SPA web forums are down, and may not be recovered.

Hopefully any posts on here can be transferred to the new forum once created. Please register, it only takes a few seconds.

Is it perhaps time that the SPA bit the bullet and paid for the expertise and time of an IT professional to look after one of their best resources - the website.
Twice in the last 3 years all the forum content has been lost (unless the latest can be recovered) and the website has been allowed "drift" without any useful update for almost the same period.

Can you access this temp. forum without going through the SPA site,just thought when the link goes on the shout bit we will not be able to find it again(i am no IT expert though).And well done George,at least we have something now.

You could bookmark it (click ctrl+d) I've asked Maxi to put a wee note on the homepage with the link.
I've no idea how long the forum will be down for, but in the run up to the Supers 4 days+ is too long without an easy means of communication

It's not looking good Ross, JB is still working on it. Problem is there doesn't appear to be any usable backups as the hosting company take a backup every night but the backup overwrites the previous backup!!!
And it's the database which holds the forum posts which is corrupt, so as soon as they backed up the corrupt database it overwrote the backup from night before it got corrupt....
JB is looking to see if he still has a copy of a backup as he used to do them every two weeks but obviously hadn't been doing them since he stepped down. It's just whether he still had one from around November time or not.
At least we wouldn't lose everything historically.

I've only added forum categories for imminent events, as hopefully the SPA forum won't take too long to fix. If anyone wants another category added in the meantime though, just drop me a pm
