Hi everyone, Due to technical issues with VNC earlier today, we've moved the entire site to a new server (Virtual Machine). This is why the site was briefly offline. We had planned to do this anyway, but brought this forward due to the issue mentioned. We're now fully operational on the new server. If you notice any issues, please let us know. Please note, we had to update the DNS settings, and it may take some time for these changes to take effect globally. A small number of users may experience temporary access issues, but this should resolve automatically. The new server (VM) has twice the amount of memory (32GB), double the amount of CPU cores (16) and faster storage. Running the site does incur ongoing costs, and Canal World is fully funded by its members. To help keep us operational for years to come, please consider making a donation here. Thank you! Rich

This should be fixed now. Should this happen again I always recommend posting a topic in this forum like you have done here - I will receive a notification on my phone as soon as you do so. On a separate note: Please kindly do not use the report post feature to report technical issues as I won’t have immediate visibility of it. Cheers

We will be updating the login system on Monday, 24th February. After this update, you’ll need to log in using your registered email address instead of your display name, if you aren’t already doing so. Why is this changing? This update is necessary to maintain software compatibility with Invision’s latest features and improvements, as well as to enhance security and streamline password recovery and account management. What you need to know: Your display name stays the same – other members will continue to see it as usual Your email address remains private – it will only be used for login purposes Your password won’t change, unless you choose to update it If you use Google or Microsoft to log in, this change won’t affect you To check which email address is linked to your account, visit the Account Settings page. More details are available in the Announcements forum. Thanks, Rich

We have updated the forum software to the latest version of Invision to apply various software bug & security fixes. This is not a major update although some minor differences may be noticed. However, the overall look, feel and functionality of the site remains unchanged. Should you encounter any oddities, please first clear your browser cache and if the issue remains, do let us know.

Please may I ask that we remain respectful to the OP and his wife and refrain from potentially spreading any misinformation or false rumours. This is not helpful. Thanks.

I was just thinking - do you have any more photos? Perhaps a clear one showing the boat from the side? I can display it on our homepage.

Sorry to hear about this. I have "Featured" this topic - so that it will appear in everyone's email notification feed (for those who have subscribed) All the best

I agree with this. I use Microsoft Defender also and don't pay for third party AV and haven't done for the last 10 years. Back in the day MS Windows was unprotected out of the box and somewhat exposed, but now Microsoft Defender does a good job. To remain competitive, other third-party alternatives include other features such as comprehensive identity theft protection, VPN services, and cross-platform support. Additionally, certain protections like phishing safeguard and parental controls. These are nice to have but if you're savvy and cautious, they are not necessarily essential. Although AV is very important, it's also important to ensure you have effective firewall controls in place, both at a software and hardware level. - Most home routers include basic firewall functionality and it's usually possible to optimise the settings.

I think best thing to do in this instance is to report any you feel that no longer required to be pinned and give brief explanation why. (e.g. very old / no longer relevant etc) The Moderator team will then review collectively and decide what needs to be done.

Thanks for the feedback / votes so far, it seems there's definitely some interest. With this in mind, if anyone is interested in being a Photographer for Canal World to share new and existing photography, please feel free to let me know.
