I'm not sure what happened to it but its not there for me either.

You can always send people to http://portforward.com/ for router help, it covers (almost) every router available.

grrrr? quit growling and sign in next time like a good little bitch.....

i did sign in... but your f**k forum crashed the browser AGAIN... lol

all of my home computers do it, all of the college computers i've used do it, and quite a few people i've mentioned it to say theirs do it as well... remove the fade crap, thats what causes it most of the time...

but that is slightly off topic... lol

Normally if a site shutd down then tough shit, but i think that MX Central is such an important site with all the info it has tha it worth at the very least getting parts of it accessable again... oh well, when i get home i'll start copy/pasting from the archives on to my web server somewhere... :-D

Thank you all very much .
I was able to help out a visitor to the room using the info here , and I pass on their thank also.

btw, i had a look at recovering it from the archives... but there are no images, which are a large part of the info... oh well, if anyone else wants to give it a go i'm sure plenty of people want it...

Think that crashing & fading problem only happens with IE .. I use Firefox & have never seen any of it (no ads either even tho I allow normal cookies & pop-ups here

i have to use firefox for the forum at home, but for some reason the college network admins keep wiping the systems there all the time so as soon as i install firefox they sipe the system... be easier for vladd to just remove it

most of the images are still on the sites french mirror, which is still up and running.

damn frogs... :-P

well, i did give it a go but gave up, ands its unlikely i'll be bothered to do it now... anyone else?

by **Canada Joe** on Thu Nov 18, 2004 10:28 am

I saved a lot of them

by **lazy coaldust** on Sat Nov 20, 2004 8:25 am

I think there is enough of the site left to recompile using images from the other language forums and test from the archives but who is gonna mirror it ?
Does anyone know the original site owner and if so could he give his permission before ppl "borrow " his site ?
I know silly questions but I feel like I lost an old friend

by **Vladd44** on Sat Nov 20, 2004 4:04 pm

i have his email address somwhere. will try to locate and see if its ok, or if he plans on returning

by KM on Sat Nov 20, 2004 8:28 pm

well, i assume that his account with NTL has been deleted... otherwise you could simply email him on that account... heh
