I still have no idea what happened to the forums, but essentially I ended up doing a clean install in a new place and moving it across.
Got a few things to tidy up to make it look right but it does seem to be working again now!
Please use this thread to point out any residual bits I may have missed. And WELCOME BACK!

Well done VV, normality has resumed.
I had resorted to reading a book in my lunch breaks
-
Woohoo.
Welcome back and good work to get back up and running.
Thanks.
-
I cannot imagine it WAS fun. I have had to restore way too many WordPress sites. I can see you have some work yet, so I am going to engage silent mode on my fingers and let you get on with it.
-
Thank you for everything you do to keep the site running VV!

I'm probably going to forget the wordpress section of the site and just keep it as forums. Apparently the two packages often conflict and we were lucky to get away with it as long as we did. And as I haven't written an article for ages it wasn't really serving any purpose.
-
Thanks VV. Good to have it back.
-
So glad that we're back up and running. Thanks for all the work you put in VV.
-
So - the website has risen from the ashes. Would that we had a rugby club that could do the same! Thanks, VV.
-
VV - thanks for rescuing the site - I prob rely upon it being there a bit too much - but none the less - it's great to see everyone!
-
Well done VV, if I had a hat I'd raise it to you. Losing both the club and this forum would have been calamitous.
-
I genuinely didn't realise how much this place had become part of my life.
I genuinely found myself picking up my phone to check the forums while working on my PC to mend them! It seems my subconscious mind loves this place...
-
Thanks VV.
Good to be back!
Has anything happened while we were away? :)
-
Good work VV was feeling lost or more accurately thought I'd lost the plot!
-
Well done VV, I know haw difficult it can be debugging your own sites some time after they were written, it must be really difficult with someone else's code.
-
Well done VV really missed this site rely on it for updates from fellow Waspies.
-
Good to see everybody back

I tapped on a thread titled 'Well that was fun' and seemed to be invited to connect to several young ladies from Ukraine waiting for me to connect.
I am sure it would have been fun.

You are not the only one!!

Thanks VV.......it was really a case that you don't know what you would miss until that suddenly happens. We all really appreciate your efforts!

All I ever get is paddleboards and camera equipment!
-
Just to add my thanks / congratulations on resurrecting the forum, VV. Well done!
Like others, I was missing my daily dose of optimism / pessimism / realism (delete as applicable).
-
Good to be back. Hopefully not too long before we can get some positive news to discuss.
-
Its nice to be back - thanks VV.

Nice to know it is not just me.
VV, I have never seen paddleboards. I have seen a lot of these Ukranian girls recently, a fair few "law changing in Wales", much ebay stuff, and some really odd stuff like solicitor and financial services, most of which appeared after we went bust. I have no idea how it works out how to target, it doesn't seem to be device specific, I get the same on my wife's phone and computer which obviously will have different search histories. SN is the same. It has sometimes given me specific stuff for regions I am not in. I am yet to see an advert relating to my actual hobbies.
-
Welcome back!
I get the invites to meet Ukranian Ladies when viewing site using Chrome (and its derivatives) but not when using Firefox.
-
I don't get any ads. I use Brave browser, both on my desktop and my Android tablet. I can recommend Brave most highly. It has a very effective ad blocker built in.
-
I?ve been using Brave since it started because of the ad and tracking tracking blocking.
That's partly why I contribute to the running of the site.
-
I get ads about office chairs as I've been googling looking for a new one.
I think these lovely Ukrainian ladies would be very let down if they were looking for fun from me!

Same on the chair. Decent ones seem to cost around a thousand. In the end I opted for a very expensive gaming chair in XL large (rugby player) size. Lovely and comfy, I must say. I am not sure I believe the hype about this chair that I see on social media, but it IS very well made and designed. Also great to fall asleep in, I have found. As opposed to an 'office' chair, this is a heavy use computer user's chair.
Same on the ladies. I have a feeling the price for me would be double normal rates, at least.

You are not the only one!!
So why am I getting ads for more mature ladies (55+). Not sure what to make of that!
Just to add my thanks for keeping this place going so we all have somewhere to go to talk rugby from a bit of a Wasps angle. More important than ever without the diversion of actual Wasps rugby.
-
Often wondered if these sites see the word 'hooker' and thus give us the adverts...

Congratulations s VV, and thank you very very much. I have missed all of you s o o much. My old laptop has nearly fallen apart (a bit like yours truly) but I got a new one for my birthday so all is well. I have really missed all the chat and info ... ..
