Hi Richard

The new forum looks good to me. I tried the link to the old LBB forum and it worked OK.

The link should work and browsing the old forum snapshot should work, but the search facility won't work properly until Google has crawled it. It may be a few days before it gets around to doing that.

I have - I did it immediately, not least because the Google Custom Search instructions tell you to! - but it can still take a while before it actually gets around to crawling it. At the new BBC BASIC forum it was about two or three days before full-search results started to appear.

I'm keeping my fingers well and truly crossed that choosing to host the forum (and the wiki) on a 'private', albeit shared, server doesn't prove to be a mistake. Being permanently free of advertising - and not having to go cap-in-hand to members for donations - is a big attraction. And experience with Conforums shows that going with a huge commercial provider is no guarantee of continuity. But reliability will be critical to its success.
