Hi all,

With Steve's blessing, I have agreed to host the Cumulus forum from Sunday 04/11/2018 onwards.

The plan is to shut down the forum at sandaysoft.com at 10:00 UTC on Sunday. The forum will be made live in the new location from 11:00 UTC on Sunday. The hour's downtime will be used to migrate the database and perform some testing.

The URL for the new location will be: https://cumulus.hosiene.co.uk/

A redirect will be created from sandaysoft.com/forum to the new location. This will ensure that links in search engine results will work.

The forum is already available in the new location. Feel free to log on and take a look and make some test posts. You will need to log on at the new location, as "remember me" settings don't get migrated. Usernames and passwords are carried across to the new location, so your existing credentials will work there. If you can't remember your password then please use the password retrieval facility on the login page. You may like to add the email address administrator@hosiene.co.uk to your email whitelist, so that forum emails aren't treated as spam/junk. The forum at the new location currently contains the content of sandaysoft.com/forum as at 29/10/2018. Note that any posts you make at the new location will be removed when the database is re-migrated on Sunday.

If there is a problem with the migration (unlikely - but you never know!) then the forum will revert back to sandaysoft.com while the problem is resolved. If this occurs then notices will be placed at both locations.

Regards,
Niall (aka freddie!)
