Between the bottom of the boards & the information panel there is the option to mark forums as read. If it's not working please sing out so I can let Barry know :) I use this a lot. It's a bit of a dexterity test to hit on the decktop, and nearly impossible on mobile. Could be a bit more promin...

Maintenance is complete. I still need to look into whats going on with the search feature, but we are now in a position to properly moderate the forum again, including doing stuff like creating new sections... Speaking of which, a new 2024 Tour section will be created later today. :) Thanks for your...

I will shortly be taking the site offline for some essential (and frankly, long overdue) maintenance. Probably within the next half hour or so. It will likely be down for a couple of hours, and you may experience some strange behaviour and unusual error messages in that time. Bear with me, and I'll ...

Holy crap. GinaB1970 that is amazing. I own that guitar (as you will know, from the thread elsewhere on the forum) - it's in a case in my attic :D That is incredible! May I buy that model from you? The sticky tape holding the wires in is so old and dry - its been on there since the mid 80s :lol: I'd...

Anyone going?

Currently negotiating a pass out with with Mrs Q as she already had a gig planned in Manchester that evening... but she acknowledges that this is a once in a lifetime kinda thing.

Be great to see some familiar faces there (not on the stage)

Anyone fancy helping a friend out?

Ahh, thanks folks

haven't check they're all legit though (what could possibly go wrong!)

this is a good sign.... i hope?

i might have to take the forum offline for a couple of hours (probably best done overnight) and see if that takes any of the load off

in case anyone wants to get super nerdy:



i haven't got a scooby why mysql has suddenly starting using so much cpu

Looks like I spoke too soon

new posts link has been buggered for weeks. yep 👇 Hi QB. Is the search issue related to the latest posts issue? It's not been working for around the same period of time, and makes it more difficult to track forum activity. Especially with aging eyes on a small screen. 😭 Ps. It seems to reinstate it...

The good (ish) news is that a number of remedial measures have brought CPU usage down from a scary, server-melting, >80% to an average of 30% Graphs showing CPU and server load over the past 14 days https://i.ibb.co/X3pPmyY/image.png Graphs showing CPU and server load over the past 7 days https://i....

Hi QB. Is the search issue related to the latest posts issue? It's not been working for around the same period of time, and makes it more difficult to track forum activity. Especially with aging eyes on a small screen. 😭 Ps. It seems to reinstate itself after you post. So for now at least I can see...
