I've switched the shop from maintenance mode to catalogue mode, having discovered that I can do this. Maintenance mode hides the entire site, which is quite inconvenient; catalogue mode means that customers may browse our ranges but can neither add items to the cart nor check out. I am at work on existing orders, packing what I can from stock. I aim to have casting sessions on Wednesday and Thursday to make items that are not in the stock drawers, provided that my left hand has returned to some semblance of normality. It was completely useless on Monday and has eased a bit today, so I can type with half of it. I appreciate that it is inconvenient not being able to place orders, but I do not wish to put myself in the position of accepting money for orders that I may not be able to fulfil. However, I hope to be back in action fully within the next two weeks. www.facebook.com/Fighting15s/posts/pfbid06AKgLev5jsVKLjgYWqqwk7LgBufmzsn2Y8nqQCheFLqQoy6rXeMJLDhQi65YvZjPl

Get better first. I'm sure most will understand. We can wait for our toys.

www.facebook.com/Fighting15s/posts/pfbid02YoHePfyPDsQTHmCVpYh7g8Reci3UP91SSEmZxZvfhysayt793EsCtaJdmy3DsQowlAn earth-shattering kaboom at server level at our website provider means that the Fighting 15s and Gladiator Miniatures website is down for an unknown length of time, possibly days. As this affects the server for several sites in the wargames business, including Early War Miniatures, Black Hat and, IIRC, Too Fat Lardies, you may notice that some of the UK's small wargames businesses are similarly affected. We and they have not gone out of business. I cannot, however, access orders in the shop while the server is down so there will be a delay in processing existing orders. I may be able to piece together orders from confirmatory emails but it will take longer than usual and I can't issue invoices. Please bear with me. I may take a week's forced holiday. Anyone desperate to order and who is registered with Etsy may make a custom order request through the Fighting 15s Etsy shop. Ian, Fighting 15s

From the Toofatlardies FB PAGE . www.facebook.com/Toofatlardies/posts/pfbid0nkRh4Thkwspd9daZVY9nu3rZ3PkofJvvFf1GbnzUSNX4DBk9F3szcr6GsqdQEarrlRighty ho. Well, I am not really sure where to begin, but let's give it a go. The TooFatLardies website is likely to be down for two weeks. And when it reappears, I'll be in the US for Historicon. Now, there's a double whammy. To provide a bit of context, we, along with several other wargaming companies, use the services of the man I always refer to as the web elf. It's great to deal with him and he's a wargamer and consequently it makes life really easy when we release products and he understands exactly what we are doing. He's also a bloke who goes the extra mile and often works round the clock to make sure things are running as well as they can. HOWEVER , he's just had a catastrophic failure of the server he keeps everything on and all the web sites he manages are kaputt, for now. That probably isn't what has actually happened, as there is all sorts of technical reasons this stuff kicks off, and it's all beyond me.
HOWEVER (yes, another HOWEVER!) its his 60th birthday tomorrow and his wife has booked a cruise. They leave in the morning. So, that means that until, he returns, nobody can access our web site and, as it is likely it will have to be rebuilt from scratch, which rather compounds the issue.Now, there are moments in life which test one's patience and, frankly, this is one. But the reality is that I could jump up and down and scream and shout all I want, but it won't change a thing. What's more, the poor bloke has got to go on holiday and look like he's enjoying it. So, with that in mind, I have told him to have a great holiday and not to worry about it until he returns. It's obviously a huge blow for us as our cash flow is now completely shut off. It's equally frustrating that the business email doesn't work and if you ordered in the last 36 hours we can't process that. Sadly, I am not here providing any solutions, just informing you of the issue we currently have. I do hope that you can all bear with us until we can get this resolved. Edit: Seems at least 9 compaines have been affected by this .

I would go apoplectic I'm afraid if that happened to my business. Sorry to hear that.

Wow. I can feel their pain; I went through a catastrophic server failure at work at the beginning of the year. I'm still working on a few last bits of fallout from that.
