I've been keeping my eye on their Twitter and Facebook pages all morning - there were quite a few comments from users  on FB but they seem to have been removed.

(I'm a member of neither but do have a look at them now and again  ;D  )

Me too Gadget,
just been reading through some of the comments  on FB, there are a lot of unhappy people on there.
Personally I would rather things were sorted out properly instead of having problems down the line.
Maybe they will offer some free credits , here's hoping.

Update on new ScotlandsPeople website

As most of you will be aware, the new ScotlandsPeople website was scheduled to launch today (Monday 26 September).

While every effort has been made to meet this deadline, it has become apparent that we need a bit more time to test the new site and satisfy ourselves that it is completely ready for launch.

We now expect the new ScotlandsPeople website to go live within the next few days.

Remember, once you log-in to the new site for the first time you will see that your credits, saved images and searches are all be available.

Thank you all for your continued patience and support. We’re sorry for the inconvenience caused and look forward to welcoming you to the new site soon.
