Well Done Kevloaf
For sorting out our IT issues on Fat Jockey.

That period of slow-running and downtime since New Year should certainly ram home what the website means to us, its Members.....

and how sorely its missed when its not there and we can't share what we want to say to each other.

Welcome Back FJ :cheerful:

Ah good FJ forum back and flying!
 
Praise the Lord! Sweating, chills, shakes, the heap, give me my fix!

On a serious note, thanks to Kev and everyone else involved getting it up and running again.
 
Don't want to sound like a sycophant (also I posted "we're back" and then the site completely collapsed) but it's absolutely purring isn't it
 
Does anyone know what happens if a bookie has spelt a horse wrong? Can they void that at all?

Sa Majeste and Sa Mageste for example , Hills would find it hard to cancel that as there isn't a horse called Sa Mageste but only one letter away g instead of j , just poor spelling on their behalf

Which is exactly the reason why I'm querying it :glee:
 
I'd given in checking back here. What a pleasant surprise. Thank you Kev for sorting it out. I didn't realise how much I rely on the place as therapy!
 
Don’t know how much it cost to fix the problem Kev but I imagine it didn’t come cheap.

Just wondering if now would be a good time for anyone who can to chip in with a donation towards the running costs.

The virtual shut-down certainly made me realise how much I value the forum and how much it adds to our enjoyment (and knowledge) of the sport.

Far better value than buying the RP every day imo - and it’s absolutely free.

What are your thoughts Kev - should those of us who can afford it be thinking of dipping into our pocket to help bolster the FJ finances?

Ah thanks NC200, bless you

:cower: 4 figures in total :boxing: might surprise some!



The thanks I'm getting really should be to the people who are patrons and make donations that put us in the fortunate position to keep the place going (and thanks for yours earlier!)

if anyone did want to donate anything the link is here:

Yes but it’s your time and effort needed to get it fixed and as you can see from all the comments we are very grateful. Many thanks Kev
