Over the years, we've taken steps to streamline our forums by consolidating sub-forums into broader categories, with the exception of a few specific niche areas. Generally, sub-forums tend to receive less attention, functioning much like a quiet corner of a room. While creating more sub-forums might seem appealing, it would likely reduce visibility and traffic for topics, making it less advantageous overall. The Boat Building & Maintenance forum would suit the topics mentioned. https://www.canalworld.net/forums/index.php?/forum/13-boat-building-maintenance/

Hi everyone, Due to technical issues with VNC earlier today, we've moved the entire site to a new server (Virtual Machine). This is why the site was briefly offline. We had planned to do this anyway, but brought this forward due to the issue mentioned. We're now fully operational on the new server. If you notice any issues, please let us know. Please note, we had to update the DNS settings, and it may take some time for these changes to take effect globally. A small number of users may experience temporary access issues, but this should resolve automatically. The new server (VM) has twice the amount of memory (32GB), double the amount of CPU cores (16) and faster storage. Running the site does incur ongoing costs, and Canal World is fully funded by its members. To help keep us operational for years to come, please consider making a donation here. Thank you! Rich

This should be fixed now. Should this happen again I always recommend posting a topic in this forum like you have done here - I will receive a notification on my phone as soon as you do so. On a separate note: Please kindly do not use the report post feature to report technical issues as I won’t have immediate visibility of it. Cheers

We have updated the forum software to the latest version of Invision to apply various software bug & security fixes. This is not a major update although some minor differences may be noticed. However, the overall look, feel and functionality of the site remains unchanged. Should you encounter any oddities, please first clear your browser cache and if the issue remains, do let us know.

Please may I ask that we remain respectful to the OP and his wife and refrain from potentially spreading any misinformation or false rumours. This is not helpful. Thanks.

I was just thinking - do you have any more photos? Perhaps a clear one showing the boat from the side? I can display it on our homepage.

Sorry to hear about this. I have "Featured" this topic - so that it will appear in everyone's email notification feed (for those who have subscribed) All the best
