So our old web host hardware died a death on us and I wasn't sure at the time that it was worth bringing the old forums back to life.

But I've had so many requests and questions about it - that I decided to go ahead and restore it all.

If you find any discrepancies please let me know

Sadly not when hosting on a multi-site windows platform...

Re https - why do you want it?

If we could get everybody to post 1 new topic and get 1 other person to post 1 new topic every month, it really wouldn't take much to get things revitalised.

These things are self-fulfilling, get a few active people and suddenly the whole thing takes off.

The lack of new posts is dis-heartening, but there is a genuine set of daily views which is way more than just webcrawlers and the sponsors are still getting valid links from the site too. I don't think facebook groups provide the same function but I don't know if forums are live anymore or not in g...

Thanks

OOps, my fault, I'd meant to Disaprove and must have hit the approve by mistake

All gone now, let me know if you see anymore

Is this happening when you switch between devices?

Or, is it with an extended stay on one device?

Hi there, You can reduce the file size to something smaller using a number of software tools, depends where the picture came from you may have somethign on your phone, with your camera.

Yes, we have a view of it being all a bit free-wheeling and look after number 1, where as the truth is a long way from that.

The tithing thing is very interesting - do you know when that died out?

There's always "Mad" Jack Greene of course.

With a 1,000 views on each post they are being widely read.

It is not uncommon for people not to comment on posts like these. Don't know why it is just a thing. But the view count is very good and says the posts are worthwhile.

It is true that a lot of read interesting posts but have nothing to add to them. It does feel sometimes like you are shouting into the wind because you get no response even though hundreds may have read the post. I might look at some kind of "read by" counter or similar. I also like the idea of a "l...

Love these "old" photos. YOu are right , using appropriate equipment goes a lng way/.

I did not know England was so relatively civilised even going back that far. You know LivingHistory is still relevant even today.

Understand = still would be useful if you could spread the word though - new faces are just as welcome as old ones.

Good call.

As well as advertising here you should always have a trawl round local events listings sites too.

We sort of speak to the re-enactors audience here, which are usually more happy to travel good distances as well.

I wood, but I know I wouldn't use it either - better to go to someone who will use it;

I'll see what my missus does... Can't remember her insurers name

OK, so the email defintely does have the links in it.

What email client do you read your email in?

If you click on the links even if they do not show up as links, do they work anyway?

Just as a matter of interest, the notifications I am getting from this forum on my emails have no active links. I have to copy the link & put it in a search engine! Any chance of fixing that please? They are sent with live and active links - think this might be a problem at your end - can you put u...

It is always so difficult getting the line between: (a) appearing authentic, (b) being authentic and (c) being able to talk to the general public

Thanks for those, I'll try and get something done with them - unless someone else would like to have a go (please!!!!)

I'm not the best person for this sort of thing.

Someone on here - please put together some that work for us all

Sorry Henry

Trying to decode the mailing list has been tricky. So I've probably over mailed

In my diary too
