Website status - update2

Looks like everything is back for now.

No explanations have been forthcoming and this is the second time within two months that it has happened, which does not leave me full of confidence in them.

I have been tweaking the blog a bit as there is an option to add extra "pages" to make it more website like - so that it can be more of a standalone thingy (technical term here, you understand) in the absence of the complete site. The module that puts the links to the pages on the blog doesn't seem very customisable, and the were too dark to show up on the dark background, so I have changed to a lighter one.

This time I really will look harder about getting the whole lot properly hosted independent of my ISP and also find myself a cheaper ISP that doesn't give me this grief.

Website status - update1

Well it only took me 40 minutes on the phone this morning to get through to someone.

Apparently deleting all of a customer's files is not a "customer service" issue!

The nice man assures me that no one has gone in and deleted all my files, but aside from a disk failure or another systemy type thing which they should notify customers and tech folk alike about there are a very limited number of reasons for this.

I have had more trouble in the few months since TalkTalk took over Pipex, than in the several years prior to that - and that was despite the fact that Pipex erroneously had me down as a business customer which meant that the one occasion I did have an issue I had a massive game of phone tag as the business side was the only side of the company that could see my account, and they tried to pass me over to residential the moment I identified myself - and when I got there residential swore blind that they were not my ISP despite the fact that I was currently connected to their servers.

Time for a new ISP and a proper host for the website...

Website status - again

Looks like my ISP has deleted all my files - ie our website - again! *Is not happy*


I'll give them till the morning then nag tech support, but now that talktalk has taken over my original ISP I don't think they want my business anymore so it's probably time to move to someone much cheaper like PlusNet.

Filling in a CTT Entry Form

Click to enlarge image - hopefully each section is explained!

Edit: I know the text could be clearer on the image, but I figured it's better to have this available as is rather than keep fiddling until it's perfect! I will turn it into a web page on the website soon, with the text written out as text as well as on the image.

Cheques should be made payable to the promoting club or organisation, unless it says different in the event entry in the handbook. (ie for the KPRC 10 cheques to the "Kingston Phoenix Road Club" or for the SCCU 25 to "Southern Counties Cycling Union" or "SCCU".)

Closing date for a weekend event is 6pm on the Tuesday approx 10 days prior to the event. Your cheque and form should be in the hands of the organiser by this time to be sure of being considered for the event. If an event is not full an organiser may choose to accept forms that arrive after this time, but if the event is full or it's not convenient then s/he won't. If an event is oversubscribed, unless there are special conditions, the fastest 120 riders will be accepted and then up to 15 riders who ticked yes to being a reserve - most of whom are likely to get to ride in the event and will be notified at least 24 hours before that they have a slot.
