I guess that tends to mean you see errors pop up and disappear which are really out of your sphere of control. Welcome to the distributed web! (I have recently removed CloudShout and Scoutle as the fact that they poll their servers every couple of seconds was doing my head in) Hmm .. re the Javascript error, sites nowadays (particularly this one with it’s busy sidebar) tend to be dependant on script injected from other sources.

I'm leaving my beloved Hosting UK. A small, very helpful company in Wales. I know everyone on the tech team and they are all knowledgeable and accommodating. However, they seem to be losing touch with my needs in a support role and in terms of flexibility of their packages. They have started in VPSs, which I think has been problematic. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them, but for my own support issues (tickets unresolved after weeks) with my VPS I have to send a clear message ... and that is to leave. Turns out I am now at 1&1, which is cheaper, faster, better. Just have to deal with shaky VoIP support lines to the US. VPS has been A1. I think you might have fixed the "console is undefined" JS error, btw. You've avoided being in my list of "Javascript Wall of Shame" (coming soon), though you would be in good company ;) Maybe it was with your WordPress upgrade? Ditto. I’m leaving my beloved Hosting UK.
