We now have lovely Nell, a new Office Manager here at HOP HQ.
Nell has made an Introduction thread and will be working hard to keep HOP functioning smoothly and answering any questions you may have.
She has joined the team because George has moved on to better things selling airport bits and bobs. Like Radars, ATC etc...
We thank George for all the service he has given us over the past two years. And wish him well in his new vocation
.We also have been working on a new server in which we will be running PHP5. This current bulletin board is 6years old and will not run on PHP5 so we have been busily converting everything over to the new version of the forum software.
I had thought it would only take a couple days, however the new forum software is sooooo different in the way it handles logging in and tracking that we have had to convert every other part of the site to be able to talk to, track and update the user tables.
We have now been working on it for 6 weeks, with the help of Carl our professional programmer.
Basically, and hopefully, the site will not look too much different and it should function as per normal.
The forum software has a number of extra functions plus we have transferred across many of our own hacks.
Although we are testing as much as possible we may still miss some errors. We would appreciate you letting us know after the change.
Hopefully we only have another week of coding and fixing and then we will be able to transfer all the live data across to the new server.
Due to the massive size of the databases we need to transfer, HOP will be down for about 8 hours
During that time we will have a simple one page website saying that the transfer is under progress.
We appreciate your patience as we undergo these changes.
Kindest regards
Malcolm

Carpal '/Tunnel for example.
Also, was going to ask that easily visible post counts went away, which they have.

Not for me. Very very slow when not crashing my browser. Although i am connecting at work on IE 6.0. Might try at home.
Oh, and previewing posts seems a little iffy.

if you find that a site has recently changed alot, sometimes the copy of the old copy that's left in you browser (to speed up loading times) conflicts with the new stuff. To flush the old stuff, try refreshing HoP pages with the [CTRL] + [F5] keys and deleting your old cookies from the Browser Options menu.

Written by: Doc Lightning talking about Marmite in Kichi's Intro thread
I have several large jars of the stuff. I actually like it... a little. And don't tell anyone I admitted to it.
1) Their intro page
2) Their gallery
3) A nuclear-powered Nutella cannon
?
1. I managed to get the intro page link to show.
2. Gallery link is being a pain as it has to connect to another database which confuses other queries. Carl will be back in another week so I will get him to look at it then, along with other stuff I am having trouble with.
3. Nuclear power is not allowed in New Zealand, however we could host it in your living room and hook up a video and control link controlled via the internet by all global Hoppers
