A software update this afternoon has caused an elderly WordPress plug-in to malfunction, resulting in an error which created display abnormalities. This plug-in generated the ‘paged comments’ in the above two posts. To avoid the error I have had to disable the plug-in so please accept my apologies for having to scroll down through several hundred comments in order to reach the more recent ones. I am looking into a way round this and will hopefully find a solution before too long.
