Hi JohnF...I am on the new server, according to Scunners post and the reported problems have disappeared. No message betwen screen refreshes. Like lollipop, I had some strange navigation issues earlier in the day ie "seem to be having some problems when clicking on topics in the general calis beach section it keeps taking me back to the main screen with all the different catergories" but I have only just signed on again. I will test it on the topic that failed earlier and let you know if it's still an issue. Also, I still get the My SQL error message when I log on but only then and it sorts itself out no problem. Well done for sorting it all out. Must have been a mightmare!
