We have reinstalled the anti-spam filter on the site, in order to cut down the spam on the site, especailly on the forums, in order to make them a nicer place to be.

Do let us know if there are any particular entries that you would like us to look at.

Apologies to all for the site being offline.

Due to a power failure at our hosting provider, and a subsequent data corruption, we have lost some data from 7 June 2010.

If you entered any visits or posts in the last few weeks, please do check your travel records, as these entries will be missing.

Apologies again, and thanks for bearing with us during the downtime.

Best wishes

the PassportStamp team

Hopefully you will see an improvement in the time taken for pages to load -- one of the external scripts we use was causing page load times to increase. This should have been fixed.

You can now log in to the account from the link in the top right hand corner of the page... hopefully this will make the home page look better on smaller monitors.

We have also added a link http://www.passportstamp.com/travel/random so you can see a random member's travel record.

We have changed to dropdown menus, to allow you to explore the site more easily. Please let us know if you have any comments.

Future visits now appear in yellow on your travel map:

You will now see that travel records list the number of places visited. To add places to your travel record, edit a country visit and add places to that country visit.

We now have 30,000 members!
