There are a number of reasons that I put it there... things like auto expiration of ads, parts categorization, standard image management, ad history, sorting etc. I have never really restricted what goes in there, personal, commer...

All seems to be back up again fine, let me know if anyone notices anything strange or not working properly.

Hopefully I've migrated all the email accounts correctly for the mail importing, and things like file upload limits etc... but you never know.

Hi All, apologies but we are doing some server shuffling tonight which means the site will be down... likely for one... or a few hours. We'll be trying to minimise the downtime... but for the techos there will be some DNS updates meaning it will take a while to resolve again from everywhere. cheers z

Hi Ian... don't consider it really 'dead' until you have tried a proper charger designed for AGM batteries... you really need to charge at a slightly higher voltage for a long period to get good use out of it if it has recently been depleted.

FAQ: MX5 Battery. Where is it, what type is it and charging

Some useful information on batteries, specifically the AGM style is here: http://www.windsun.com/Batt...
