I understand that ProBoards had a catastrophic disc failure and consequently lost all postings between approx 30jun10 and 27jul10 on many forums including ours. Just like BP, they had suspended taking backups because these were slowing the system down! The lesson in both cases is that safety and reliability is more important than speed. Unfortunately there is no way in which I can make my own backups. For more details visit support.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=support&action=display&thread=363914&page=6Apologies to all readers and, especially, contributors. I would encourage you to post a precis of your missing questions and answers if you can remember them. |

WONDERFUL NEWS - jaybee had a brainwave and googled the archives and found most of the missing posts. We have saved them and have NOW made them available at www.acumenbooks.co.uk/attach/Proboards1007.htm Please do NOT click any of the links left therein as this could be disastrous - I will remove them all shortly. Unfortunately you can only read them and not interact. If you do wish to revisit any of the topics, please copy and paste a precis back into the main board. |

The missing postings from July can be found at www.acumenbooks.co.uk/attach/Proboards1007.htm I gather there has recently been a problem in accessing that archive but I have now rectified it. Apologies for any inconvenience. PLEASE DO NOT TRY TO NAVIGATE DEEPER THROUGH THOSE SYSTEM LINKS. |

There has been another disc failure at Proboards.
As a consequence, all postings between 24jan11 and 06feb11 have been lost.
Please repost as necessary.
The only missing one I can recall is Swerveman saying that Amazon were offering to pre-order Tom Smiths at £16.99 with an expected date of 23jun11. This has subsequently been amended to £18.99.
Acumen has spoken to publishers who confirm RRP of £18.99 but hope for earlier availability. Acumen will honour the £16.99 price including UK p&p for all single orders received by 31mar11 with undated cheque which will not b presented until publication date achieved!
It would be helpful if associations requiring a bulk supply could place provisional orders by email to office@acumenbooks.co.uk?subject=TomSmith2010bulk, including preferred delivery address ASAP so that we can be certain of having sufficient stock to meet the initial demand.
Would anyone be prepared to pay an additional 30p for a protective plastic jacket? If there is sufficient demand, we will try to get 1,000 made (minimum order)
