"Somebody" RICK accidentally deleted three of our very important tutorials, I was able to recover the text from an old backup but the only way I could get them back on the forum was to post them myself.

I take no credit for KJ SOLUTIONS excellent work.

 

I also take nothing away from Ricks excellent work, between Rick & I we spent many hours cleaning up the database recently the missing tutorials where mistakenly taken out. We have now finished our work (Thank you Rick, for your behind the scenes work) & upgraded our hosting account (see the home page article) to continue paving the way for the forums success.

I found the topics i deleted by mistake in the relevant sections and copies of them in the tutorials section hence my deleting them, dunno what went wrong with me deleting the whole lot, wasn't meant to happen

 

My apologies to the folk who took the time to originally post them

 

Rick.
