Triumphant upgrading of our Mailing List software - phplist

We have been using phplist as our mailing list software for some time, partly because it allows users to manage their own subscription, and partly so it can be used both from home and from Museum.

We had a bit of a disaster with it as two of us were using it at the same time and some glitch deleted Old Operating Theatre Museum membership - did not delete the emails but deleted membership. I 'fixed' it by joining up all those with no membership back to the OOT list. Rough and ready but not too much damage. I also uploaded people from our idealist database.

Having done that I decided to upgrade to the latest version as this plugs various security holes. I have been dreading doing this as it is a geek thing requiring knowledge of php potentially. But in the event it was a piece of cake AND the new version is an improvement - we can now see the icons for bold, underline, justify etc which were not visible on the old version.

The LDA - London Development Agency divides London up as follows: I have no idea who made these decisions but clearly some are not so obvious. For example, Southwark is in the Central Region but the City is in the Eastern Region given that all the bridges across the Thames in Southwark join up with the City this seems crazy! A report which discusses the issue of dividing up London can be seen here. Central sub-region Camden Islington Kensington & Chelsea Lambeth Southwark Wandsworth Westminster North sub-region Barnet Enfield Haringey Waltham Forest East sub-region Barking & Dagenham Bexley Corporation of London Greenwich Hackney Havering Lewisham Newham Redbridge Tower Hamlets South sub-region Bromley Croydon Kingston Merton Richmond Sutton West sub-region Brent Ealing Harrow Hammersmith and Fulham Hillingdon Hounslow
