The company that hosts our website has recently made some major
changes in technology on their server, which in turn has a major
impact on our website. Some of you have already noticed that
the various "forms" on the site - to apply for a password, suggest a
new link on the links page etc., have stopped working. At some
stage I will get round to fixing this, but in the meantime instead
of using one of these forms, please contact me (Web Administrator)
with your request using the details on the
Contact Us page.
However, the biggest effect of changes is that they have altered the
way password protected areas are accessed, which means that I now need
to close down the "Members Only" area of the site, which includes the
"Forum" of course, while all 600+ usernames and passwords are entered
into the new system. As you can imagine, this is a pretty mammoth
task, and will take some time.
I intend to start this process on Monday 21st April, from which point
the "Members Only" area of the site, including the "Forum", will be
unavailable. I apologise for the inconvenience. I am annoyed
with the hosts for forcing this change on us, but switching to another
host would involve at least as much work - and as much time lost - in
setting up the website with them.
I will keep you informed on my progress via news items accessed from
the MBF Home Page, so please
keep checking!
Dave Jessop.
