WEBSITE MAINTENANCE (Don’t Panic!!)

2012-11-27T20:22:56+01:00

Hi lovely forum people, just letting you know that we will be doing some tinkering under the bonnet of TGP this evening starting around 11pm. We are moving everything to another server up there in the cloud somewhere and I have been advised that this can take up to 24 hours. There will be a period where the site is read only and I can’t guarantee that anything posted during this period will not be lost. All being well everything should be back to normal by Thursday morning.
Many apologies for the inconvenience.
Regards
Jez
