Bookmarks
The Bookmark function has been running for 6 months. I was never happy with its implementation, but I couldn’t find anything better.
However, I now find that is interfering with other parts of the site, slowing things down, and leaving remnants of itself in the oddest of places.
So I will be switching the function off at the end of July 2018.
All is not lost: every web browser has a similar function, called either Bookmarks or Favourites. Simply create Bookmark/Favourite folders in your browser, then when you have found a page on my site that you know you will want to keep returning to, just use your browser’s bookmark function.
I will leave the function on this site running till the end of July in order to give you time to duplicate any bookmarks you have made on my system, but after that date all bookmarks on my site will be deleted.

New Mobile Menu Button
The menu structure on the website is quite extensive. No problems on desktops and laptops, where you click to reveal a submenu, but on mobile devices you had to do a lot of scrolling.
So I have introduced an optional Menu button, which will appear at the top-right of mobile devices. It’s the green and white stripy icon, but I may have a play with the colours.
Cheers,

Out-of-copyright files
About 9 months ago I realised that the storage capacity on my server was fast approaching full. My current hosts wanted to charge quite a large amount of money to add extra storage, so I researched other options.
I decided to use Dropbox to store out-of-copyright files, and started the long process of going through and updating them before transferring them over.
Despite my careful research, this decision hasn’t proved the correct course of action. Many of you were experiencing difficulties in downloading the files, mainly because a different procedure had to be followed.
It has proved to quite confusing to you, my members, so today I bit the bullet and purchased more space on my existing host.
In future I will be putting all my files onto my usual server. It will take me a while to transfer all those out-of-copyright files back, but will start on it immediately.
This will mean that there will be just the one, trusted, procedure for playing or downloading my files, save for the differing quirks of the myriad of mobile devices and browsers.
Cheers,
JohnF
