Re: Is Apterous down?

Agreed Jason. As an aside, when did Apterous last get a mention on CD? Surely can't have been Charlie v Junaid but can't think of a more recent example. Anyhow, back on topic, we're still not back after Apo time. Editing myself : It's many a year back but I don't think it was mentioned during Charli...

I can recall Tom Conlon (Horace) having mohairs disallowed in 2013, but something makes me think it's been allowed on the show since.

Mohairs was valid on Apterous in 2013, and remains so.
