Anybody else having problems getting on to the old forum? Few times today I have had a cannot be displayed type message when trying to view it. 
Yep had problems earlier, fixed now though.
Either their serverâs crashed; the host pulled the plug or, perhaps, Robâs finally called it a day? I just get consistent âServer Not Foundâ messages.

Not for me - still no access.
That was my thought earlier but then it came back. Not working now though! Do you think we will get a refund on our fiver? 
Just tried and it worked OK for me

I could get on briefly at one point, but nothing since.

I hope not. I quite like it there, despite the low post count most days.
Same here, still no access.
Same here no access all day
It could be a CloudFlare issue, which effectively sits in front of that forum, a problem with the data centre where the server lives, or even an issue with domain expiry. I canât say for sure. Most likely itâll get resolved and everything will carry on. Probably.
Iâd make two general pointsâŚ
-
Donât rely completely on anyone else - forums, Google, Facebook, whatever - to keep your data safe. Always have a copy of anything important, just in case.

In my opinion, you should have someone who can explain whatâs going on, especially if youâve paid for the service.
At TMF there are daily backups and the most recent five are stored. This forumâs servers are in London but It would be relatively easy to rebuild the forum in another data centre - the Netherlands, say, if there was a serious problem. Itâs unlikely anyone would notice the difference.

I have just tried again. Was working before, it is not now.
Autocorrect is the bane of my life.
Iâve no idea what you were trying to say, Saul, but simian didnât sound right. I suppose Autocorrect is aping human speech? I suppose itâs the result of monkeying around with computers.
Canât argue with any of that. You have us computer people bang to rights.
