The Forum will be moved to a new server tomorrow morning. Hopefully, this will help sort of some of the issues.
I'll echo farnham reds post. Please Gally let us know if you require any funds. And don't be shy about it!
I would be happy to chip in with a donation if you are incurring additional costs provided it isn't a daft amount. Someone mention £12 pa when you thought you would need about £90 per month for more capacity. Some wont mind paying and some wont pay. Personally, I don't care if some don't want to pay and get a 'free ride' if it means a) no advertising and b) only needing to sign in if you want to post rather than every time just to view posts as I like the BB as it is. Hopefully there are a sufficient number of likeminded others will to chip in. Peerhaps you could set up a poll* * All this assumes your latest fix either doesnt work and /or it has cost addtional money to fix the problem. That said 'so far so good' and the BB is currently fast and stable at my end.
