In a triumph of technology, we decided that now would be the perfect moment to experiment with some of the more exotic settings of the file synchronisation process used by ChaosCentral. In an unexpected development, the synchronisation process became very streamlined as the contents of every file was erased before uploading to the webserver!
Whilst this "improvement" a) speeds up file transfer and b) adds a uniformity to the images (everything is blank), it seems to be somewhat sub-optimal if people want to view actual content.
So, we have just regenerated and reloaded all the web pages and put this little experiment down to a learning experience...
