Hi folks. I’m getting nowhere with the problems at the original DIY COW, so I propose some small measure of preparedness here.

The phpBB DIY COW forum has been offline now for around 20 hours, which hasn’t happened before. Webhost Web-Mania seems unable to respond to support queries; their live support, advertised as 24/365 is unavailable, and their own website throws up system errors when I try to access e.g. site stats. About a month ago I contacted them with a support query and they never responded – so I’m guessing they’re either ignorant or in trouble.

The plan to move DIY COW here may therefore be forced upon us sooner than intended; please spread the word to DIY COW regulars if you have contact with them. Thanks.

From August 2011 (or earlier if enough people say that’s what they want) the DIY COW forum currently hosted at UKPuzzle will move here. WordPress formatting options are scant when it comes to posting replies, so there will be some tweaking to do; your suggestions are welcome.
