    Thanks for your patience during the recent downtime while we moved to a much better location.

    We (& CCS) are now in our own Virtual Private Server with sole use of allocated resources such as memory & CPU & not influence by happenings on other sites we shared our old location with. In a few months we will have further enhancements with the use of SSD's (solid state drives - no moving parts!) for even greater speed

    If you notice any post-move issue please let me know via this feedback section or by replying to this post.

    The move is partly to ease the transition to CPLv2 & our new forum platform which will greatly improve ease of uploading images - no more optimising first! We will also be compatible with mobile devices such as smart phones & tablets. Plus many other useful features.

    CPLv2 will also have a new powerful, enhanced search utility that is only possible on a VPS & higher.

    Sorry it took longer than intended. Partially done to some strange DNS issues & partially down to my ISP Talktalk we believe who it appears are very slow at updating DNS on their servers so I couldn't see that the move had completed.

    No problems here, Ross - it appears to be working fine and is noticeably quicker. :D/

    Many thanks for all you've done. I know it wasn't easy. :thumbup:

    I've a minor issue with some vertical and horizontal lines being missing i.e. those between some posts.

    Prior to the move, some of these horizontal lines were slightly thicker so it might be me...
