My only excuse is that my camera club has had some serious problems with our Clikpic website. So much so that I have spend a lot of the past three days building a replacement site on Webador. FWIW Webador is simply fantastic. We'll be migrating there this week for good.
Don`t seem to have had much fun lately :'(. Anyway re-worked an old one

We certainly did. we're not officially 'live' yet, committees and all that. Still a few blank pages. Have a look - www.eymetphotoclub.webador.com
I think they are missing a trick here - there is a big leap in functionality between the free version and the small business version. I reckon an intermediate package with perhaps just the galleries and slideshows for $3-$4 per month would just fly off the shelves, so to speak.

Tried to look but blocked by Virgin Media who said it`s not a safe site ??? Never had that happen. Didn`t realise Virgin Media had safety settings for me.
Just tell it to ignore for that site. It's because the site has a 'contact us' form so the moronic algorithms see it as a phising site. I had to talk very firmly to malwarebytes too. It did the same thing to the Clikpic site we used to have as well.
I`ve had to request that it be allowed as there is no way of adjusting for that one site. Their protection is either on or off and you have to message them to block or remove blocks on individual websites. Crazy.
Try on your phone or tablet. The mobile implementation is really good. Although if you are with Virgin that maybe that won't work either.
Worked on mobile 4g even though Virgin Media :2funny:. Looks like you play a very active role there. Good luck with it.

Glad you were able to look at it. I put in a review request for our site with the people who run Virgin's blocklist - F-Secure, we'll see what happens.
At the moment, what with C19 restrictions John and I practically run the club. He hosts all the Zoom meetings, I do the website and competitions. We really want to keep it going until our jailers decide we've been good enough for long enough to be released on parole.
It took me probably about 8 hours in total to make the site. The Clikpic site we had before took our previous web bloke, who was already running some other society web sites, the better part of 2 months to get stable. And I use stable loosely. I won't go into details but it's flaky to say the least.
Really can't recommend Webador highly enough at this point. We'll see how it goes in the future.
Just had a reply from the company that runs Virgin Media black lists. They have now marked eymetphotoclub.webador.com as safe. So when the system works through it should be possible for you Paul to access the site from your main browser.
