Even though I don't post much here, I visit everyday (at least once). It's been a long couple of days.

Ditto.
It's good to have it back :)
It's been a tough few days with no TZ-UK fix, so glad it's back! Looks like a different URL ..

The forum is back up an running entirely due to the efforts of forum member tekkno. Graham has worked wonders and I'm amazed that he could do what he has.
Without going into too many details, suffice to say that it's a bit of smoke and mirrors, string and chewing gum. I'll be sorting out a new hosting service tomorrow and unless it goes down before, there will be some more downtime later this week whilst everything is transferred to the new server.
Seems like a good time to install the latest stable version of PHPBB. :)
Many thanks from me Graham.
Eddie
Whole chunks of my life come under the heading "it seemed like a good idea at the time".
Welcome back TZ-UK! :)
Seems Eddie sold his last Dreadnought, as it is no longer on the upper right-hand corner of the page :wink:
Thanks Graham!! :)
Thanks Eddie - and Graham!
Damn, missed the gang.....
When you look long into an abyss, the abyss looks long into you.........
Many thanks Eddie and Graham :thumbright:
Cheers,
Nigel

It was like having your 'watch' arm chopped off :( Glad we are together again - thanks Eddie and Graham :)

I FEEL LIKE I'M DIAGONALLY PARKED IN A PARALLEL UNIVERSE
Glad your back. I also don't post much but come by everyday to see whats up. Definitely missed the forum.
Well done Graham.. & Eddie..
It's been a hellish few days. Didn't realise what an addiction I had till now.
Actually checked 12 times yesterday to see if there was any life..
12 !! How mad is that ? Mrs W thinks i'm off my lid....
Hello guys... I've really missed you all

I'm not as think as you drunk I am.
Great to see TZ back up- many thanks for what sounds like a tough fix.
BTW, You'd not believe how much real work I got done while the forum was down.

Hi all
Jeeeze what a nightmare, I was cold turkey for three days...
...just shows how dependant you can get.!
Splendid job getting it up and working.!
Thanks

I have been wondering how many times the word c*nt*ng has been deployed in relation to the existing host?
Great to have the forum back, I missed it a lot.
Thanks Graham and Eddie.
Thomas
Well done and thanks to Graham and Eddie
Man was I going cold turkey...
Nice one, Graham! Hopefully we'll get something nice and stable very soon!

Skating away on the thin ice of a new day
Forum doesn't work....I save some money.
sales.forum.com :D
Yes, its nice to see the forum up and running again, but I suspect not as much as those members who run the sales section as their own commercial enterprise!!! It was interesting looking around at the increased traffic on other watch forums.
Cheers cb40
Thanks to all who were involved in getting the forum back on line, especially Eddie and Graham. It's been a long 3 days!
The other place is nothing like as friendly!!
You are all quite welcome. I realised that Eddie was having issues with his hosting service and i know that NOTHING gets done by the back end support over a weekend as it is just too expensive to employ clueful people on a Saturday or Sunday and as Eddie provides the forum from his own resource i welcome the opportunity to put a bit back into something from which i derive enjoyment.
However, it is all held together with bubblegum right now so blame me if it goes pear shaped. To repeat what Eddie has said, the forum will undergo radical change over the next week or so so expect some outages. The difference will be that the outages will be planned and Eddie will give you plenty of notice.
Nice that it is working though!
At last!
Well done Eddie & Graham, thanks :thumbright:
normality at last, thanks. 3 days seems like 3 weeks :wink:
Might I add a small suggestion: Instead of upgrading to phpbb3, give SMF (Simple Machines Forum) some thought.
I've migrated my phpbb Board (> 200000 posts) to SMF and the performance increase was incredible. In addition the board has some very nice features which you don't get with phpbb.
Just some food for thought...
Cheers,
Oliver
Gotta say that I really missed this place, too. I used to mostly post at WUS but of late I've posted more here than anywhere else and it's become one of my favourite hang-outs. Very glad to see it back online! I've been trying to get in about 6 times a day since it disappeared the other day. :D
Phew, it's back up and running! :D
Top work Eddie and Graham, and many thanks.
I did however manage to buy another watch during the downtime, don't let a small thing like lack of access stop me! :lol:
Well done Eddie and Graham - a few of us were driven to posting PRS pics at another place :):)
Another thanks to Graham and Eddie, well done. I also must have tried at least 10 times between Friday and today. It's amazing how much you miss it , and none of the other watch forums can make up for it.
I post hardly but read regularly.
Well done chaps :)
Good work Graham and Eddie!
My life is back on track again, now I can mismangage my job tomorrow as usual.

Shit I have just realised how bad my addiction is...................
"2 to 3 days without a fix wow I was going mad"
Thank you for getting the forum up again.
Simon T
Is this site now much faster for anyone else? I posted recently how this forum was far slower for me than any other site. It's now just as fast - Hope it stays that way :)
Good to see the forum back, thanks Eddie and Graham
damn- i thought my 'puter was going down again when i couldn't get on tzuk ( i nearly chucked it at the wall in disghust.)
i have a look in on most days (don't usually login unless there's something that i decide to reply to but as said previously, i kept trying again and again, i ended up finding out that the forum was up and running when someone on british blades forums put a thread up that tz was back up and running :hello1: :hello1: :hello1:
graham- you're a genius (i think a national holiday is called for :lol: )
rgds, john :P
btw, anyone else notice that it was mentioned on other fora that tz was down??
think i read it on at least 4 other forums :wink:
ps, i had to spell disgust with a 'h' in it otherwise it brought up a blue smiley :roll:
Amazing how much you can miss a 'net forum isn't it :!: :!:
Thanks Eddie & Graham!
there after a day of two of not getting my fix.
:D thanks Eddie and Graham :thumbleft:
