Welcome to the new server

[Ian_W]

Finally managed to see it.

 

Problem is, whilst I can restore the latest backup - I will loose any posts made today on here. If I don't then the previous days posts are lost.

 

What do people want? Shall I restore, or leave it as it is...

 

I can't win whatever I do

Hi Ian_W.

 

I have some bad news for you. It's only you and me on here. This is the old one.

 

See "HELP" on this Sacfc Forum.

 

Now that we are alone and, presumably David Holden is no longer around, can I become a red named Director?

[AFF]

Can I use bad language?

 

Can we discuss grant application procedures to the Football Foundation? I have one or two stories that would make your hair curl.

 

 

[Ian_W]

No this is the new server - it doesn't have the header at the top

 

In fact at the moment I am on both the old and new server at the same time.

 

More people are here than there...

[AFF]

Ian_W.

 

This is not funny any more.

 

I am on the old server. When I go to SACFC General chat thingy, GHA posted a very old joke earlier today and the last message on the forum was 3 days ago. On the prediction league forum the last poating was last Saturday morning. On the Football Forum, the last thread was my cry for help yesterday and then Ron's helpful reply today. I'm really going to have to deal with him.

 

This is the old one.

 

Can I be an Administrator with a red name?

[Ian_W]

No this is the new one - I was going to try and restore the messages - but it will wipe out anything posted on this server. So if I can merge the threads I will, but no guarantees.

 

In fact 5 minutes ago I posted on the old server, refreshed my screen and here I was.

 

Any messages made in the last 48 hours are over there not here - hence the big gap.

 

I will do my best - but can't guarantee.

 

If you want to share part of the £3,000+ a year cost for this site, you are more than welcome to be a red name This server problem has cost an additional $500+ so you are welcome to click on the donate button to the side

Forgive the lack of faith Ian_W. You have no idea what it's like on here.

 

I was just about to brgin a story about the grant application stuff but I'll keep that for another day.

 

The red name thingy. Is that all there is toi it? Is that how that nice chap from Gravesend & Northfleet has got a red one?

[Ian_W]

I can assure you it has been a right pain for the last 2 or 3 days - essentially I had to throw a lot of money at the situation to try and keep some sort of service up and running for you.

 

But we are fully back now - so all I can is to apologise.

 

I think you will agree of all the forums you know, this one has very little downtime.

 

 

 

 

[AFF]

Now there's a surprise.

 

Logged off, logged on, logged off, came on via www.sacfc.co.uk, logged off, came on via the Urchins site and every single time it's back here.

 

Oh, by the way. There is a banner thing at the top of this page. It's got Non League etc on the left and the Renault car on the right.

 

Now what?

 

As we're alone do you want to hear my story of the grant applications?

[Ian_W]

Sorry what I mean is there is no 'Emergency Type Notice'...

[AFF]

Our messages crossed in the ether Ian_W.

 

Now listen. Don't get depressed. Don't become maudlin. You do a great job and everybody thinks that you're wonderful. Well, nearly everybody. There is only you and me on here and my knowledge of computers is not exactly encyclopaedic. You can do it Ian.

 

Get us out of here!!

 

 

[Rob_the_Saint]

Ian,

 

I'm not bothered about any other posts, but if you could restore the predictions for the Crawley game that would be most appreciated. Failing that, a text file or similar would suffice.

 

Much obliged.

 

Rob

[Alan W (GNFC)]

Nice to see our Mr Holden is so famous (or should I say, infamous??) !!!

[Uncle Urchin]

Oi...you bunch of whinging dumplings...whats going on....

 

 

you're supposed to be the IT wizz kids around here...we're just double glazing thickos who write intelligent posts for all of our avid admirers to learn from and YOU are denying them that pleasure...

 

get things sorted or else I'll have to do it myself...I've just bought a book called ''IT skills for idiots''... <img src="/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

 

that'll sort it out... <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

 

and you AFF.... stop using our sacred forum as a short cut....just cos you got lucky at our place dunt mean that you can take liberties... <img src="/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

[JD-BWFC]

Well done Ian, glad to see that all your hard work has paid off.

[FleetFanatic]

Yeah thanks - now is there any chance of retrieving the GNFC prediction league info that is missing?

 

I just need the info that was posted for our Dagenham & Scarborough games.....predictions for both games have posts missing and 'latest positions after dagenham (home)' is gone altogether!

 

Please, please, please?

[FleetFanatic]

Even an e-mail of the info copy and pasted will do - fleetfanatic@blueyonder.co.uk .....

[Ian_W]

The threads can be found on the links below...

 

Scarborough

 

Dagenham

 

Clicking elsewhere may give strange results but this is the database.

[FleetFanatic]

Cheers Ian - all sorted out now!

[AFF]

Hi Ian_W.

 

Well done, Ian. All sorted now. Do you ever suffer from the shudders when you look back at things that haven't exactly gone as you planned them? Well, Ian. Forget it. Least said, soonest mended.

 

My story about the grant monies for ground improvements can keep for another day when we are locked together, alone in cyberspace.

 

Hi Uncle Urchin.

 

Of all the sites in all the Leagues that I could have chosen as a route into this message board thing, it was yours. High-tech, super-efficient, 21st Century. It was you lot or Billericay and I chose you.

 

What do you mean 'lucky'? A comprehensive 1-0 stuffing as I recall.

 

Good luck on the 6th!
