Failed update - backup restores

Well, the good news is that the process for restoring this forum from a backup has worked. The bad news is that an update of the software that runs the forum failed. I performed the upgrade at 13:34 this afternoon after taking a backup. Unfortunately it took a while before the problems were detected...

Forum updated

I have just updated the forum to the latest version of the phpBB software. Hopefully you should see not negative effects, but if you do, please let me know via the technical Forum Problems and Suggestions section

Re: Forum returned

Unfortunately, it appears that the hosting company are still experiencing problems which is affecting the load and availability of their servers. Because of this, the server that hosts this forum keeps dropping off the internet for short periods. Hopefully these periods will become less frequent and...

Forum returned

As you have no doubt noticed, this forum has been unavailable since early Saturday morning. This has been because of problems experienced by the hosting company. The server that hosts this forum was accidentally wiped. Unfortunately, so were a large number of other servers. It has taken until 7am to...

Tapatalk Plugin

For those of you who can't get enough of the forum, we have had another go at installing the Tapatalk plugin.

This plugin will notify you when posts are made to the forum. It also makes reading the forum easier on a phone apparently.

F.A.Q. 2 - Cannot log in

I have had a lot of emails from people who cannot log in to the new forum with their old user ID and password. When the old forum died at the beginning of August we lost all of the content and all user details. You will need to go through the registration process again before you can access this sys...

F.A.Q. 1 - "New Posts"

The biggest F.A.Q. so far with the new forum is about the lack of a "New Posts" link. This link shows any posts that have been made to the forum since your last visit, and was very popular on the old forum. This link is not missing, it's just hidden in a drop-down menu. If you look on the ...

New Unofficial NYMR Forum

Unfortunate at the beginning of August the old forum died when the hosting server stopped working. The structure of the forum as it stood in 2013 has been used to recreate the structure of the old forum but unfortunately the content has been lost. The plus side of this is that we can start again wit...
