Old forum gone...how to look up things?

I just noticed the old forums are gone. That’s a pity, because they’re excellent to look up a lot of things. They may be closed for new entries, but deleting them would be a shame. Please revive them for reading!

Agreed - especially since many enticing Google links go there.

Agreed x100… the Google thing is quite frustrating, thinking you’ve got the answer and you can even read part of it, but then you click the link and the page isn’t there.

Would love to know this as well.

Hey Realmac…I’ve raised a request here. Don’t you want to respond??

We’ve replied elsewhere about this. The old forums weren’t planned to be removed so soon, however unfortunately there’s no way to retrieve the old data now I’m afraid.

Thanks,

Can you provide a link to this discussion Nik? I’ve searched but found nothing. Seems a terrible waste of a huge - if somewhat rambling :sunglasses: - resource.

Agreed. A shame. There must be a backup on some server. Come on…duh!
