Dear all,
I wrote to Dave to ask about GoY not working properly and he told me this :-

“I am told that the structure of the GOY website has to be reconfigured for various reasons. The work to do that is ongoing, and is the cause of the disruption. It is a slow process as some of the original coders are no longer available. I do not have a timescale for the work, but I will let you know when I get one.

Apologies to all."

I think this helps us understand the difficulties we’re having with GoY at the moment, and that it also helps us persevere with things as they are for now.

Lets enjoy the rest of the summer and our gardens :)

Thank you Hywel for doing that for us...we will be patient and see how things transpire come early Autumn.

Thanks for sorting this Hywel and to Dave for all he's done and doing. Appreciated.

Thanks for doing this Hywel. At least now we know and it will be worth putting up with it for now knowing that it will be sorted eventually.

Hywel, that's really helpful information and will help us all to understand why problems are occurring. I shall stay with the site for as long it exists ... :o))

Thanks very much Hywel, for making enquiries on our behalf. When the situation is frustrating, it’s a big help to have an explanation, and I suspect that most of us now feel more positive about carrying on.

As you suggest, let’s relax and enjoy our gardens 🙂.

Thank you Hywel, yes we must have patience and let them get in with updating it.

Thank you for your efforts Hywel.

Thanks for getting in touch with Dave, Hywel! Please thank Dave for giving us this explanation. Like others I will continue to "stick around" while the upgrade is in place.

Hywel, I have managed to publish a blog this evening without adding single photos on beforehand. Great news!

That's certainty good news, Shirley!

Sadly Hywel I have nearly given up with Goy as it has been so difficult to use.
I do look though and enjoy seeing what is on here.
I really hope it can be fixed.

Thanks Shirley, I shall have a look at your blog later on .

I also feel like giving up on it Wildrose but I still have a look now and again just for curiosity, hoping things will have improved.

Most days I come on GoY but I was nearly tempted to give it up at the beginning of July! 😥It coincided with my attempts to write a couple of blogs - something I've hardly done in the last few years. I was bit disheartened at first but I kept coming back hoping it would have been fixed. Finally it looks like it has been! 🤞

Thanks so much, Hywel! It’s been quite a difficult couple of months hasn’t it! This gives us much hope.

Thanks Hywel, that is really good to know, it means someone is trying to work on it for us, I was beginning to think we had been abandoned, I will certainly stick with it, I actually spend a lot of time browsing through blogs from when it all started and as you know that was a very long time ago...

Thanks so much Hywel. I thought we were going to lose the site. Thank you for finding this out.

I will add my thanks also Hywel. Looks like I will be posting my garden pictures this winter in order to allow time for goy to be updated. Unfortunately many of these sites (that are long in the tooth) will become unreadable as the technology advances. In any case, looking at my garden photos will keep me toasty warm this winter since the weather has been horribly dry and very hot for most of summer from where I sit across the pond. Kudos to Dave for your effort!
