I have spoken to EC and brought to his attention the intention of this forum. I do not want to make this a "UK" only forum, although it is prodominently at the moment, as the point is to establish a community worldwide. We want to know of international competitions and how others train etc. Let's leave it at that!

People, please ensure that you are up todate with your Antivirus software as the MyDoom virus hit the meanstream Internet on Monday and within the first 45mins had infected approx 40,000 machines. I've had 8 infected emails today (which have been caught and deleted). Be careful. http://securityresponse.symantec.com/avcen...ovarg.a@mm.html

The forum has been upgraded by 2 revisions. I haven't had time of late to keep the forum up to date with the most current version but there were some significant security flaws which have now been addressed. The calendar functionality has been improved along with a few other things - enjoy! Any issues, then please email me forum-admin@stirton.com or report them in the Bugs forum. Thanks Neil

Can I please ask that if you set autoresponders on your email accounts when you are away that you change your Email Settings in "My Controls" so that all email notifications are *off* (such as PM notifications), so that I do not receive lots of emails from your responder. Many thanks, Neil

Not a problem and welcome aboard.

I want to wish you all a very happy New Year and all the best with your shooting in 2004. May you achieve all your goals and win all those gold medals.

I just want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas.

Please refer to this post... http://forum.stirton.com/index.php?act=ST&f=19&t=97

I used to have one, and an A3000 and best of all the Acorn Risc PC - some machine I've got hundreds of 'Archive' and 'RISC' magazines which will help you to program etc on the Acorn Hope it goes to a good home.

Apologies folks, but the datacentre had to perform an emergency swap out of vital routing components, hence the downtime. Thanks Neil

If your clock is displaying an hour out, then click on "My Controls" and under "Options" (on the lhs) click on "Board Settings" and untick the Daylight Saving Option and save your changes.

This is something I have thought about and will look into.

Obviously you are and it is a proper stand, just highlighting Ken's suggestion of a cheaper version for those who can't afford the real deal

Well get the proper thing then if they *want* to pay

Or heed Ken's advice and go for the cheap lights

Terry, out of the two legs, it's the one that sits on top of the other where the nut is. Makes sense doesn't it

LOL, now you are asking Terry. I'm away up to the club to do some training so I will have a look and let you know later on - thanks. Neil

Currently I have the 'baby' Tucker scope stand but the leg is away to break off. It's been 'bonded' but it is only going to last so long, plus there is not really enough ground clearance when shooting on uneven firing points. I'm after either the bigger version of the Tucker stand or similar. Let me know if you have one or know someone who has - I'd appreciate it. Many thanks Neil

I've now reverted the forum back to the usual http://forum.stirton.com as I believe everyone should now be looking at the new server...

Thanks

Less 'hops' to the datacentre (about half) from most UK ISPs combined with the faster server makes all the difference

The server move went ahead smoothly in no time but the update to the global DNS records will take 24 hours. At the moment if you go to http://forum.stirton.com you will be taken to the direct IP address - this is to try and prevent you posting on the old server and then losing posts when the DNS (global domain name server) records update. When I'm convinced the records are updated it will appear as http://forum.stirton.com again I also hope you notice the speed increase Faster server overall and less time to connect to it (almost half the time for me) than the old server. :D

Hello everyone, We (Ikiji) are moving to a new datacentre with improved response times and 24 hour technicians. The server move is planned for later on today and will hopefully be seemless Please keep a copy of any posts you make in Notepad/Wordpad just incase you need to post them again if the new posts are not reflected on the new server. Many thanks Neil

Last nights downtime was caused by some nasty people performing what is known as a DoS (Denial of Service) attack against the data centre where the servers are. This is basically an orchestrated attack where lots of computers are used to send massive amounts of "rubish' data towards the datacentre, thus remdering the centre pretty much useless and unable to serve our web pages Even worse is, it is very difficult to do anything to stop this from happening. Anyway, it's back in operation now and I can only apologise for the disruption. Regards, Neil

Don't worry Peter, if I do decide to keep them then it would likely be the Asus that I go for. I was hoping that they might come out with an improved bus speed, AGP, etc, version soon
