* bump * (to catch anyone checking this evening)

Maza1987 · Challenger level

cool.
was wondering why i couldnt access the rankings!
Hopefully it's sorted soon.

Josh · Challenger level

Is it any closer to getting sorted? Are the guys prepared to sell the domain back?

Miriambee · Futures level

Any chance of having the "no title" linked to the correct/current home page so we can get a direct link to the rest of the site, please. or direct links to other parts of the site?
Secondly having the "no title" renamed so it tells us where it leads to??

Madeline · Admin:Moderator + Tennis Legend

I have this forum bookmarked, and usually go to bt.net via the "links" at the top of the page. So is there any chance of having this too changed to the Freewebs link so that it is easily accessed?

Is Sheddie the only one who can do this sort of thing? If so, Sheddie, is it possible for you to share your powers with somebody who is on the site more regularly?

Vandenburg · Futures level

i was wondering what it was all about, i had to get on here by browsing my history.

DUSTY DICK · Club Coach

Does anyone know if/when this will get sorted?
It seems to be dragging on a bit.

Mikeduke · County player

That makes more sense, what's the latest on getting it back?

Sheddie · administrator

Basically current situation is:

Drew's looking into trying to get it back, haven't heard any updates from him on this but he's going to see what he can do...(I would do it but have got too much on atm with uni exams)

If we can't get it back then I'll buy a new domain name once exams finish at the start of June.
This would be a bit of a pain as our google ranking is through britishtennis.net so would have to build that up again....however we definately need a domain name as the grass season swings into gear.

Over the summer I also plan to re-design the site homepage as atm the daily news posts isn't particularly viable long-term. Wolf, ForeverDelayed et al have done an amazing job with this over the past 2 yrs but it is a bit of an unfair load on them....

I intend to link the homepage news with the forum somehow to create something which would need to be updated weekly at most.

Drew · Apr 17, 2010

i am just back from 10 days hols...will be on the case over next few days.

RBBOT · Futures qualifying

Any progress on this? Surely it's time to register a new name if we can't retrive the old one.

steven · Tennis legend

We don't seem to be doing too badly without a domain name, but I agree that this should be sorted, i.e. resolve the situation with the old name or give up and register a new one. I've pm'd Sheddie and Drew about it.

RBBOT · Futures qualifying

The freewebs site has now stopped responding to the www.britishtennis.net domain name, so even if you regained control of the name, it would need to be re-associated with the site at the freewebs end for it to work again.

Any news on this? I find it a little annoying to find the site (especially the top 25) when I am away from my home computer. Our work computers wipe our history/cache every day, although perhaps I should be working.
