Forums down -- now live again

[kimhollamby]

Apologies to all, have just managed to figure out the problem. You should all be able to log on okay now.

Apologies to all...we've suffered an unforeseen millennium-type issue in a kind of British railways way (four years late) and most PC users with system calendars set to 2004 will not be able to log on today, although all previous posts remain available to view.

To compound the issue we also have some maintenance issues going on with our secure access to servers and so we are not going to get this bug fixed today. I'll keep you all updated with progress.

Meantime, you can gain access if you are prepared to reset system clocks to a 2003 date. There is some risk to your system in doing this regarding file management and so this is an advisory, rather than a recommendation.

Mac OSX users may find themselves unaffected.

Once again, sorry, not a great way to start the new year...

Re: Forums down

Mine seems to be working alright. Or maybe I'm not computer literate enough to know the difference (and that probably aint far off the truth)
