Apologies for the hassles

We definitely have not been ignoring the website upgrade issues, though we really wish we could make like ostriches!

We have had an outside assessment done of the website upgrades and integration. The good news is that the upgrades to our core software for the HUBB and the rest of the site content went well. The bad news is that, in an attempt to make the two halves of the site LOOK identical, the developers have made the system complex and unstable for sign-ons and HUBB postings, and also affected the performance. This was NOT what we asked them to do! We said KISS many times!

The upshot is that we will be simplifying the interface, so it will not look as pretty, but it will work. We expect to implement those changes within the next couple of weeks. Further updates as we have them. Visual redesign and restructure of menus will come later, but we do know the site needs it. We are grateful for your continuing patience and support - this has been a very expensive lesson - our favourite kind!

You don't want to hear what I've had to say about all this. My mother would wash my mouth out with soap.

Notes:
The automatic logout has been extended, not shortened. Supposed to help, but not perfect.

Saving/copying your immortal prose before posting is always a good idea in any website - I've been bitten enough on other sites I do it as a matter of course - select all, copy to the clipboard, then submit.
