Thanks everyone, I did indeed. Enjoyed a great Indian's and cake.

I still haven’t been able to catch one of these. Hopefully next year.

I have replied to the email from Yvonne so hopefully she will be able to reply here directly.

The following was sent in via the contact us form from Yvonne... @Alan Edgar (Eggy1948)

I know a Howarth from Manchester. It would quite amusing if they're related to Oliver here I've sent them the link.

👍

I've added an upcoming events block to the right of that page

Webcam should be sorted now too. Again it might take a few hours to update. As a bonus the changes should give some speed improvements across the site too.

Probably related. Looking into it.

Thanks Alan that's helpful. I'm going to make some changes that should address this. It might take up to 48 hours to take affect.

Sorry I'm not able to determine at what point you're having a problem. You say What is the address in your browser address bar when you get the error? Is "Your Internet Access is Blocked." the entire error message? Is there any further descriptive error?

Happy birthday @Brian Cross. Hope you had a good one.

Happy belated birthday Vic 🎂

Hi Tracey, I'm so sorry to hear this. What a lovely thing to do with the memorial garden. @Malcolm Robinson should be able to give you more info on the benches.

Happy birthday!

Happy New Year all.

It’s back.

Sorry folks. Working on it but it might be offline for a couple of weeks.

There are a few common spam words in the filters you may have hit but I can't see anything in your post that would have caught it. I'll check on it though, thanks.

Thank you. 🎂🎂

Not a bad idea. We can make the categories and albums public but the images member only but I'm all for keeping things open generally. Getting people to sign up doesn't seem to be an issue as there's a constant stream of members it's the engagement that is sometimes tricky. The advantage of Facebook is it's general social aim but it's also the big disadvantage in that pretty much everything posted there is ultimately doomed to get lost. We're working on allowing people to post before registering so that posting and signing up are part of the same process. Hopefully that will help.

Perhaps we should start another photo appeal and ask people to list any specific places or people of interest.

@Alan Edgar (Eggy1948) That's great to hear, glad I can help. They could have had one a lot sooner though if I had known. Tell them to get on over to support the local site that actually values and protects the content and isn't out to profit from invading their privacy 😛 Incidentally I've just scanned a lot of old family photos, many of which feature people and places of Bedlington. Threegee is going through them and adding any info he can and I'll be posting the relevant ones to a public album soon.
