Unfortunately it also has a bad case of bit-rot, meaning that many of the older postings are more-or-less useless.  See, for example, https://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?topic=5161.msg50355#msg50355

That would be great, UF, but after all this time only Onions can updated the corrupted messages.  The one to which I sent the link is obviously corrupt, so if you have that archived and could send a copy to Onions he would be able to update the original.  Alternatively perhaps liaise with Yousef with a view to becoming a moderator, so that you can correct the corrupt messages yourself.  In the meantime, as soon as I spot more corrupt messages I will let you know.

Uncle, I tried to email both you and Phil when I thought the forum had completely vanished recently due to expired domain.  I used last known emails so not sure if either of you received them.  Good to see you back.  A while back I had all sorts of issues trying to log in, as you may recall.

Phil, I often look back over old threads that pop up in a particular search or when trying to go back to something I know has been discussed previously.  There are a lot of holes in many threads.  I seriously doubt anyone's ability to identify, let alone recover the lost / truncated posts.  When the site was "gone" most recently, I successfully used The Wayback Machine to view some aspects of the forum I was trying to use though, which was a relief at the time I needed access.

Good to see you again UF, and thanks for sending those recipes over, unfortunately I couldn't send a message back.

Indeed, ever since Yousuf's big clear out of spammers; I suspect he overly tightened the throttle. According to the logs, we haven't had a new registrant since 12 July 2022, and then there was some massive downtime (up to February '23). Not sure how or if these things tie together, but I find it hard to believe that none of the three events intersect. Either way, the proof of the pudding is in the dearth of members.

I wonder if admin is actually getting any notifications when new members complete registration.

Indeed. This is getting silly. Phil, I'll email you tomorrow about it. (If not tomorrow, then Sunday. We just got back tonight from a week in the east of England. Help!)
