OK - two questions:

1. Darren, do you have enough to get the new disks yet? If not, how much short are you?
2. What is all that stuff about the Lantern festival all about? It seems to be across a few replies - but it's confused me.

Whilst the response has been excellent thus far (many thanks to all who have donated !! Smiley ), I'm still shy by around fifty quid (pounds) or so. If the current level of additional donations continue, we should be good-to-go soon.

As usual, I'll update as and when progress is made. Cool

A Spammer that slipped through the net, I'm afraid. Fortunately, these are few and far between although several attempts at creating false accounts on the forum are made every day.

Anyway, I've changed the Master Encryption Key (which generates the sequence of characters in the validation image) and updated the colour / CAPTCHA settings.

Apologies, continue to enjoy. Cool

No worries, mate.

Lets just leave it as an esoteric side-step within this thread ... Wink

Folks,

Just to provide an update on this - I'm now the proud owner of two Seagate SATA RAID drives. These will be up-and-running in the very near future, however, this will coincide with SAM's annual service (giving all of the fans a good clean, re-installing the O/S and SAM software, upgrading the SQL software etc. etc.). I've also bought an extra 1 GB of RAM which will support future expansion and use of the software that's used and keep SAM 'ahead of the game'.

Anyway, many, many thanks to all that have chipped-in and helped support this 'mini campaign' - it's really appreciated.

I'll update again as the installation of the new hard drives and SAM's service will involve some brief down-time and I wouldn't want anybody to panic ...

Thanks again.

Darran

People,

This has now been done. Please read here for further information.

Many, many thanks to all who have contributed financially towards the cost of the two new RAID Hard Drives.
