Site upgrade 1 Year, 5 Months ago  
The site upgrade has gone fairly well, and is now mostly complete.

You will have noticed that the changes have been fairly significant. The scripts powering both the forum and the photo gallery have been changed, whilst the system that manages user profiles has also been significantly upgraded. There have also been major changes to the script that displays the site.

Basically, it's been a 'biggy'

The changes should make it far easier to 'connect' with other OBs. It is now much easier to see who is doing what on this site (via user's profile pages).

There is still some tidying to be done (mostly in the forum), but this should hopefully be fairly minor.

Many thanks to those who have alerted me to stray bugs and problems.

Re:Site upgrade 7 Months ago  
It seems the site's undergone a substantial restyling recently.

Sorry Dave, but I have to give it the thumbs down. The black (and dark grey / slate blue in places) everywhere is far too "heavy" - where's the DHS Green?

And the "smilies" - don't want to sound racist, but I can barely tell them apart (or read the text on the logout button). I much preferred it all the way it was.

Must agree with the last comment, I know that I'm an old old boy but please remember that some of us were born before the computer generation, i think that I log on to this site on most days but for me it's becoming too fussy.

I log on several times EVERY day and I think the upgrade great and I,too, am an old,old boy. I must admit that a darker shade of green would be better than black/grey......
I point out that our very astute and accommodating webmaster has already updated the emoticons. Well done Dave.

If you want something done give it to someone who is busy.

Re:Site upgrade 6 Months, 3 Weeks ago  
Just got back from a holiday in Dubai to discover a much more professional looking site - well done Dave - is it the oldies (above) who can't manage change?

However, not sure whether it's my browser (must check out my alternatives to IE,. viz Opera, Firefox, Chrome and Safari) but it seems slower accessing the site server.

Yep, that green heading definitely looks better as do the smilies IMO. Thanks Dave.
