Migrating to FTH4

Your club admin received the instructions to update their admin password to access FTH4. (FTH3 admin passwords will NOT work in FTH4). Follow the instructions in the email and use 'Member sign in' in the top right corner to access the Club Admin account.

If you are not sure who the club admin is, in your member account; look at 'Club Officers and Members' > "Club Email addresses". The LAST item in this list is the person who is currently listed as your club admin.

If this is not correct, please complete and submit this form to change your club admin:

Just to confirm the issue is still going, and being experienced throughout the week, not just on Mondays.

Is there an update on this slow issue?
It is becoming a PR problem. People are not going to wait for pages to appear.

We were attacked by a badly behaved web crawling robot called "semalt" (look it up).

Brian has blocked them, but they are still trying to access club websites via our server, sometimes 2 or 3 times a second.

I have taken further action to get rid of them, and we will continue to work on addressing this.
