Hi

Have just refound the Forum. I had asked to be transferred across grom the old site but this didn't happen. I wonder how many 'old' members were lost in the transfer? Hopefully not too many as the Forum has been a source of very useful information to us in the past.

Cheers

Chris

Hi Chris

I thought that I had gotten everybody across who had requested it - my apologies if I missed you off (can't go back and check as the old one is now defunct Blush

)

Welcome to the new site, we hope that the benefits that this new format will outweigh the grief of having to re-register.

Thanks
Steve

Hello Chris, unfortunately the only way we could do it was to re-register people as Lefora was a free site and it wasn't possible to transfer the database here.

I'm sorry you didn't get transferred, Steve passed on the details of those that asked to be transferred to me and I registered them manually. I can't find a record of your request so can only apologise as it seems to have got mislaid. Blush

I'm glad you managed to find the new forum and I'm working very hard to get it noticed, and it is slowly creeping up in Google but it will take time.

I noticed LeFora has pulled the plug on the old forum like I said they would. So now we all have to work hard posting good information to get the new forum going again, but I can assure you this time it's here to stay.

Regards.

Fred.

Steve got there before me. What a service Smile

Chris, one other thing to mention was that during the transition period I went through the old site users, seeing who had been active within the past year or so and sent personalised private messages to all of them informing of the upcoming change.

Unfortunately there were actually only a few 'real' regulars for the old place so not many people read their PMs I suspect.

Fred is doing sterling work in getting the new site up in the Google (and other) rankings and one of the best ways we can help achieve this is by all of us actively posting new messages. Each day or so Google and the other search engines crawl around our site with their robots looking for new pages, each time it does it moves us just a little further towards the top of the rankings (unless someone else has a similar site/content - then it becomes a challenge and we have to actively persuade it to rank us higher through the use of various 'top secret' methods).

They used to say "points make prizes" well nowadays on the internet it's more like "posts make rankings".

Many thanks to the pair of you.

Chris
