Within the next few days you can expect a major rebuild of the site to be released.

The main goal has been to make the site "mobile-friendly", so those who visit the site using phones and tablets will, at last, be able to do so without a lot of pinching, spreading, and scrolling. It should also lead to the site being much better ranked by search engines used on mobile devices.

For those using laptops and desktop computers, and perhaps larger tablets, things will look much the same and probably it will only be a change to the menu system that you will notice.

Because the revised site uses new techniques for delivering the pages (Web geeks will recognise it as driven by PHP) you may find that your existing bookmarks do not take you to the expected page. Hopefully, everything will be caught by the new "Oops! I Can't Find That Page" page, where there will advice on what to do.

With the major structural change in place, it should make it easier to keep the site updated. I plan to work my way through all the pages - there are over 110 of them containing a total of almost 600 different images - and update any with information that reflects the best current knowledge.

Once the new site is on-line, feedback about any pages that appear to hold information that conflicts with that on another page will be especially welcome, so they can be given priority treatment for update.
