Many of you have been experiencing some issues with our site over the last couple of days - especially when trying to use the search function, and in particular the search features within the Members area. The search error has had a knock-on effect on our site...and has been slowing down the general navigation around the site.

We are working flat out to get these problems fixed, and are hopeful to have increased the site speed dramatically within the next few days. The search feature repairs are going to be a bit more complicated as we need to replace some hardware to get it running properly. This work should be completed in a couple of weeks, but in the meantime if you do see the websites search functionality drop off, please send an email to marketing(at)ospreypublishing.com, and we can reset the search function, which will bring it online again (although only temporarily).

Obviously we are very sorry for the hassle and frustration that this has caused any of you, and we do appreciate you all getting in touch to let us know about the problems. On a positive note - we are actually taking this opportunity to upgrade our search function, which ultimately will make searching through our site much easier, quicker and more accurate.

I will keep you up-to-date with our progress and let you all know when everything is up and running smoothly again.
