Update on the old forum archive

Lisa Miles
Hi all


I have some news regarding the archive of the old posts in the previous forum (powered by Fusetalk)


The Fusetalk software will finally go offline permanently by the end of January 2020 meaning that it will no longer be available or searchable. As we’ve said previously the software is no longer supported and now poses a serious cybersecurity concern.


There will be a short length of time where discussions within the old forum will not be available while an archive is being prepared.  We suggest if there are any discussions you wish to keep for reference, that you save a copy of it before the end of January.


It has also been requested that we only archive the conversations posted on the old forum since the release of the 18th Edition Wiring regs (i.e. from July/August 2018) so that out-of-date regs information is not made available. So again, if there are any past conversations that you wish to keep a copy of then we’d recommend that you do so before the end of January.


Any questions please ask or email us at community-online@theiet.org

    I agree with what others are saying - the title is "Wiring and the Regulations" ... many of the topics don't relate directly to BS 7671, or indeed other standards ... it's not the Wiring Regs Technical Helpline !


    It's also the case that answers which rely on science move far more slowly than conformity to standards, if at all.


    Further, many of our Forum users are likely to be carrying out work on existing installations ... and BS 7671 itself states it's not retrospective. The life of many installations often far exceeds 20 years, so "pre 2018" cuts out a lot of work.


    It also perhaps shows whoever is asking this question is unaware of the value of the contributions offered in the topics, and the time taken by volunteers to respond ...
