Hello all. It looks like our site is stable on its new hosting service. Goodbye Server 500 errors! Hooray! It took a quite a bit of work, so apologies for the disruption while it took place. We incurred some costs in making the move, including paying up-front for our new hosting for 3 years. While it is not expensive, the cost does add up over time so we are making this one-off request. If you would like to contribute to covering the expenses, please Buy me a Coffee. [Update: Many thanks for all the contributions. We have, thanks to all the generous coffee-buying, covered our costs already and I’ve removed the link.]
Good, to have the opportunity to express my thanks in a tangible way, for all the work you and the other volunteers do on our behalf..

The new format on an Android phone is awful. One can only view the entire grid if it occupies less than an eighth of the screen. It is to small. Increasing the magnification results in loss of part of the grid. Please sort.
This is nothing to do with the Times for the Times website, but is down to The Times Newspaper.
It’s not provided by us but The Times. You can raise this with The Times via their Contact Us page.
Thank you again for all your hard work.
I was too late to the party. Next time. I use BMAC myself.
I’ve arrived too late to contribute, but I echo the above thanks for all the hard work

I am dyslexic with all things IT.
I use my computer on and off all day.
Some of my happiest moments are when the QC/blog are on the screen.
I am so grateful to strange people like you who enjoy and understand the digital world.
: )
Thanks so much, John and team.
Many thanks from me too. I always enjoy the blog.
arrived too late to contribute £ so can only add my thanks!
I just came here to contribute, but thanks to the generosity of so many others, I too missed the opportunity.
So please just accept my heartfelt thanks – John, Vinyl and all the others who make this site possible 😊😊😊
Another one who arrived too late to contribute so can only offer thanks. Would not be averse to the starstruck approach to covering running costs
I agree, why not keep the coffee-buying link up all the time.
Because we would collect far more than we need to run the site. Our costs are very modest, and we have covered the next three years of hosting.
I was on holiday, so missed the hosting change. Thanks very much John. I am delighted to be able to access the site again.
Got on to the site yesterday and thought I’d contributed, but cut off just as payment going through. Just wanted to thank you for all your hard work which adds so much to the pleasure of crossword solving.
Thank you to everyone who keeps this site up and running, as well as to our lovely bloggers. I’ve learned an awful lot here and am very grateful to you all!
