All of the websites running on ClubExpress are down temporarily. We are monitoring the situation and have been told by their support staff that our site will be up and running shortly. Sorry for any inconvenience!

Is the talk forum a separate animal, that is still 100%?

Correct, ClubExpress is a company that provides a bundle of hosting and content management/ club management software.

We have maintained our separate phpBB based forum on a server we control, for a number of reasons. There is more information including a PDF about this on the main website (now back up BTW).

Yes, the talk forum is a separate web site. Look at the different addresses behind the "https//" url.

The short site outage early this morning 18AUG was caused by a problem with an SSL Certificate. During the replacement and/or updating of this certificate the websites load balancers stop serving web traffic causing the outage to all ClubExpress customers. No further issues are expected and the problem was quickly resolved restoring access to our site. All systems are now fully operational.
