Site went down for a short while today. I am not sure why and hosting support did not know why either. Sorry about that.
I hope this does not happen again. It only affected this Forum and the old forum.
I could still access other parts of the site which is strange :thinking :thinking
I had not even messed with anything for a change :rofl :rofl

Had a few files misconfigured files which was making the site hang for 5-10 seconds every now and then.
This should be fixed now.
Also added the site to cloudflare.

Added Lightbox back for pictures after it broke but has now been fixed.
It saves massive pictures been loaded. It only loads the full size when you click the picture and you can navigate through more than one picture if more than one is present. :thumsup

Had a bit of a move round and tidy up.

New 'News and Help' forum added. Guests can now post in the help forum, so if you're having problems logging in I can help you.

Moved the 'Other Sports' forum so its easier to see.
