Agreed Lyffe. Seven years of forensic research into a WW2 crash site in France (said to have been the only one conducted via the internet) extending over 64 pages with a photographic record of items found would simply disappear.

Khalem, I note your latest comments. My trawl through this thread has indicated the following items giving concern which I presume have been passed on to the development team. I may have missed some. I quite understand that some things will be quick fixes and others will take longer. I hope you will therefore be able to update us all on what is being actioned now and what will take further time.
