What's happening to the Clinical Waste Discussion Forum?
The site has been suffering from intermittent interruption and occasional downtime, with generally slow response times. The problems are with the server and this is being relocated. This will take some time to complete though things should settle down, and speed up, when that is complete.
The other problem is with the core file structure of the Clinical Waste Discussion Forum. As a result of persistent spam posting a crucial file has become corrupt (the Swines!).
Though the site still functions, new posts appear at the bottom of the index list instead of the top. We are checking the files several times a day and manually resetting the date stamps to make sure that new messages appear prominently and at the to of the screen, though this is only a temporary fix. To solve the problem, a new set of Forum files have been created, and are presently undergoing some reliability testing. When time permits, existing messages will be copied over to the new system and things will be back to normal.
