I have not heard anything from Bill. He's a busy guy, so I'm sure it is on the "back burner," so to speak. I'm sure we'll all find out, once plans for a move have been made. He probably will have to shut down the site for a few days while file transfers take place. I recall two prior site changes since I've been frequenting j-pouch.org.

I'm a professional web developer and designer so any help I can provide I will do.
Bill, do you need help?
Are we talking about a design refresh here or a whole new system?

It is not the web design so much, but the maintenance cost that is eating him up. This one has outrageous costs if you go over the page view limits. I did give him information on some reasonable web hosting companies.

apparently its not a huge deal to him regarding the costs or we would have moved forward already. its been months since this was brought up. I understand hes busy but why keep losing money on this site, lets get moving..

Thanks for the update. You are quite right, hosting for this site should be in the region of £5 ($8) per month. It might be worth swapping out the engine and replacing it with a more environmentally friendly PHP version rather than this javascript version.
Bill, please don't take this as a criticism, this site has served me and many others so very well and it works perfectly. It's just a thought that if the site is going to move then it might be a good time to change it.
I'm glad to help in anyway I can.
If the site stays as it is - as long as all the hrefs are relative and not absolute then it should be a pick up, move, plug back in situation.
