The privacy policy has changed: we’re now using CrazyEgg for our visitor stats. Please see the CrazyEgg privacy policy for details on how it affects you (it shouldn’t, as they don’t store your data or track you across sites.)

Sorry about the breakage — it seems that going to Belgium causes this site to die…

Due to upgrades at the hosting company, the site will be down from 10:30pm on Wednesday 24 October for a minimum of six hours.

Upgrades are being done alphabetically by username — unfortunately, we’re at the tail end of the alphabet on that one :)

Everything should be running again by Thursday morning.

Sorry, all — thought I’d done the diary entries for this month!

We’re back! Sorry for the extended outage — you’d think domain transfers would be easier, really.

The branch diary for September will appear really soon, honest…

PS: if you sent any mail to a westernsussexcamra.org.uk address in the last week, it won’t have made it. Please resend:

If you can see this, you’re looking at the new server! We’re running newer versions of the software, which should make things run a bit smoother, with one exception…

You’ll be noticing that some articles are appearing twice. This is due to them being in more than one category — apparently there’s a shiny new bug which means they get listed once per category. Hopefully I’ll be able to find a fix for this soon…

The photos from the May Trip are now up in gallery form. Hopefully at some point in the near future I’ll get around to writing an article explaining what we did :)

Sorry for lack of interior photos — most pubs were too busy to get a decent shot…

Just noticed a slight problem with the calendars feed — while the times shown on the site are correct, the times in the feed are off by one hour as the fact that we’re on BST isn’t being picked up. So iCal etc will be showing events as starting one hour later than they already are.

I’ll try and work up a fix for this tomorrow night, although at the end of October the problem will go away by itself for a few months as the clocks will have gone back :)

Update: yay, fixed it. Everything should work correctly now.

Second update: and as soon as I fix it, a new version of the calendar module gets released. The subscription address has been changed in this, so you’ll need to resubscribe. Sorry…

Two fixes to calendars:

• You can now click on dates in the calendar to see the events for that date. One thing to watch out for is that the event will now show the date it was posted in the header — see the actual event text for the date and time of the event
• After updating the EventCalendar plugin, calendar subscriptions are working once again, so if you use iCal, Google Calendar or similar, then you can copy the location of the subscribe link into your software and it should all Just Work.

Phew! I think that’s everything now.

Sorry if the site has seemed to be a bit slow lately — apparently three of the four servers at the ISP are randomly freezing, which means the last server gets severely overloaded. Hopefully it’ll be better soon.

Calendar subscriptions are broken at the moment. Not quite sure what’s wrong, but the calendar didn’t show in my copy of iCal. It also decided to hide all my other calendars, and I had to do the sort of hacking that, quite frankly, you shouldn’t have to do on a Mac in order to get them back again.

Until I’ve found a fix for this, please delete your Western Sussex CAMRA calendar subscription from iCal and look at the site for updates. Sorry about this.

(Does anybody actually use that feature apart from me, anyway?)
