FSCaptain Support for early 2018

[Travis]

Captains,

We're well underway on development of 1.8.1 Alpha 1 - the first build has been sent out to the testers - but real life is causing some minor slowdowns.

• Cold and flu season has touched both Dutch and myself over the past month.
• Peter has had his annual "January workload".
• I will be offline from February 13th-23rd, and then again late March for family functions (fun ones, this time!).
• Peter will be offline the last full week of February, accepting an invitation (to a prestigious event) in an area of the world he's yet to have visited!!

So if a question goes unanswered for several days, please think nothing of it.  We will be around, just perhaps planning some elaborate April Fools prank!

(And no, this post is not part of an April Fools prank!)

Because our forum has been recently visited by spammers, we've had to change forum policies.  As of today, only registered users can post, although everyone else is free to search and read.

Also, requests to register for the forum must now be approved by Dutch, Peter or myself.

That's no guarantee that spammers can't post here, so if you visit us one day and see a post-which-shouldn't-be-here, feel free to report it to our attention!  Use the "Settings dropdown" to select the "Report Post" forum function!

Best regards,

[Travis]

Captains,

I've had a hard drive failure - one that I stupidly had not fully planned for. It only affects our documentation, and should only have a few day's delay on things.

However Lucy has had a family issue that we will need a few days to attend. I feel we may have an Alpha 2 build very soon, but I won't be very available for the remainder of this week for support.

Regards,
