    I am very glad to be a member of Gardener's Corner and enjoy the more light hearted posts as well as the informative and useful information provided by the many more experienced members on this site. I have noticed, however, that a good few of us humbler ordinary members have been demoted to apprentice gardener and our 'post count' has reset to single figures since the site was recently serviced, I hope this is not a comment on our well meant but maybe less well informed contribution to the site :scratch:. As the title suggests this is not a complaint (maybe a little whinge), about what is a fairly flawless and enjoyable group:thumb: T.D.

    :) Evening T Digger

    I seem to have lost all my money and I was quite rich because I've been here for so long and have made so many postings ..... sadly none of my postings have disappeared .... :(

    I can't answer your question but perhaps someone greater than I can .... which will also enlighten me ..... :help:

    In the meantime .... let's just get on with gardening or happy bantering ..... :thumb:

    It's because the upgrade isn't finished yet. Apparently all our bling is in the back up which hasn't yet been migrated - or so I'm told. All should be restored in the fullness of time.

    Hello Banana Man, I'm not sure of the exact number but I had recently graduated to the dizzy heights of 'gardener', an achievement that I was quite proud of. I would be happy with any count over 100 and to lose the ''apprentice'' part of my title if it doesn't involve too much hassle for you or your fellow admin folk, hope you can locate the Lady of Leisure's cash too, but in any event best wishes and thanks for a great group. T.D.

    I had not read your post Daisees, I was busy typing (very slowly) but thanks for the explanation, I shall now shut up with the petty whinging and let the folks who know what they are doing get on with it, thanks again to you, Banana Man and all the admin staff. T.D.

    "I will see if it restores of it's own accord first"

    I'm struggling to see how a restore can "top up" a moving target ... but good luck with that approach.

    Kristen,

    Things are not that straight forward with the server change over (which is obviously apparent), we did (or should I say, Richard did) do a full backup before he changed servers, so if there are any problems, I am hoping (as I am not a specialist at VBulletin) that it is possible to merge any missing posts/data from the saved files onto the forum.

    Please bear with us, as we do want to get the forum back where it should be (and some), but unfortunately, everyone on here has lives away from GC, me included, and as such, I need to work to keep the place running. The moderators do the moderating because they want to give back to the community and for no monetary gain, so please bear with us, and give us a chance to get things sorted.

    The negativity does not help the forum forward, it justs makes for an unhappy forum .

    Many thanks

    Nathan.
