Have tried looking for the forum for the last couple of days, just to get a screen saying nothing known on this URL
What was the problem or was it just me?
I missed you all!
Cheers
Ian

Communication I received from Martin Rothman.
Hi,
One of your hosted sites is down.
It appears that someone has messed with:
www.triumphtr7.com
The site is down, as is the associated forum:

I got a screen asking for a user name and password - none of which was relevant. Anyway, welcome back forum!

Ditto!
Thought it might just be this side of the world playing up - must have been that volcano!
(but I did check with Beans via the 'other' forum and found he was having problems as well!)

I was getting ready to put my car up for sale. Figured I couldn't operate without the forum.

I too got the name and password window from hosting.xp (I think it's a Russian site). I thought the site was hijacked. Glad I can get my "fix" now...thought I was going to have to go out on the streets to score some Coke.[:p]

So glad the forum is back up [:)].
Life just hasn't been the same the last couple of days [:(].
Isn't it funny how we miss things when they have gone [:D].

I still can't get in from my desktop shortcut. I got in now by Goggling TR7 and using that link. My shortcut asks for a login but doesn't work...says I'm not authorizeds. Glad it's a problem with the site. I was beginning to think my deodorant had failed[:D]

Hooray, glad to be back, had to spend the last two evenings talking to the wife!! [:D]. Only joking, spent yesterday evening putting the gearbox back in the 8, only took an hour, so there's always a silver lining. [:)]

Yes, but what caused this nightmare? I put off a new article on overhauling bellows type fuel pumps because of it.
