New Home!

13th January 2010

The site is now running at a new home alongside nearby.org.uk. Please be patient if there a few things broken, we are currently testing all features to make sure they work.

We don't intend to change anything - so the site will still look and work the same as it has always done - just with a new admin.

All site functions, including registration of new users, should be now functional.
