Can I suggest that the forum is taken down until such time as all modifications have been completed and thoroughly tested. It should make things easier overall.

The Northeast England Subforums could now quite easily be reduced to just RAF Leeming with possibly the addition of Teesside Airport for its use by Draken for their Falcon operations ?
Maybe combine the North East with North West as North England
with Leeming & Warton as the only bases of interest

Certainly no need for Woodford anymore as it no longer exists as an airfield (its a housing estate) with a small museum at one end
if retaining North West then Warton , Blackpool, Woodvale/Altcar Camp and Manchester-Barton (gets more visitors than some military airfields some weeks)

North East and West have now been merged into a Northern England section. I will removed the forum bases into a archived section.

The 'New serial tie up area' seems to have gone AWOL.

Gary, I've mentioned this to you before, but how do members that have locked themselves out of their accounts get in touch with an active member of Admin to reactivate their account/reset password etc.?
I've noticed loads of active members having new accounts created over the years when it's not been necessary, has any member of staff ever been given access to the Admin email account that is connected to the 'Contact Us' link at the bottom of every page?
Can I ask if Admin have had any joy with resolving this please? :)

Not as far as I’m aware, Mike. In fact that’s the first I’ve personally heard about the admin email account!

Finally got around to looking at the whole forum, the US section has been overhauled. All subsections have been removed. The European section will be next.

I'm also going through the entire membership and deleting any dormant account. Currently deleting anyone who signed up and have never logged in :lol: It's a long slow process

I started to try and do the dormant account purge but as you say - it's a long and slow process! I don't envy you :lol:

You can get mods for phpBB that'll do it for you!

Edit: phpBB apparently has it built in now: https://www.inmotionhosting.com/support ... ers%20link.

It crashed when trying to prune the forum using the built in function. Comes up with a 500 error.

Working through July 2012, a lot of people seemed to sign up in May to July. Could be the Olympic Guardian / Queen Diamond Jubilee effect

Don't forget the usual influx of members for RIAT every year during those months!
