Added a new article, Both Sides of the Coin - a Reply, by David Sealy. David is a long-standing friend of the club and a distinguished numismatist. As the title imples, this is a reply to Tony Gilbert's article, and well worth a read!

  • Changed the hit counter - the old one was causing some problems with the page load speed. The new counter will be started at 1100, which is a fair approximation of the true number of visits so far. This is reduced from 1215, which included a considerable number of recent hits from my own testing.
  • I have discovered that the reason the ListBot mailing list was incompatible with the search facility was the form control it added to the HTML of the index page. Unfortunately, all mailing list facilities use this approach for automatic subscription! To get around this problem, I have created a new list at coollist.com and moved the subscription box to a separate page. The link is at the bottom of the home page, as usual, which I have slightly redesigned.

  • Added a message board facility to the bottom of the home page. Please start a 'thread' of numismatic conversation, and let's make it worthwhile!
  • Added four new links.
  • Added a picture of the webmaster (me) to the Numismatic Societies and the Internet article. Next time you e-mail us, you'll know who you're talking to, and will know exactly who to approach for a cup of coffee before the meeting starts, should you ever visit us (you know you want to).

  • New auction list for February 7th 2000. The auction list pages have also been changed to open in a new window for ease of use.
  • Pop-up menu amended as above.
  • Mailing list facility removed due to incompatability with the SiteMiner search engine. I will be looking into different mailing lists and hopefully adding another at a later date.
