Well, they have had all day to sort it out and it is still pretty crap really. A lot of people seem to be geting p1ssed off with it, but I notice that none of them are posting on here,so I must have p1ssed them off even more :)

Seems a shame for what used to be a good site, but maybe Jools is right - some of the Lounge posts are bordering on being offensive for no good reason; not even mildly funny imho. Even someone who raised an issue, perhaps slightly awkwardly, having been a PBO subscriber since the 60s (obviously a handy guy to know), being burnt off by some arrogant kid. Pointless.

Anyway, time to hang up the keyboard and go sailing.

I got a knock-back using what I am sure was my old login name and pw. It may have something to do with new email address... who knows.
I will prolly re-register if only to be able to view pics, not being bothered about posting history.
It was interesting seeing the Lounge which I never went into until the spamgate bru-haha. What a lot of anal rubbish.

10.50:
Maintenance
Sorry, our forums are currently down for maintenance while we try to improve the stability.

As you may be aware, we have recently migrated our forums to a new system. Please bare with us while we iron everything out.

Please try again soon.
Makes me feel quite smug. Our modestly sized IT department managed to migrate this board from one system to another (OK, more closely related) and move servers not once but twice with almost no interruption to service. We even survived our own (fairly minor admittedly) spam attack without shutting the board down.

I am afraid the Peter Principle IMO renders corporate IT departments universally useless. It would probably have gone more smoothly if it HAD been left to Dan on his laptop.

It looks as if YBW have had to take down their entire website for some reason.

All I get for ybw.com is "service unavailable".

Well yer no missing much! - the new format is pretty unusable as is. A real PITA - I gave up after a few days.

I've been away so only tried today for the first time. Got in with no probs with usual login name and password but it seems to fall over a lot ( I think - I'm trying to multitask so not on TOP full time )

You may be short of stature, Nick, but it must be an advantage in cramped spaces.
