IMHO - new look sucks dog balls. Seriously this is just shite. The files section simply doesn't allow access anymore. If someone has found a way to upload photo's, well come clean and explain how it's done...I haven't found a way.

I would be interested to no if the issues are "browser specific" ie, works with IExplorer. I use Firefox simply because it's the most secure browser I have found (once a few addons are installed) I won't use IE as MS still has API's that stop websites properly rendering in non MS browsers (why web designers don't stop using things like silverlight is beyond me - simply slaves to a master) and though Chrome is quick it is also one giant vacuum transmitting your private info (ie what sites you go to etc etc) back to HQ - Google. I live in a free country where I GET TO CHOOSE, not get forced like a sheep to do what others want me to do....sorry, rant over, we have an election in my country this weekend..lol

We have elections too in Germany. Same procedure as always. Same as going to a pizzeria and have the choice out of 20 pizzas. Instead of thinking about to go to a greek restaurant or a steakhouse. Because one doesn't like pizza at all. It is so ridiculous: German sheep run to the election halls, choose a pizza and change nothing like generation before. German sheep are well conditioned: Give them an iPhone and a fat car and they will function in the sense of productivity. And german sheep always think, they live in a free country. And most german sheep run all browsers in parallel, because that's stylish.
Soooory, off-topic!!!! :-)

This is hilarious... Now I can't reach the files either. Good work of
yahoogroups to block the moderator. Can we assume that it's temporarily
closed and waiting for an upgrade/update?

Anyway, I'll contact them to let them know what we feel about this!

Check the files section again

2013-09-04 by jesper

I think I might have solved it - it seems to have been a software bug in
the transition to the new site. I didn't change anything, but I did save
the current sections and now got in.

There's an article up on The Register that mentions problems with the new
interface:

Meanwhile, no elections here in the UK, but we have discovered that Prince
Charles is trying to run the country X-(
