I have decided to start this thread for discussing technical issues that come up rather than messing up the other threads.
I guess the first issue seems to be pasting Word text into posting boxes.
Recently we have had three threads lockup up as a result of posts involving Word text.

Let me test with a hummingbird at Starr Ranch:
Jolly diddles :-)
However, I am actually here to tell my friends that I am about to do a "factory settings" on this note/netbook. Been having problems for weeks and been messing around trying to find fixes instead of biting the bullet. Am very depressed about it. EJ will probably land while it's in progress, never mind it being night-time.
Please forgive me for offloading off-topic, I just had to :'( Hope to be in a lighter mood when I'm back :-*

Hello all,
Just as an update to how the fix went. As you can see and as you may have found, it worked! However you may still find that it is temperamental because it had to apply to every picture that has ever been uploaded to the community (well over a million files). This may mean the fix is still going on for another day/few days, so from now until it is complete we may see images appearing intermittently and the community may run slowly. Hopefully when it is finished this functionality will be more reliable.
To help us in future, please can you check that the images you are uploading are - if possible - below 1mb.
Thanks,
M

Hi all,
Hope you are all looking forward to the weekend and you manage to get out at some point to enjoy the predicted sunshine, I will be hoping to get out myself tomorrow morning to look for Adders and other reptiles as it looks nice!
I have just spoken with our IS team who inform me that the upgrade will continue running over the weekend. Basically all files are being moved slowly, there is a backlog and so old pictures are being moved and even new pictures recently uploaded are being moved.
When files move they can dissappear from the communities and will then reappear when they have successfully moved, new pictures move to, hence why many of them appear when you first upload them and then dissappear the next time you go to look. It is luck of the draw in what order they move and how quickly they will reappear and this is just something that needs to tick over and happen naturally, it will sort itself out when it does and there is no way it can be sped up.
Tolerate it as best you can!
I am once again at the Spring Country Fair representing the RSPB and talking wildlife gardening in London on Sunday but will try and check in and Claire will obviously be around and be back in the office Monday (I am back in the office Tuesday).
Kind Regards,
Ben
