    Just a quick note to everyone. We're going to do our best to get things sorted today. But let me say something m'techie chaps won't say themselves.

    MSE Neil and MSE Daniel did the upgrade from 10.30pm to 5.50am this morning - so that we could keep the forum open for users in the max possible time. You'll note MSE Neil is already stoically back on here this morning trying to help out - and they've done a great job. This is a massive forum, with lots of specific tweaks, so upgrading it is alsways going to involve some ticks and turns.

    The above feedback is fab and really needed, thank you, but thought I'd let you know we've got a couple of sleepy, but very dedicated chaps doing it :)

    Someone please tell me I am not going mad, I am certain that along the top, there was a 'Chat' button, where 'User CP' now sits, next to 'Main Site'. Whenever I am in pm's, I always get back to the main forum, by clicking the 'Chat' link, however today I found myself in 'User CP'. :confused:


    I think your right

    Thanks for all your hard work MSEs Neil, Daniel and all the other unnamed techies.

    Since the upgrade, viewing via Safari v2.0.4, many of the site graphic links won't load or time out, e.g., "report post", "quick reply to this message". There's a blue question mark block instead.

    Yes there was a chat button because I always used it to get back to the forum rather than pressing the back button x amount of times.
    Regards,
    Dave

    If only I had a pound for every time I used the thanks button :D

    MSE Daniel and MSE Neil - I have a cuppa hot tea here for you and a slice of HM cake for you hard working techies :)

    And I am still missing the go to last post icon and if I scroll up and look at forexample tunesurfers post then I get a little red cross and Old in a square where there should be a little icon :)

    Nice and fast here too, the only thing is sometimes icons do not seem to load and I get a little red x
