Sorry about the problems, over the last while I have tried to solve the problems and get our message board history back, so far I don't know how, and my requests for assistance have got me nowhere - if you or someone you know might be able to help - please contact me, otherwise we are stuck with things as they are.
Do you know who is managing the server from a technical point of view? The database holding the messages has probably grown a bit to big, which slows down the system and makes it time out. If we purge the messages older than 3 months it will probably help a great deal. If you get me in touch with the technical person I can probably arrange that.
