    I'm fairness the forum was broken, not just in need of a tidy up.

    WFCForums has risen from the ashes.
    My period of newly found efficiency and effectiveness at work has come to an end.

    Can go down again tomorrow if it means we sign another 3 players while we're off the grid.

    Dear Forum Owner,

    Thanks very much for fixing what was obviously a major issue for the site in as timely a manner as was possible.

    Indeed.

    Does it mean my browser will stop complaining that the site is on an out of date platform and a security risk?

    Well mine has shut up about it so hopefully yours will pipe down too.

    Suppose it depends how bitchy it generally is. If it starts moaning about the colour scheme I'd say get rid.

    Sounds better than the Watford subreddit where someone suggest we sign Coutinho.

    Nearly as stupid as people suggesting we sign Abraham and Giroud.

    Andre will go Grey before Andre Gray goes.

    I actually downloaded the Google Chrome browser for my phone specifically to use this site. Can I uninstall now?

    I heard the build-up of negative vibes over a sustained period of time jeopardised the site and server to such an extent that it became necessary to close it down and reopen on a new clean server with the hope that negativity will not return. I somehow think that is a forlorn hope but you never know......
    A bit like the Ghostbusters River of Slime!

    I really wanted to delete that post. I don't mind... well, I do. I do mind unlikely suggestions but that was just asinine.

    I also didn't realise how often I lurked here even if I didn't post throughout the day. Everytime I'm checking through my usual haunts it would constantly catch me out.

    As others have said the forum broke. The owner worked as quickly as humanely possible to fix it. It didn’t seem a quick easy fix and certainly wasn’t maintenance

    Go Daddy was the real answer. WFC Forums had an issues with a certified signature, even though no problems persist beforehand. My thanks to the maintenance team and everyone who worked hard on getting it corrected.

    Surely .. ‘worked as quickly as humanely possible’ .. means taking all allocated comfort breaks, a tea break am, a coffee break pm, minimum 60 minutes for lunch and not working more than 2 hours overtime - all in an air conditioned environment using a union approved ergonomic supportive office chair ..?

    Humane rules is humane rules...

    Forum going down reminds of scene in Bladerunner 2049 when the weird bald librarian talks about the great blackout when all information was wiped from humanity.
