To help handle the load, the site for non-logged-in users is cached, but will refresh every hour. So new posts will be delayed slightly from being shown.
For logged-in users, there is no caching, so you will see everything as it is posted.

@Robin On Chrome, for me, it keeps me logged in even when the tab is closed, so possibly third-party software could be logging you out.Thanks,
CallumHi Paul,
yes, scrapping bots were the problem – we’ve installed some blocking software.
Some consequent config changes are causing the image display problem, which we are looking into the best solution for.
Thanks for everyone’s patience. You can always click the image link to see the full size picture.

There seem to be a couple of residual problems following the steps taken to resolve the recent performance problem.
This problem also occurs on Safari, so probably not browser specific.
Thanks for your patience while we try to resolves these.
Please let us know if you see any other issues.
Thanks,
CallumnThe enhanced audio versions of last weeks meeting talks are now available on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/@britishastronomical/videos
Some of the Q&A answers are still a bit sketchy.
Thanks,
CallumHi Donald,
I just tried, and it worked for me, so it might be a browser issue.
You can get in touch by email too – deepsky@britastro.org
Thanks,
CallumI think one of the Education & Outreach section’s aims is to create such a repository.
Would be best to contact them or join their mailing list to get involved

To avoid having two topics on this I have deleted my post which I posted simultaneously (almost) with Bob.
My post read:
“Members will be sad to hear that Owen Brazell died in an RTA on Monday morning (16th March), just a few miles from his home, on his way to the Kelling Heath Spring Star Party.Owen was the UK’s leading Deep-sky visual observer, and will be sorely missed.”

CallumHi Paul,
it was marked as spam because you made a couple of rapid edits of the reply. I have approved it.
With the anti-spam package we use it is not something we have control over, sorry.

Hi Bill,
I have not heard of anyone having such a problem – and I did not have a problem when I recently booked the Comet meeting.
I don’t recall the format I used but it would either have been 07XXX XXXXXX or 07XXXXXXXXX
Callum
Paul,
I found your post in the forum spam box, but have approved it.
I think if you do multiple edits in quick succession, this may trigger a spam action.

Certainly not present in my meteor cam capture at 02:39 this morning.
