Hi All,
As you will know we have had a difficult time with the Website over the past few weeks which has been hard for us all particularly for me because I have not been able to communicate with you for updates.
The main reason for this was a clash with Codes on the old site conflicting with those introduced on the new one which have built up over time and eventually caused the website to crash.
During the past few weeks a great deal of work has taken place to overcome this and we owe it to Henrik for what he has done to rectify the problem, it has not been easy and much discussion has taken place during this time to ensure it does not happen again and I can confirm that as a result of this a new server will be installed.
Most of the work has now been completed and the website is almost back to normal, there are however one or two problems to resolve before the the new server is installed.
We must now play our part in ensuring that this never happens again so with this in mind changes have been made with regard to the number of photographs that can be uploaded at a given time, we get on average up to 400/500 photographs uploaded daily and the maximum has been six at any one time, to ease the pressure this has now been reduced to four and rule 5 has been amended accordingly.
----------------------------------------------------------------
5. How many photos of a vessel can be posted at the same time?
When posting multiple photos of the same vessel taken on the same Date, the submission must be restricted to a maximum of 4 photographs with a significant change of Aspect/Angle between the photographs.

My thanks to you all for your continued support and I would urge all members and in particular new ones to ensure that they read and familiarise themselves with the Website Rules and Standards and also the Uploading Guidelines and they can be found here
