Upload problems

Hey guys. i have sorted everything out now and I will be changing over to a new provider this week.

The plan is to upgrade the site while this is happening which will give a better mobile view layout.

Hopefully by the end of the week we can post images up again.

So please expect the site to be off line at times while this is happening.

Good on ya Nunga - IT is difficult at best and a real PITA at worst so thanks heaps for keeping this forum going!

Thanks Nunga, it'll be good to look at some photos.

Of course we read the articles too. Embarrassed

Even something like Patreon on you tube.
Design a kiwi air gunner sticker and print it up if you dont like the idea of accepting money.
Or even better (sorry in advance gamo owners)
A sticker with a gamo target, that has heaps of shots all over the place but nowhere near the bulls with the caption underneath
Luckily my other air rifle is a weihrauch
( Or top end air rifle)
🤣🤣🤣

You're absolutely right Pauly!

It's why I went grey at 40!!! Smile

One of the reasons its so complicated is that IT solutions these days are composed of many "items" that interface (talk to each other). So, when something goes wrong (and it always does!), determining which component failed is a nightmare. And each IT specialist maintaining each item blame the other components! They pass you on to the next person saying: my component is OK, you need to talk to .....

Blah Blah Blah.... and so you go around in circles, trying to identify the problem!

This is all very well illustrated recently with the Post Office saga in UK, where the huge Fujitsu Horizons software and data base (and human management thereof) caused years of pain and grief - 4 Postmasters committed suicide because of it!!!

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_Post_Office_scandal

There's a great TV production (Mr Bates vs The Post Office) that I highly recommend you see - it's an eye opener!

I spent 36 years of my life doing this sort of crap - never again!!!! LOL

	Sorry it has taken so long. I have been super busy lately. I am in the final stages of sorting the site out. Im just waiting for replies with the new hosting provider. I am just waiting for answers on some technical questions on the migrating. With a bit of luck it will be all sorted over the new couple of days.

	Hey Nunga, how about setting up a bank account to allow donations to be made towards your running costs for the site?

	Good on you for sorting that out. I must say, that from a viewpoint of not having a clue what all those anagrams mean and IT knowledge not extending past copy and paste, it sounds very frustrating, almost designed to be over-complicated. So sorry I can't help, but thanks for sorting it out.
