Hello all, We had a small hiccup with a major platform upgrade. However this has now been fixed bar a few smaller tweaks. Please note that if you see anything odd at all, please come back to me and I can have it fixed. Our site index is also rebuilding, so performance will be a little slower and counters for things like unread comments, messages etc may not appear true for a while until the index finishes rebuilding. Many thanks, E

We do not anticipate any issues with the migration and when we are back live, but nothing is impossible. Once the migration has completed, if you notice anything odd, please post it in this thread and we can look into it Many thanks, E

No problems bud, these things happen

Update, we have a further role coming up...... Review Team Manager The review team manager will be responsible for speaking with our industry contacts (and creating new relationships) to procure samples for our reviewers, keeping up with review request and press releases via our review inbox. The role also involves speaking with our team and asking if there are items that they would like to create a content piece on and then sourcing it from the relevant partner.

Hello all, With a move to make sure that ExtremeHW is always receiving the care and attention it deserves, we will be looking to recruit staff in a few key positions.

Social Media Team Members In this role, you will have access to the EHW social media accounts which you will use to promote content on EHW from all different areas. To keep the audience engaged, some areas would include: *Site News *Site Content & Reviews *Industry news (Whether shared from EHW or another online source) *Humorous content Moderators This role ensures that we are keeping the site clean from any reported issues, moderating issues between members and reminding members of our rules should they be broken.

This is just a PR move. Nothing substantial to it. The Russian people no will have no problems sourcing the software elsewhere.

Awesome, will move this to our announcement section. Looking forward to what people cone up with

Sorry for the confusion. So if you want to have a recurring donation, please select one of these next month: https://forums.extremehw.net/store/ Go into your PayPal and cancel the payment for the prior recurring subscription you setup for the donations (not your premium account as that is different). Then your set

Some nice Hardware. @damricDo you think we could use these in the monthly Folding Comps ?

Thanks all for your donations! Hmmm, I mean We could always use it as prizing for a competition perhaps. What sort of hardware are we talking about ?

Triple post wonder! Good news, my server admin has been kind enough to migrate us to the new server (To be purchased tomorrow) and for the fees to be deferred. This allows us to get underway sooner

In further news we will be migrating to a VPS server in order to keep costs realistic at around £70 per month (rather than £180). I am hoping to do this next month as the migration costs are not doable this month, but not long to go. If anyone is wondering, there are migration costs as I use a server contractor to do this, who takes care of the sites and all of there related services. It will go far more smoothly going this route. Eating an initial cost, but will put us in a much better place moving forward!

Hey bud, Yes should be good to go

So it looks like "Subscriptions", you cannot have multiple of. So I have now changed it so that a user can have a subscription and a donations. Users who have already donated via subscriptions,. Next month, if you would like to create a recurring donation, please select one of our donation products from here : https://forums.extremehw.net/store/ . For those who have donated already, I have cancelled its reoccurrence (However those who used PayPal, please be sure to login your end and cancel the purchase under the Automatic Payments section). so that when you donate using the new donation products, you will not get pinged twice a month. Apologies for any confusion. If you have a problem donating using the new products, please let me know. Thanks, E
