Just came across what may be a small problem.
I went to read this thread
http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=56698
It tells me to read it I have to go here
http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/content.php?r=13-Shanghai-Culinary-Adventure
where I get the standard, "MI5_Dog, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:" message.
NO, this isn’t an issue, it’s connected to a temporary article on the front page. The member ’Harry’ is one we use for working on the site. The article does exist we’ve just limited access at the moment while we sort out permissions etc across the site.
Was it broke before? Seemed fine to me, but now the new upgrade crashes my Internet Explorer browser and I have to use Firefox to read the PM's. British Blades forum did the same thing after their upgrade. Thanks for the changes anyway, just need to figure out what's gone where all over again.
He he, it’s not so much broke as the software had moved on and we also need to bring the front end back online so that the articles and reviews are available and it becomes a website again instead of just a forum. Sorry about the clash, I know there’s going to be a few issues with the upgrade and my apologies for that. The software developers are bringing out updates every couple of months at the moment and each one is sorting out lots of problems and I’m sure that will be one of them soon.
Although there is a "home" button when I click it it tells me I do not have permission etc...
is this coz the home page is not up yet or have I a problem...I am guessing that the page is not ready
John, this is connected to the first point above, the home page will lead to the home page

That’s where the main index will be for the articles, reviews, news, forums etc etc it’s not fully available as we work on it. It’s definitely not a problem your end.
Seems to be some stuff missing. Is it just me or have we lost some recent threads?
There should be no missing threads, posting was stopped, DB backed up and then restored and then posting opened up again. If there is any they could be little brand new ones from the time of the actual upgrade, but i don’t think there is.
Some will also notice that we’ve lost over a thousand members, this is after a clean up where we’ve deleted some unused accounts, deleted accounts, and other non used accounts, we did this once before a year ago and took about a thousand off then.
Ultimately we’re going to be refining things for a while yet, it was a big jump to go from where we were to where we are, I don’t like change as much as the next guy but looking forward it’s one of those things that’s got to happen, security always needs tightening, software gets superseded, our needs have to be met etc etc.
In a short while it will all be fine, it will look different and all work well, we’ll have loads of content up both old and new.
