    Spoppers in stock

    I'll have a chat with @Eddie Bray chaps, though I think we're limited to what's available for conversion. The original mini Spombs are really expensive so once they've been converted are not really commercially viable. I've just contact Spomb again to enquire about a trade account... Cheers, Andy F

    A [now SOLVED] request from technical help - PHP - and forum donations

    For the time being I just want to update it so that it's compatible with the latest secure version of PHP (7.4 is fine). No change in functionality (yet). Currently if I update the domain that the gallery on to 7.X the gallery breaks so it's obviously using old calls.

    A [now SOLVED] request from technical help - PHP - and forum donations

    Thanks Bill and Richard. The idea of a donation has been suggested many times before over the years and I've always pushed back. I guess if there's no obligation to make a donation and the feature is available to those that want to, there's no reason not to offer it. I've therefore added a...

    A [now SOLVED] request from technical help - PHP - and forum donations

    Hi all, I'm hoping that somewhere out there in the BFW audience, there might be someone with PHP experience... I'm desperate for help with the BFW Gallery as it currently runs on an old version of PHP that I need to upgrade. Unfortunately I don't have the skills to do this. Is there anyone...

    GR60 Line

    I love GR60 and have total confidence in it. Steer clear of the GR60x - I found it to be very inconsistent.

    Recommended Frozen Boilies

    You're right Ash! I could smell him from the next swim!! It did seem to have instant impact though I'd imagine it wouldn't take long to 'blow' at the flavour/glug levels he was using...
