Hi all, As everyone is currently aware, we have been having intermittent (but long) issues with access speed to our current hosts ( www.powweb.com) who arent being very unhelpful with Customer Service. So a change of host will be made, we will be moving to www.asmallorange.com as I have previous experience of them, and while the features-per-pound will take a bashing, the customer service is generally awesome  There will be NO fee to pay, I am committed to keeping TotalCarlton.com free for all. I will also take this opportunity to upgrade the forum software to the latest version to help with general running speed and MAYBE implement some new ideas. However I am currently underneath a Mk2 Carlton for pretty much all my evenings in a Bid to make Billing, so please bear with me until after the VBOA Billing Show for these changes to be implemented. The site will be offline for a fair amount of time (read a couple of days max hopefully) whilst the final swap is made. I hope that after this period TC will continue to grow and become stronger. Thankyou for your patience with this matter, and feedback greatly welcomed in this thread. Regards Mark |

Good news, mate - I do like this site. Shame about the downtime; I'll have to make a nuisance of myself on "the other side"...
Might even start to get some more interesting posts on OEC....

I tend to forget how much work goes in to maintaining a forum, This is a great site with really helpful members who live in the real world, making the running of a Carlton more appealing. I ,(like many other people I suspect) take this and other forums' smooth running for granted, and forget about the on-going work done behind the scenes. I am looking forward to the site being back up to speed and would like to thank you and the other guys that make it all possible.  Personally, I wouldn't know where to start!! |

Well, thanks for all the encouragement chaps. Royston, yes it does need a fair amount of work, sadly I find it a struggle to even manage that a lot of the time, however this should redress the balance! As a slight curve ball to our hosting issues, my brother has offered me space on a Virtual Private Server he is renting, which is rather spangly. Look at for calls to help test it in the not so distant future. |

Must be catching, as ABS forum has slowed down just lately - well, for me anyway! |
