The databases used by the site are now running on the new database server which has a more modern motherboard than the old one. Please see the web log for more details. |

The site was down for about a day owing to a hard disk crash on the web server. Unfortunately, the motherboard went as well. I have ordered replacements and in the meantime have built a new web server on a different machine so the web site was not down for too long. Many apologies to all of my visitors who were affected. |

Many apologies! The web site was down for 10 days until yesterday and I did not realise as I have been busy with other things. Mea culpa!! The site is now back. The problem was caused by an installation of the new version of Skype on one my machines which overwrote some of the port forwarding entries on my router, including the one for the World Wide Web, which knocked out all my websites. Everything should be back to normal now. |

Finally modified Appointments page so that Commonwealth Unit Appointments are grouped by Branch and Directorate. As a result of changes made during develoipment, this page had stopped working properly so this bug should now be resolved. I fixed this a couple of days ago but the fonts were wrong. They are now correct. |

Added a new Corps Unit Index page which allows users to select Corps by Nation which should be more user friendly than the existing Units by Corps Page which has a dropdown control for the Corps. Clicking on a Corps Name will display a new page listing the Units for the Corps |

Once again apologies are in order. There has been no data available on the site for the past 4 days as a result of the database server being down. This was caused by a severe storm in my hometown which cut off the electricity for several hours. Unfortunately, the database server did not restart properly as a result of an incorrect setting. I was not able to look at it as I did not have web access for a few days. Things are now resolved so please accept my apologies for the lack of data for the last 4 days. |

Version 1095 published. |
| 26-Feb-2010 |
Version 1094 Modified layout slightly and removed Banner image. This image looks good but does not display properly on some browsers. Changed the colours to black and maroon to make it more readable. |
| 13-Jul-2008 |
The remaining pages are now back up and running (with the exception of Unit by Corps) and a new version of the website has been deployed. This new version does not include any new pages but that is the next thing that will be done. Sorry once again for the pages not being available. |
| 14-Feb-2010 |
Version 1093 Fixed placement error in Data Grid so multi-line grid records line up properly. Changed text in some forms to improve keyword relevency. |
| 12-Jul-2008 |
A Replication problem resulting from some ongoing changes managed to cause a bit of a problem a couple of days ago and empty the web database completely! It took me a couple of days to notice the problem as I have been focussing on development recently. No data was lost as the master database is still fine. I have reset the replication and the web database has been repopulated successfully. Unfortunately, some of the screens are still not functioning properly and are giving errors including the home page and the country pages as well as the unit data and person data pages. The Index pages are working as are almost all of the reference pages. I will try and sort this out in the next few days. Please accept my apologies for the problem. |

Version 1092 Modified layout once again shifting Menu to right of page. Removed all affiliated adverts and cleaned up form layout. Made Menu clearer. Renamed all Person pages to be Officer pages instead as that is more specific. Added Unit Title and Person Title to url to make them more useful and more SEO friendly. Moved Amazon Bookshop adverts to the Footer. In the future, I intend to integrate Amazon more closely into the site, specifically the Sources page. Many apologies for the continued layout changes but I have been trying to come up with the best layout. Hopefully this will be the last layout change for a while!! |

We're back!! On 28-Apr-2008, a hardware crash took down the web server. Luckily the database was unaffected. Then I managed to lock myself out of the database server which I was going to use to as the web server until I can build a new webserver. As I am in Europe at the moment, I had to rely on others to sort out the problem locally before I could restore the ASP.NET code on the server. That is now done and the wesite is back in business. I still have to restore all the other websites such as Tech-CRM etc. This should happen in the next few days. We are very sorry that the site was down for the last week or so. |

Version 1091 Added new Link Advert |
| 25-Nov-2007 |
Added Awards Page; removed Corps information fromUnitData page as it is redundant now that we have a UnitCorps Tab and modified the UnitCorps Tab to show the full Corps Name not the Short Corps Name |
| 04-Feb-2010 |
Version 1090 Re-arranged layout a little. Removed Title as it forced main body too far down the page |
| 31-Oct-2007 |
Unit Data and Person Data pages will now only have sub-page hyperlinks enabled when there is actually data to display, otherwise the Links will be plain black text. This should make the pages more readable. Location Grids now display Province and not Military District. Have fixed the annoying Overflow error which was caused by a short integer variable being incremented too many times (this was a piece of code that was added to the collection classes about 5 years ago). |

For the last few weeks, the database has been running on a new machine VEGA which replaced the old machine ORION. The new machine is physically a lot smaller as it is based upon a Mini-ITX motherboard which is only 17cm by 17cm! However the new system does have twice the memory and a faster hard disk so performance should still be OK. For full details, please see my web log tech-crm.com. |
