  Major Web Changes

 
 

 

 

 

 


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!
