And we are back!

(Kind of...)
After almost exactly 4 days, that my scalp may never recover from, the forum is back up and running. This time with a new lick of paint and all (ok, most) of the gaffa tape that was holding the old one's software together removed and replaced with shiny new parts.
Issues logging in - Incorrect password entered
If you are reading this and find you can't login please click the 'I forgot my password' option on the login page and enter the email you used to register. Clicking the link in the email you receive will allow you to enter a new password which you can then login with. Whilst your username and all the posts still exist, for some reason the passwords went a bit haywire in the transfer and resetting them seems to be the only thing that works.
Teething Problems with the new design
If after you've logged you have any issues navigating the new look or if I missed anything from the old board that you're missing, post below and I'll do my best to help ASAP.
Forum Address
I need to sort out the domain so the address bar is a little tidier but frankly I desperately need a day where I'm not doing something with this forum so I'm going to spend my Saturday making bread and visiting my allotment.
Thanks, Steve
Last but certainly no means least a huge thank you to Steve Walker. Not only for hosting this new/updated version of the forum but for 3 days of back and forth emails to me and the hosting company as we tried to work out what on earth the issue that was holding us back was. Whether we actually fixed it, or merely successfully worked around it I am still not entirely sure - but it is here and that's the important bit.
