    grey, thought it was the end. 😔. Let me be the first to say how pleased we are that all is up and running again just in time for the restart. 😀

    Same here as Fortune and Jay said.
    Is the recovery still in progress as the site is not as it was, or is it something at my end?
  • grey_til_I_dyegrey_til_I_dye

    I thought it was just me for a day or so then I want on “down for everyone or just me” and it said the site was down and it wasnt me. That was after resetting my iPad and phone more than once.

    Grey, just out of curiosity, was it hardware or software?
  • grey_til_I_dyegrey_til_I_dye
    Software. UpdatedOS, but that didn't go so well...

    Well done and many thanks

    I thought that was it and i would have to put up with the likes of C&H,Kumb and west ham till i die!.
    First of all i had nginx! who after googling them found out they were a web server then later it was vanilla.
    I have changed my original bookmark to this one as that comes up now as a blank page.the other thing i have noticed despite the different layout is that the site is now secure.

    My link is still showing as Not secure
  • grey_til_I_dyegrey_til_I_dye
    tbh the secure or not secure is neither here nor there. the 'secure' shows if your site has a free certificate, but there is no criteria for getting the certificate afaik

    it depends on whether the link begins with https:// as to if the browser reports the site as secure.
