Mince has been in touch and he's been very helpful.
Nige, let me know. privately if you prefer, if this is about the financial security of this site. Earlier this year, when Mince suddenly announced the imminent closure of this place, one of our regulars (bless his/her cotton socks!) stepped in and paid the necessary fees. I really don't want this to happen again and I will cover any future costs. As far as I can see, previous posts on this subject have been deleted so I have no idea when these potential fees may be due.
No, it was nothing to do with that, Roger. We've got a problem with the weekly strips not appearing. Mince did a lot of work in setting it up a few years ago. No the hosting company has made some changes to its servers which mean the strips no longer show or change automatically.
It is likely that I will move to another host company - as I also had problems with other sites where our online forms stopped working properly in that we were no longer receiving them. They eventually resolved that but I hate to think how many enquiries we may have lost.
