website upgrade

We are keeping this article up at the top of the page so that people will realise that although we are now publishing articles again and invite comments, candobetter.net is still having work done on it. We have been the target of at least two severe hacking attacks in past two weeks or so, with trouble during the month before that. Our return to full function has been delayed by special precautions to prevent further attacks, plus an upgrade in process. We are very grateful to our hosts at LVPS Hosting for their excellent work on this. You will notice the green padlock in the top left corner, which signifies that the site is safe.

In the process of protecting the site, nearly all accounts have been disabled, including those of the editors (temporarily), in order to screen out any attacks from that quarter. Please write to Sheila or James or contact on candobetter.net and ask for your account to be reenabled and we will send you new passwords. There may be some hiccups over the next few days as our webhosts install new functions. We thank our readers and contributors for their patience and loyalty.

It has been a frustrating time as so much has been happening in Syria, in population and development policy and wildlife policy in Australia. We look forward to articles!
