Just to let y'all know that as my hosting company is upgrading its PHP, the existing database connection strings 'under the bonnet' on the YSO site will not work as they have been deprecated, so I will be working on the coding in the coming days. Shouldn't affect the appearance of the site, but those parts that rely on databases (most of it, in other words) will need to be changed. So you may have to bear with the coding gods for a day or two until everything is redone. For the geeks, it's mainly a question of changing instances of "mysql_" to "mysqli_" in connection and query strings. Sounds like a job for find-and-replace man but I'd rather hardcode from the bottom up, just in case.
