    Hi everyone :p

    Sorry about the lack of K9 over the last week but hopefully everything is back now pretty much as it was.

    I think I should explain what the problems have been...

    K9 has been hosted with a company by the name of Klooki for the past couple of years & on the whole they have provided good service. I had what is called a reseller account with them and hosted a few different web sites for a few of my customers in addition to K9 Community. Just over a week ago I asked them to add another site to my account - a day later an email came back 'Just to let you know before the official press release - we are pulling out of hosting. We are offering a few of our valued customers :D an option to move to a Windows server but will be offering no new accounts'. I emailed them back saying that I probably wouldn't want to move to a Windows server but could they let me know further details about costs etc. I heard nothing back - at which point alarm bells started to ring. Then without any further communication from them at all they just turned all their servers off :blink:

    I suppose I was better off than many who heard nothing from them at all and lost all their data - at least I had one fairly recent backup.

    Anyway, I've now rented a whole virtual server - so I have a lot more control over everything (although not the mains switch :angry: ).

    I haven't re-loaded all the uploaded pictures for the last 3 years because it was getting a little out of hand but I have re-loaded everything from the last couple of months. If you have an Avatar missing or a picture you particularly wanted let me know the details & I'll load it again from backups here.

    Please let me know if you see anything that doesn't work properly :teehee: . The down side of me having full control over everthing is there is a lot more opportunity for me to get things wrong (and have no one to help me sort it out) - that's why the Chat server isn't working at the moment... :wacko: . I'll continue to try & sort the problem out but I thought it would be better to get K9 back than worry about that for the moment.

    I heard about Klooki... terrible way to do business. Hope you have your paying customers up and running. Thank you Nigel for k9 - it is great and has been sorely missed :)

    I'm so glad it's back as it seems like Hannah's been on cold turkey since it's been off line... :wacko: ....Does Nigel perform all his computer heroics fully clothed or in his birthday suit ??....... :- " .. Hopefully the former !! ....Anyway well done to the both of you ( on your record ) but at your age you need to be more carefull what with catching chills etc.. :D .

    Problems with the chat server have been ironed out & so I think everything is back OK.

    I would have got it sorted out a day or so earlier but as some of you have noticed :p we did have a busy weekend...
