Web-site reboot

You may have noticed several things missing from the web-site, probably including your logon.

The version of the software we use to run the web-site has been terminally broken by hackers and its not clear whether they have got into the Big Foot site or not. Given the attack is estimated to affect millions of sites, its pretty clear that the Big Foot site would be top of the list, so the site has to be rebuilt. To read more - see this BBC article.

Happily a lot of the rebuild can be done by grabbing data from the old web-site. Unhappily some of the author information gets trashed in the process.

Once the new site is usable, new user-id info will be sent to the resgistered users of the old site.
