It looks like the problem with Facebook posts being removed as spam is pretty widespread & affecting many news publishers, so although frustrating it's not anything we've done.
The good news is that most visit the main site directly & many more subscribe to the newsletter than follow our Facebook page. We have had two previous Facebook pages removed & this made very little difference to our daily traffic, but I'll continue posting & try to get to the bottom of the issue.

A new link has been set up to make it easier to share multiple events from the same person/venue/club.
For example, https://www.nfed.co.uk/calendar/search.php?ref=shedfield will list all events from Shedfield Equestrian.
https://www.nfed.co.uk/calendar/search.php?ref=tooley will list all events from Rebecca Tooley & so on. Just change the last part to include the name, keep it simple & no spaces.
Copy & paste it wherever you want to share the events or send it to friends, members, clients.
Each individual event still has it’s own link, which can be seen using the share buttons at the top.
Improved Event Tags The new diary uses tags rather than categories. Multiple tags can now be added to an event, clicking on a tag will show other events with the same tag.Many new tags have been added & others will be added as required.
Having a play with the diary is far better than trying to explain it here!
Don't forget to try the three different views: Monthly, Agenda & Pinboard

Have you seen this trailer?
The livestock trailer was stolen from a farm in Meonstoke overnight from Wednesday 25 September into the following morning.
It had been securely locked to a vehicle and parked next to other vehicles, however the lock was broken off and the trailer wheeled across fields to avoid overlooking buildings.
There are distinctive yellow FFA Fight for British Agriculture stickers on it.
If you think you have seen this trailer or have any information on its whereabouts, then please call 101 and quote reference 44240417917.

A bit random, but if you live in or love the New Forest, you need to read or listen to this book on Audible. I’ve lived here all my life, but learnt so much, I can’t recommend it highly enough & the great thing with Audible, you can enjoy the story whilst still getting all those jobs done!
SummaryFew places lie closer to the heart of the nation's heritage than the New Forest. Now, Edward Rutherfurd weaves its history and legends into compelling fiction. From the mysterious killing of King William Rufus, treachery and witchcraft, smuggling and poaching run through this epic tale of well-born ladies, lowly woodsmen, sailors, merchants and Cistercian monks.
The feuds, wars, loyalties and passions of generations reach their climax in a crime that shatters the decorous society of Jane Austen's Bath and whose ramifications continue through the age of the Victorian railway builders to the ecologists of the present day.

The new calendar has three viewing options, Monthly, Agenda & Pinboard. As the built in menu was a little on the small size, new larger buttons have been added to the top of the calendar.
All three views are very different & useful, so feel free to have a play.
If you don’t see the buttons, try refreshing the page.
I have found a slight issue where listings that do not have a map displayed fail to load correctly. All the details are there, but the formatting is incorrect.
All advertisers affected have been contacted with options to show the map.
UPDATE 22-09-24The majority of advertisers contacted have happily had the maps turned on. The remaining listings that have not got back to us, now have the maps turned on with rough area showing. No personal details have been shown, nearly all have the same details are already showing on their own websites or social media pages.
As I haven't had any joy with the software company, this is the only way to get around this issue, get everything working & move on.
The submission form has been updated to give the following Map & Address Options

The site has now been migrated to the new server & the old server disabled. There will be connection issues to start with as the IP address has changed, different ISPs will take a while to refresh & find the new site, this can take a few days to settle down.
If you see a “This Account has been suspended” message, you are seeing the old server.
If you have any problems, please first refresh the page, then clear your internet history & try again.
The site is now running on a faster server with the latest software. Some of the older sections weren’t compatible with the newer software, so have been updated or changed completely, such as the event diary.
All data (classifieds, directory listings & events) have been copied across. The news pages were mainly old news, so will be started again on the new system.
Don’t forget that the old event diary has been replaced, so any previous event links will not work, but should take you to the new diary. Events can now be shared individually using the links at the top.
There will aways be teething problems, but I will try to sort these out as they come up.
This has been a huge & unexpected operation. To be honest I had to seriously consider whether to do it, or simply shut the site down & enjoy my retirement. But now it is nearly completed, I’m glad I decided to stick with it & hopefully the site will be ok for a few more years yet!
