MALWARE NOTICE ... many thanks to persons who have kindly reported this notice, which appears in some browsers. A new PC or software was installed in May which was exploited to introduce some bug... steps were taken at once to have it removed and they were successful. For good reasons, many browsers record and notify such events - if you follow the link on any such warning notice it will explain what happened and when, and confirm the current status of the page or site.
Such a notice normally lasts for 90 days, but to avoid confusion we have asked for a final precautionary sweep of our site and we hope that if all is well the warning notice will be lifted. If it does continue to appear (normally in connection with Corncrake) please do advise Kevin Byrne.
Meantime, we apologise for the disruption to The Corncrake's schedule; the malware created a lot of additional work for the editor. On a brighter note, a serious attempt to bring the archive up to date is planned for early autumn.
RESULTS OF 2011 COMMUNITY SURVEY
