Whats up with Brad's Matchbox Collectors Forum?

I got the change of address and was able to see the site a couple of times. However, the site was slow to load and each new thread I wanted to read was slow to load. But more serious was that I could not post or send a message. Yesterday, the site would not load and only showed an error message and today it's back but won't recognise my username. If anyone can post or contact Brad, please pass this information on.

Hi Joe.
Brad has relocated to somewhere near Fort William in Scotland. I will tell him of your problems, I'll get back to you when I get a reply.

The site was relocated and all worked fine but only for a few days.
I can not get into the new site since yesterday or the day before.

Message from Brad via facebook

Not sure what happened but not longer after I got it up and running on a UK server the whole thing collapsed, I am trying to get it going again but not having much luck.

Hi Alex, I don't really know to be honest, I think Brads probably covers newer models, Maybe someone that uses it can tell us....
