Sorry for the downtime recently, but we have now moved the whole site over to a new server. The site should now be faster and more responsive, and most importantly we now have more space for images so no more green boxes.

We will be tightening the rules on submissions however, and have already deleted a few thousand images (poor quality, duplicates etc).

Again, we hate asking but if any of you are in a position to donate to the site which would help us greatly towards the current upgrades, please click here.

Many thanks for your valued support.

Please let us know how things seem with the new server. Hopefully it will be a much better experience for you all.

All the best,

Chris & Sarah

   Thank you so much for all your hard efforts keeping the site going, must say I have put one shot on and it did indeed load quite quickly even though it is not one with a huge file size. All the best .

I echo what Vince has to say about all your hard efforts keeping the site going. It seems much faster,  but that might be just me. I'm going to try an upload now, it's been green boxed twice so here goes Smile

Hi guys, thanks for the info and as always your efforts are very much appreciated by all of us. What I have experienced in the last couple of minutes does suggest a faster site. Will upload a couple of images later but gotta go to the Unicorn for my tea !!!! Steak and all the trimmingsTongue out

Might we encourage Cameron to 'give' POE some money to help support the server update I wonder?

Thanks to members who are able to donate, no matter how small the sum, it all helps..

Need to keep this thread at the top don't we?

POE still needs donations if you feel able to help.

I know some members have already donated and so thank you on behalf of C&S/POE - but to those who use the site and leave without making a donation (no matter how small, it all helps) please know that they need your help to keep the best England website bar none on the net!

Thank you in anticipation.

I love the new look - very clean and easy to use! I haven't had time to visit in a long time so it was a big surprise and I just wanted to tell someone.
