We should have moved to a brand new, ultra-powerful, state of the art server. For us Villa fans it always seems as if ad-free, super fast browsing of the forum will come with the next server move, and who's to say it will be any easier to achieve then than now? Really feels like a missed opportunity. :(

You need to change your Theme to GM in your profile.

There is a little button in the form of a plus sign top right of the screen. Click it and it should open the sidebar and Martin's scrolling message.

Hi is this the IT support sectionfor H and V?
Hello, So some of my posts made today have vanished, possibly due to server changes. As I don't think I broke any rules though someone could be reporting me maliciously even though I haven't done anything untoward
Also, the pre-match Man City thread was there and then vanished, but I logged in again and it reappeared.
Same with My Coutinho comments.

Is this best course of action that we refrain from posting until everything is resolved?
As I don't want to confuse be more confused I'm going to wait if that is indeed the issue with my posts today.
Is that what is advised. 

The thread seems to read well when logged out.
Thank you for the maintenence work and understand maybe there are ongoing situations.

Regards.

Nothing has been deleted, some may have been lost in the move but not many if any at all.

You may need to ensure you are viewing the site on the new server (clear any cache/links and start again). If you can see a ticker running along the top of the screen, you are still viewing the old server.
