Sorry about the long delay in providing any more information. Matters were not helped by me being ill for the best part of a month and not up to doing any work on the sites... Anyway, I have started working again and:

I have moved the Annexe back to it's original address, http://www.jonbanjo.com/forum

I have placed redirections on the access routes to the main forum so requests to jonbanjo.org for the main forum page should take people to the right place but if anyone has bookmarks set, I' d suggest they are updated.

I'm sorry if this casues any confusion but I wanted to provide someting fairl quickly with Mudcat being down a long while and it was not possible for me to set up at that time using jonbnjo.com. Now I have got the domain transer started and the nameservers already set to my new host, my life will be easier reverting to the old address (old links, existing email accounts, etc.)

As for folkinfo, I have just started work on it again. The task is proving harder than I had initialy and I won't give a projected completion date at the moment.

My initial plan for folkinfo is to try to host it from home and I now have a spare PC that should do the job. It's a funny site - it doesn;t get an awful lot of traffic but in the relative terms of these music type forums, it does a fair bit of other processing like creation of pdf from abc. It may be more suited to running from home rather than looking for somewhere else to run executables under cgi. Also, although I've no ideas at present, it is possible running from home would open up possibilities I might not want to try on a shared hosting package.

Whatever, if it doesn't work out, the option to host elsewhere remains.
