Stress and strain

Hello. The past week has been pretty hectic after the mention in The Guardian our traffic spiked and well, we seem to have got lots more buyers and sellers on board (hello, again!). This has come at the cost of slowing the site down a bit and at our resources being pulled away from support into other areas. We’re migrating Folksy on to a new server infrastructure this week that will help to deal with the increased demand and we’re shifting resources from testing International Shipping (which has gone well – only the odd amend and will launch early next week) into answering your emails. If you have emailed in the last week or so and not received a reply we’re *very* sorry. We’re on it…

12th March UPDATE: the migration was successful and anecdotal evidence (and our own testing) is showing some noticeable speed increases. Yay!
