Thanks, I try and speak to Joe regularly on Facebook but he hasn't responded there either I'm afraid :con

I have no idea what is going on in the background, any more than it seems you do. I was initially very unsure about moving this little forum yet again, but whatever its future, I feel I have done the right thing. Your assistance has been invaluable, of course.
Well, it appears that the ProphpBB Support forum is now "Read Only", announced my "Mallos" earlier today. ChrisW, the very same person, did exactly the same same with Freeforums Support a week ago. All support issues now go through Tapatalk. :gh

ETA What she posted on Freeforums Support on July 20th is word for word what appeared on ProphpBB Support today. Even the typo is the same.

How odd, the links to those two pages I posted only minutes ago now say "Down for Maintenance". Coincidence, I expect.

The links didn't parse correctly because they are too long, one reason why SEO URLs are not needed, it's all about the topic names nowadays...

Further changes in the pipeline, although I don't think there will be significant consequences for this forum. Our hosting company, Envesko LLC, will be undergoing some major restructuring, and a new hosting company, Envesko Services, is being set up, based in the UK. Ashley and colleague Matthew intend to continue to offer hosting, domain, email services etc.
That's as much as I know, atm.
