TPF now open again

Hi all
Firstly a huge thank you to all those who contributed with donations towards keeping the forum alive. I have renewed all our hosting fees, and integrated the files into the new system, so as far as I can see, everything is working OK. There are a few little tidy-up tasks to sort in the background, which I will work on over the next few days, but this should not affect the dsily operation of the site.
Our colleague Geoff has retired from active participation in TPF, though he has said he will pop in from time to time.
Geoff has been the backbone of TPF for many years, and I know you will join me in thanking him for his unstinting support to all of us.
Unfortunately, serious illness has prevented me being active on the forum for some time, but I've now fully recovered, and hopefully we can get TPF back to full health now as well.
Will update soon/
Tom
