Site Closure 27th-28th June was created by fats
Hi all,

I'm closing the site down for 2 days to enable me to make some server changes, these changes are essential updates to the server software and to make some improvements to the performance of the site, I'm going to be making more changes to the site later in the year, but for now, I'm concentrating on the backend rather than the frontend of the site.

During the downtime the chat server will still be available for members to chat and keep up to date with what is going on, you can access the server via this link

discord.gg/uuQQdgr

If you have any questions please post them below and I'll try to answer them as soon as I can.

Hi all,

That took a little longer than I expected but we are back.

All the work that took place this weekend was all done for improvements for the upcoming changes to the site, this downtime was for me to make all the server changes that I needed to enable that to happen.  At the start of September, I'll make the changes live for all members but for now you will not notice much in terms of what you are used to seeing.

The only change that you will notice is that we have lost the instant messaging box at the bottom of the screen, the version we have is not compatible with the updated PHP version so we have lost that for now, if people are looking for that to return then we will need to look at the coffers and see if we can get another 3-month licence and update it to the current version.

I'm going to next weekend run the two new templates on the site, one on Saturday and one on Sunday and I'll be posting a poll for your feedback on that.

It was suggested that we run some sort of competition to design a new server graphic for the discord chat server, I was thinking of extending that to designing new graphics for the SWM server as well, more news on that will follow once I've met with WC and Lfan.Lastly, I would like to thank you all for your patience over this downtime, I know it's never nice but it's helpful to keep the site running as well as it is.Fats
