Thanks for the advance warning and preventing us all from weeping, wailing and gnashing teeth.

Thanks for the warning, I don't really understand what you are going to do but I'm sure all will go well.

Is there any system in place for posting updates about the process should it take longer than expected?  For example, I think people could view a Twitter account using a web browser without having to sign up to Twitter.

That is a good idea...

It may end up being done next Tuesday rather than tomorrow - I'm waiting to hear back from the new hosts, but I will choose whichever is likely to give us the least downtime.

ctrl + shift + del doesn't clear the cache on Windows - it brings up the blue window of logging out, etc.  Cache-clearing is in the settings/tools functions of the browser in question.

Or do you mean a machine restart to refresh DNS thingies?

It's control/alt/delete that brings up the blue window.  Control/shift/delete should bring up a list of options including clearing the cache.

Thank you - I really did not know that :-)

It's looking like we will be closing for the transfer at 10am tomorrow.  The new hosts are very keen that I make sure you know it could be 24 hours before we're back, but (whispers) when I transferred my own websites a few weeks ago it only took a few hours.  I think 3 hours is probably the absolute minimum possible, but don't quote me on that, and it is likely to be longer.

Looks like you'll all have to find something useful to do.  Anyone got any hobbies?

... and we have a Twitter account - https://twitter.com/SewingPlace

I think it should be visible to everybody - I gave up on Twitter a while ago when it suddenly started to get complicated, but I think I can cope with this!

Thank you for the info, and for all the work you do to keep the forum running smoothly.

I have just asked to join the FB group.

Tomorrow morning; 3+ hours from 10:00.  Well it's my turn on the family history helpdesk tomorrow finishing 12:30, but later if it's busy and then I'm meeting Terry at the local coffee shop for lunch (nice panninis but the cakes are not @justpottering 's home made  :'( ) so it's likely to be mid aftenoon before I try to log in, so hopefully I won't be deprived of TSP for very long. 
Brenda.  My machines are: Corona, a 1953 Singer 201K-3, Caroline, a 1940 Singer 201K-3, Thirza, 1949 Singer 221K, Azilia, 1957 Singer 201K-MK2 and Vera, a Husqvarna 350 SewEasy about 20 years old. Also Bernina 1150 overlocker and Elna 444 Coverstitcher.
