Sorry, I really screwed up.
I think it is high time I apologised for what has happened over the last few weeks as it was essentially down to my stupidity in using the same password on other forum enabling our immature hacker to mess with the TWF board.
Add to this the fact that I have been recently stuck down with a weird illness which has meant several trips to a (not so local) clinic for treatment. This illness has meant I have had hardly any free time to help with the TWF problems.
Here my thanks go out to Patrick (who spent 48 hours in front of his computer sorting the UBB move out) and Chad (who helped with all the server side work.
Anyway, TWF is back - watch out for a more comprehensive explanation in your TWF newsletter soon....
Thanks for your patience.
JP - TWF Administrator

Hang in there JP!!
You're a bit like me in that you had no reason to believe that your personal info or password would be abused like that. this has been a good lesson for all of us.
Second, we don't really know that this person administered anything, just because he knows what your password was in another forum doesn't mean he administered it (he could have been told by someone else) or even entered through a "bug" in the the other forums software, who really knows -- Don't make the mistake of believing what this person has to say -- Anyone who has this much time and jealousy/resentment on their hands is liable to say just about anything --
Stay healthy and take care,
Carolyn

Hope you get well soon JP.
It's good to see UBB back, I have taken down ********* on my site as well and switched to UBB.
Once again, get well soon and make sure you drink lots of tea.
