Could the great people at Empeg keep the website updated more often. I know that you are concentrating your time where it is needed, but many new people will just see the web page, not this forum. These are the people that you need to get the most recent information to, as quick as possible. So that they don't leave the site and never come back.

Thanks

I have to admit I'm in agreement here. The web site has had no maintainence for months now, is out of date on several technical details, has got busted graphics on the front page, and hasn't even got links to the last two newsletters. Now should really be the time to get the cosmetics up to scratch, considering that empeg is shipping; it should be emblazoned in big flashing letters across the page. Instead, it looks like an abandoned site.

How much are you paying your site maintainers, Hugo? It's too much!

Give me the sources, provide a web host, and I'll maintain it for you for nothing. Now then, can' say fairer than that, can thee lad?

I updated it yesterday - one problem was people linking to the old site (ie past index.html) and so missing the updated pages...

Why don't you now get www.empeg.com changed in the DNS so it points
to the new US site?

If we switch www.empeg.com to the US server we'll have to throw away our secure certificate, used by the online ordering system.

Seems a bit of a waste, as they're not cheap.

Isn't the certificate's supposed to follow the DNS rather then the IP?
Would be silly otherwise.
