    Site Downtime

    Sorry for this morning's downtime folks - Two of our clients were running an old (vulnerable) version of the software MovableType on the server which was exploited bringing the server down.

    Scope Stand

    Ok Sparks you funding the titanium stand I've looked around have seen some smaller stands but they lack adjustments. I think Chris' aluminium stand may be the one - anyone have a second hand one for sale

    Scope Stand

    Ok, I'm now after a lightweight but stong/well-balanced scope stand. The Opticron stand actually looks ok but I'm sure I could get a lot lighter. Currently got the Kowa TS-1 and would possibly consider a lightweight scope too but needs to have a nice sharp image. Open to suggestions people... especially first hand recommendations Thanks

    Site Downtime

    Paul, I wouldn't say very low cost, nor would I say its at the other end of the scale. I've worked in conjunction with some big companies providing services to even bigger clients and sometimes there are things that are just outwith your control, regardless of SLA's

    Site Downtime

    Sorry for the disruption to yesterday's service folks but some nice people decided to attack Level 3 (one of the backbone providers for our servers) with a DoS attack, rendering the data connection the internet useless. To stop this attack affecting all users the feed for Level3 has been pulled until they have the attack under control. This attack is now only affecting clients who's ISP's are coming in over the Level3 network. We hope Level3 will have the situation under control shortly and we will be able to reconnect the feed and resume normal services, again we can only apologise for the disruption this attack has caused to our services, including the forum

    Thanks to all who have contributed to the forum over the past couple of years and it's now starting to slowly but surely be used on a daily basis, and seems to be proving useful for many - the purpose it was setup

    Server Upgrade

    That's the move done and if you are reading this, then your ISP's records have also updated to point to the new server. Many thanks Neil

    Server Upgrade

    Well the time has come for further improvements, we (Ikiji) are moving to a UK based datacentre with some nice new servers. The upgrade will be taking place this coming weekend and will mean a period of time where some of you will be pointing at the old server and some of you pointing at the new - obiously this can mean posts getting lost. Hence once some of the details are confirmed and the forum is copied over to the new server, I will redirect this copy (i.e. on the old server) to the new one but you will see the IP address in the bar at the top instead of http://forum.stirton.com Things will be even faster after the move, especially if you are UK based. All I ask is that you bear with me this weekend and maybe try and keep the posts to a minimum on Saturday. Many thanks

    Sorry folks, been exceptionally busy with work this week - will have a look when I get a chance.
  25. Thanks for the info Rose Thanks Trev and no, I'm not in any particular hurry. My scope is a Kowa TS1 and itself is not the lightest - that may have to be investigated at a later date too The scope stand or tripod needs to be lights but sturdy (and capable of withstanding uneven firing points ) I will take the cover off the scope and check on the attachment it has.
