Happy new year to everyone.
we also hope for more updates in 2026.
The last months of 2025 were dominated by 2 issues that created time consuming efforts.
One was the forced move of the site, triggered by the closing of the site where our servers resided.
It forced some reorganization and the exchange of 2 of our servers, including some more changes to the hard and software.
Frustrating, because at the end of the process, we were exactly where we were before that move.
The other issue was even worse.
The payment provider we use, completely change the software platform and it required a rewrite of the entire interface. (They merged into a very large company and adapted their payment software).
It might be more secure now than before, but the new system is much more complex than the previous one.
Also this change had a January 1st deadline and at the end of the process, we are exactly where we were before.
Using it you would not know that it is a new system. it works as before.
It seems that we will be able to add payment methods quite easily.
Our Paypal payment option remained unchanged but also Paypal is making many changes to messages during the payment process and automatic processing is frequently disrupted by changes to the format and content of their messages.
All this had a January 1st deadline and thus now operational.
