, 17:28

I wont pretend I'm not missing BB, but BCUK is looking after us a treat.

Having to wait makes you apreciate just how much fun we have on BB.

**Whittler Kev** · 09-01-2010, 17:33

I would be on BB asking about BCUK if i had problems loading the site. Both equally great sites I can't do without

**johnbaz** · 09-01-2010, 18:02

Hmmm- it worked for me too but was extremely slow then got the 403 error again

John

Lots of functions still not working properly yet John, it soons spits its dummy out. When you get 403 hit your back button and try another aproach.

It's a bit like our lass when I ask for money.

It's up, but only about 20% functional.

You wont get it to work till it's fixed, so there is no point banging on the door. This is going to take days guys, sorry.
