Many thanks everyone the crisis is over and funding until next March secured.

Hosting paid as attached and I have seen the donation made to the hospice on behalf of the memorial. The domain name will be paid as soon as I receive the invoice. Everybody who has made a donation should see it acknowledged in the first post, post publicly if anything is missing by all means, as we need to remain fully accountable.

I'll take it easier for a few days so as not to strain my eye which is recovering well and then try and get the new owner to indicate his intentions. There are also software difficulties to overcome as it is a very long time since either the forum software or Malcolm's news site software were updated. There is a risk of going out of support in the not too distant future. Attempting to update the software has failed thus far by both myself and the 'experts'.

The hosting was actually due for renewal last march so thanks to YNH Ltd for not pulling the plug for four months and then only as they could not make contact. All admin is now fully understood and properly set up. Just as well I could not go to the Manx!!

In about a month I hope to instigate discussion with financial options on the future.
