I doubt whether our forum will carry any weight! Those responsible at FMP won't be monitoring the SOG forum - they are too busy trying to placate the many contributors to their Facebook page who are either complaining about the new system or the sudden slowness of the old. There are repeated assurances that issues will be sorted out - I hope for your sake they do this before transferring any more subscribers. I am surprised that a commercial organisation releases a new system with so many obvious deficiencies. From the comments seen they have lost a lot of good will and potentially a loss of revenue.
