Morning


This site went down this morning at 3am until 8.30, I'm not sure why but it is a reminder that the forum needs a major upgrade.


This year we may have to move to new software, which would mean a different look and feel (hurrah! some of you say), you'll have to change your passwords but you'll get better features.


The forum is independent, we don't monitor your every move and then target you. We don't track your messages, friends, emotions and then use that to sell you stuff. Aside from the adverts on the side, everything here is written by you.


So just a warning that the software it runs on will hopefully change this year, which might be a little bit of pain for a lot of gain. 15 years without a major change isn't bad.


We're currently looking at using PHPBB3 as the new software if you know any PHPBB? expert please send them my way. If anyone has any other suggestions for forum software please let me know.


Have a lovely day.

Agreed. It was a pity a lot of threads disappeared last time, though understandable.


And it would be great to have some warning if our PMs are going to disappear!

All threads will be kept if I have my way. I'm not aware of a previous time where lots of threads disappeared.


And yes, old Private Messages might have to go as they're tricky to migrate, so you will get plenty of warning if that has to happen.

    • You'd need to get a proper quote (or three) for instance removing a cast iron bath is a very different job from removing an acrylic one. Again what pipe work will be being joined into - matching old imperial pipes with modern metric ones is different from like to like, as is dealing with a copper or an iron distribution system. The amount (area) of retiling required is an issue, as will be the state of the wall behind the tiles. It may of course all be very plain sailing, or not. Have a first look at plumber recommendations on the relevant pages on this site. If it's all easy then 3 days work may be sufficient. But it could be a week if there are snags. 
    • Hi. Can anyone suggest a plumber for the job below? Replace bath tub with a shower enclosure, putting pipes to showerhead behind wall, re-titling damaged/removed tiles Also any idea of the costs involved for the labour as we will buy the items required?
    • Aria came round to fix my tub drain when I'd messed up the seal. Came within hours, fixed the tub, and ran a bath to make sure it was okay. Here's where the fun starts. While he was over, I asked him questions about the rest of the plumbing round the house. I had just moved into a Victorian home that was previously being rented. Unsurprisingly, we found another leak in the tub and a drip in the kitchen tap.  He came back the next day to put a better pipe in my bathtub and replace the kitchen sink. Painstakingly figured out how to replace the hard-to-access kitchen sink without cutting through the wood panel with the help of his builder friend, Mark. Answered all my questions and clearly knew his stuff. All this right before Christmas holidays!
