Kiwi Express - the very worst courier, avoid!
3 July 2026From time to time I deliver sage warnings about things to avoid.
This is usually in the form of highlighting scams such as the "run your car on water" nonsense that proliferated a decade or two ago. Sometimes however, I highlight a product or service that really doesn't perform "as advertised".
Today is a case of the latter.
Allow me to recount my experiences of the past week.
Forums are Down
Damn, why is it so hard to keep any reliable forum capability going these days?
I'll be working to get the forums up again but it seems that it might not be a simple task. The hosting company has obviously changed something but now it's up to me to try and get PHPBB working with their new configuration :-/
