While Danny is 'scrimping and saving' trying to recover from Christmas and a house move:) , you will no doubt have noticed a lot of 'server unavailable' stuff of late.

If this happens after you have typed that world-class post and clicked on 'submit' you will have lost your post.

I recommend copying your post BEFORE you submit it, using highlight/copy and then if the web monster eats it, you can simply 'paste' it back with far fewer tears.

UPDATE 10/1/06

There has been a significant 'tweak' (of major proportions) this lunchtime at the server end by one of our tecchies. It is 'on trial' at the moment and we hope the problem has been resolved?

PS NB: There may be some switches back to the old system in the next couple of days - but we do not need reports of 'server down' messages as the Mods get them too!:{

I suggest you stick with paragraph 3 for the time being.

Further:

There has been a touch of confusion over piccy posting:) . I have 'amplified' the thread on how to post pics in the hope we can avoid further such.
