Craig Posted February 22, 2003 Report Share Posted February 22, 2003 Every so often the windows forum host shuts down the software that this forum uses to do a backup of the whole site.Thats probably why you had that message appear.Last time i saw one, it only happened for about 2 mins.Craig.

Scarthy © ® ™ Posted February 23, 2003 Report Share Posted February 23, 2003 I would just like to add that posting in the "news" forum is difficult. I tried the other day and gave up and posted in software instead. I have read another thread that points to a problem with news postings also... <_> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
