026.05.09 Your Old Books & Maps yearly review
Your Old Books & Maps yearly review.
Due to rising costs & time required to process, many of our CD-Books have become un-viable for us to continue to produce on disk.
As from today – 26th May 2009, many of our CD-Books are only available individually as downloads. DVD collections will be made available from these products soon.
The products that are now only available as downloads have been greatly reduced in price, with many at up tp 50% lower compared to previous CD prices.
At present, Military products (Army, Navy, RAF & India) are not affected by this change and are available on CD/DVD & as download. This will be subject to on-going review and this may change in the future.
029.04.09 Store upgrade
I have upgraded a couple of modules on our system, the Checkout & the Digital Download modules.
I am hopeful that the occasional errors some customers have been experiencing at checkout has now been resolved with this upgrade.
The download module upgrade means that until I can re-link the files, there may be a short delay before your link is sent.
Thank you.

016.04.09 Email delays to Yahoo/BTInternet
At the moment we are having email problems with BTInternet customers. Emails are routed via Yahoo mail servers and they just don’t seem to like us. Delays in mail delivery are being experienced of up to 24 hours.
We are not having a problem receiving mail – just sending shop invoices and notifications.
This is an ongoing problem that I am unable to resolve due to Yahoo mail support being manned by unhelpful, and seemingly dimwitted – support staff.
Ongoing – but getting nowhere!
