Welcome back everyone :)

First of we apologise for the downtime, unfortunately the recent security breaches made us bump forward our planned upgrade. We did encounter a few problems converting the old board hence the time it took.

We are currently running on a reduced service as we felt it better to provide the basic forums as soon as possible, rather than make everybody wait for all the other components to be completed.

Hopefully we should have everything back up and running in the next few days and we ask everyone to bear with us during this time.

Regards
The UR.com Team :)

Great to see UR back - it was like losing an leg - made me hopping mad.:)

Thanks to those who put a lot of time and effort into sorting it out!

(Don't like the new smileys though :rolleyes: ;) ).

Hey guys!!

Welcome back.

Just want to point out that we are running reduced service still, namely the uploader and photo type stuff. We are still working on it though.

If yuou've noticed anything change on your account, please check you own account options first, in the user cp (find it on the nav bar above), then if there is still probs get in touch.

Enjoy - it's great to have you back!

Been reading Reef Park for the time UR was down but its not the same!

Even when UR was up I would have a quick look over there but never post, weird don't know why but to me UR is way in front of the others.

Nice to see you again Mikey, and everyone else, I sometimes used to sit and just watch ReefPark, that place is like watching paint dry.

I had to do some more plasterboarding whilst UR was down, as I didnt have an excuse :) :)

Anyway, does the above explain why there are no images in my tank thread in Members Specs??


Cheers Matt

I think it is matey, and we are sorry about that - doing us best to sort that... I would advise people to host on the internet (photobucket etc)for the time being if they want to show pics.

Mikey

I want to thank RP and all the guys over there for letting us provide updates as to the situation.

It gave all our members a place to keep in touch and also keep the passion for the hobby going. We appreciate that very much.

I want all of you to remember that it is the diversity among the boards and the members that make this hobby so interesting and enjoyable at times. Some people are UR freaks, some love RP other on RH or RUK, ALL the BB's contribute to this community, and UR appreciates that.

Just noticed my birthday in my profile is listed as 1st November and is in fact 11th January. Not a concern in itself but if this conversion has happened to this date are there any others it may have affected?

Cheers

John

PS: Still glad to be back!!

Didn't think I'd miss UR as much as I did - its great to be back..

Well done to the Admin and Mod team for getting this sorted.

I'm not sure about the smilies, but do like the general look and feel of this BB - particularly like the way you can hover over the posts to get the gist of the content, nice touch.

Anyway, welcome back one and all

PS A big thanks to ReefPark for being our temporary home over the last week or so - not as active as UR, but still a nice bunch of people and will certainly continue to visit....

Glad the site is back, really missed it for the past week. :eek: Great work and looking good, thanks for all the hardwork put into this. The past week has shown how much we all rely on this site and some of us do not fully appreciate the work you guys put in to keep it running.:)

Thanks again

Great to see things getting back to normal.

As someone who develops & hosts web applications for a living, I know how upgrades never go to plan, especially with the pressure of 100's of users waiting to get access.

Thanks to the admin team for all their hard work in getting things back up and running.

Ye gods, this is a relief! I thought at first it was my computer on the blink - not for the first time.
Spent some time on a couple of American sites - very welcoming, worthy but dull: no-one can insult you quite like a UR poster :D .

Well done the lads on getting it up & running and looking good.

Thank all for the kind words, and again I'd like to echo those who thanked RP.

Their hospitality for UR members, and to the UR mods is very much appreciated. Both BB's contribute greatly to the community, and we now have in motion the beginings of a great working relationship, which can only make things better for the users of both BBs.

Glad to see UR back up and running the internet and the world of reef keeping has been a real boring place without it:) :) :) :)

Welcome back

glad to be back home.

didn't get much time on RP but thank them all the same as through word of mouth from other members on there i was able to be aware of what was going on.

quite an eye opener tho' searching the reefing world. didn't realise how many of our regular members are omnipitent across the net. some of you guys clearly have far too much time on your hands.

Found Nemo, what now?
20-02-06, 11:49
What did I miss?

My broadband router died around the same time UR went down, so I REALLY missed it! lol

Looks great, just need to figure out how to get the text and icon sizes down a bit (or get a bigger monitor! ;)
