Hi Sibyl. Thanks for the reply but when I try those links you gave me I get the following message...................

Good morning Sibyl, long time no speak. I hope you're keeping fine. Yep, unfortunately my club is breaking up due to lack of use by the members. Seems like nobody does anything during the day worth talking about and everybody is waiting for everybody else to post. I've got to the point now where I haven't got the heart and enthusiasm to run the club anymore, and seems like no one else wants to do it either, so I'm going to be shutting it done. I thought I'd read somewhere that to shut down a forum you just had to put it into "maintainence mode" and at some point after a certain amount of time, SMF would remove the site. That's why I was asking. Thanks for your reply.

Cheers for that Arekay, interesting reading. I've decided to go with the watermark option cos I know how frustrating it is to sit there and try and remove it. See below

What the hell this time!!

This is getting just too frequent! I don't think we've managed to go a month on the run without some sort of "connection issue", or "hardware issue". When are these problems going to get sorted out once and for all?

Thank you for the tip.  Silly question now is, will I be able to see how has deleted the post?

Thanks again!

Do like he said above, then register yourself as a new member called ADMIN, GRASSHOPPER, MONKEY, whatever you want, then log in under the new ID, and delete a post (which will now go to the new board for admins eyes only). Log back in as your normal self and see what info turns up in the new board (which you will be able to see because you are admin).

I can't assure anything. We moved to the new servers  in June due to network connection issues otherwise I would have stayed there. I can try my best but it is tough without any other resources to manage it all.

Hey, don't get me wrong SMF, I don't blame you for in any way for the down time issues, in fact I admire the speed in which you resolve problems on here. I was merely pointing out that we seem to have more down time with the new servers than the old ones. I also fully understand the problem of not having funding to be able to do more. As admin on my site, I continuously seem to be delving into my pocket for one thing or another, ie ad removal credits, dynamic banner etc, and then of course there's all the time involved adding widgets and playing around with Ezportal, none of which the other members can do or would want to do.
You just keep up the good work that you're doing SMF, cos I for one appreciate it, and maybe one day the servers will get the hardware or what ever it is right. My appreciations also extend to the helpers out there, especially that little gem Sibyl
