Maybe we could join forces and offer the Adver some consultancy on making their website a bit more stable.
 That's the point, is it unstable, or has it been 'withdrawn'. I just can't believe that it is the former...... |

What, you mean they've actually pulled it under pressure, but rather than admit that, they're making it look like the scripts the site runs on are a bit ropey?
Sounds a bit convoluted tbh, surely more likely the forum scripts were developed or customised inhouse some years ago, the guys who originally wrote it have left and and no-ones gone near the tangle of spaghetti code since. So when they do run into problems like this no-one knows how to fix it. Seriously, I reckon we could sort this out for them in a couple of hours - for a few grand in consultancy fees, natch.

Don't mean that they're making it look like the scripts the site runs on are a bit ropey but am simply querying why the site is not working and whether or not this is in fact down to maintenance problems, or whether the forum has been withdrawn.....and if so, why? Got any contacts at the adver?!! My background is in SQL Server/ASP development, though have not had much experience of administering a pre-written forum! Would seem stange to me how a professional entity like the adver would run a SQL/ASP web site, without in-house support - would you not agree? At the very least, without in-house support, you'd expect them to be outsourcing the support? Perhaps someone is looking at it as we speak - the error message on the bottom of the home page has gone and the error message when you click on the forum link has changed so who knows?  |

Heh, if their security's as ropey as their scripts, maybe we could hack in and fix it for them?  |

There are only 10 types of people in this world. Those that understand binary, and those that don't. (one for the Geeks there) |

You don't understand binary? It's quite simple. The binary numeral system, or base-2 number system, is a numeral system that represents numeric values using two symbols, usually 0 and 1. More specifically, the usual base-2 system is a positional notation with a radix of 2 Basics really....  |
