    Dead section of site, 301 redirect to Home or 410 Gone

    Thanks for reply's. Doing the redirects is not a problem. There are probably a fair few historic links, and SE will be delivering some traffic, until they realise the pages are gone. I also have a whole heap of Russian Porn link that I've given up trying to disavow, I figure Google knows they...

    Search Console, Spammy Porn Links

    I noticed that one of our pages has lots of spammy porn links to it (500, 46 domains) 90% of the inward links to that page. So my questions are: Is this a form of referrer spam? Do I need to disavow the links or does google already know/has already disavowed them? More generally, I've never...

    Moving a Hard Disc Partition

    Yes, boot partition was running out of space, had become a constant battle of deleting logs etc and seeking out more things to move/delete. I wish I hadn't had to spend £120 (would of been £100 if it weren't for that stupid Brexit Vote, another £20 the Brexiteers owe me ;))

    Moving a Hard Disc Partition

    Ok, for any with similar problem. I have used partition magic as suggested, and it worked fine took about 1 hour, cost about £120 for the server version

    Moving a Hard Disc Partition

    I haven't done this yet as I'm very nervous about making this change, don't want to crash the server. What do people think about turning on 'Compress this drive to save space' will this solve my problem in a safer way?

    Moving a Hard Disc Partition

    Hello, Its been a long time since I've been here! I'm looking for a recommendation for a tool to move my hard disk partition on my Windows 2008 server. I'm battling for space on my boot partition. Windows own tools don't do it. Don't want to spend too much as will only need to do it once.

    What are your thoughts on Brexit?

    I shall be voting remain, Brexit would be madness I run a small business. Not sure what Red Tape we're tied up in, I'm not aware of any. Any brexiter care to give a good example of red tape. The EU is democratic, we vote for MEPs

    Warning - Worldpay - PayPal check your transactions

    This might only be me, but it probably worth checking, if you use Worldpay to take PayPal transactions (as well as all the credit cards) In November and December I had several transaction cancelled automatically days after the goods were sent, these were not chargebacks, just cancelled. It’s...

    Oh my good lord.

    I fear we are on a downward slope, with more and more of these atrocities, more bombing, boots on the ground. It won’t take many more attacks like this to tip many unthinking people us over the edge to create a steeply a rising tide of intolerance of Muslins, and a rise of far right parties and...
