  1. Listen please, the old software had security vulnerabilities and needed updating to this version. Work has been done to make it more like the old version than the out of the box version. I'm getting a bit fed up with some people criticising when they don't consider these aspects or read any of the relevant posts about what's going on. Many people have shown a lot of understanding but some just want to shout an opinion. Frankly, that doesn't help one scrap.

      As a former computer graphics business owner who worked on a wide range of printed and web-based projects for many years, I can assure everyone that no-one will ever set about a project of this nature for the fun of it. This level of project is never undertaken lightly.

      It involves a lot of hard work and a deal of frustration, sometimes stumbles a little on problems that are almost impossible to anticipate and is rarely to everyone's liking on Day One.

      Stick with it for a while, make a bit of an effort to learn how it works and then, if you feel strongly about an existing feature or, would like to see a feature added, try making some constructive suggestions. There is a thread for this.

      Can you pin this comment? lol

       

      From some of the comments, it also looks like they think you wrote the software yourself and deliberately made the changes to pi$$ people off!

      Andy, RMW still exists and that is all that matters to old farts like me. Thank you.

      The exploration of space will always bear a human cost.

      Further comment beyond yours, Andy, is superfluous.

  3. I can only apologise for RMweb being offline around 12.20 - 14.00 today; the heavy loading caused a memory issue. As I was stuck at the NEC I was reliant on Dediserve bailing us out which they ably did!

      Yes, that arose after I was trying to fix an issue that was a hangover from the earlier outage.

      Please say you didn't just ask that?

      It was a tragic event when 96 Liverpool fans where killed at Hillsborough stadium. The police forged an accidental death verdict and it has now been over turned.

      R.I.P

    3. N15class

      N15class

      I am very sorry for not knowing what Hillsborough is, I have no interest at all in football, so how would I know it was a football ground? I could well of been working away at that time so of mist the main item of news.

      I feel sorry for the victims and their families.

  8. Sorry for the 20 minute 'outage'! A network glitch between the servers.

      More by luck than good judgement today, I think (assuming I'm in the right place!).

  11. GEntlemen of SWAG, be very afraid. A large flotilla of MPVs loaded to the gunwhales and with all manner of plastic detritus are coming down the M5 to clog up your roads.

      that's 1,500 a week! The most spam I've had was 10,500 in a week just after my eldest lad opened a Myspace account for me - fortunatly at the time I had already put a spam block on the suppliers server - now down to around 3,000 a week for the last year.

      I'm happy with the blue in the vanilla setting and find it marginally more relaxing than RMWeb blue

  18. Boris may be eligible for parole under a restraining order not to mention bodily functions, underpants, winding up the Mods and combinations thereof. This is of course subject to his acceptance of the above; breach of these parole terms will mean a long spell on the naughty step.

  20. is getting really annoyed with nit-picking, manufacturer and model-bashing today. Surely this site can be better used than that?

      I'd call tea essential; coffee is luxury !!

  22. can't abide blunt emails when the problem is user error. A bit like the emails I get virtually demanding evaluations of all manner of cr@p someone's found in a dead relative's loft.

    1. Boris

      Boris

      There is of course the option of an equally blunt reply!
