Hi again Christian and Jonesy            I understood from a 'previous hiccup' that the body of data and pictures and cross indexing of part numbers that was the 'part finder' part of the UK forum was lost because passwords went with Brian , but the forum was still accessible and over-seen by one of the long standing members ,  possibly he has not become aware of the problem yet (I hope!!!!) and will be able to rectify it. - I did ask last time there was a 'blip' if it was a money thing and the answer was that takings from T-shirts and other merchandising was funding the site ... so who knows maybe the pot has run dry , I sincerely hope not. - regards Kev

The site that was lost was Brian's parts and cross reference site. Separate from the forum site.

Hi AussiXS11G       I'm not sure what's left now but you could get T-shirts , caps and patches with the XS11UK forum logo and I may be wrong but think they did a keyfob too. - regards Kev

PS To get more info you would need to PM 'The Fat Controller' on UK site.

I have contacted Miti about it, he is away at the moment and will look into it when he gets back.
I knew that Brian's site was separate and that went under quite a while ago.

Thanks kev, christian. Hopefully the site will be restored, otherwise a plethora of info and resources (members knowledge) is lost

[Christian Raith]

I'm afraid the site went with Brian, there was a problem with passwords and access I believe.

Hi Jonesy - sorry I cant shed any light on whats going on with the UK site - just as shocked as you - I believe Miti was overseeing the site since Brians passing away (still cant believe he's gone) - I know that site traffic has waned quite dramatically , winter blues and Facebook being two reasons for drop in usage - I dont have any alternate means of contact so guess I'll have to wait and see if this is a (hopefully)blip or permanent  - kind regards Kev

[Jonesy :-)]
