Hi all,
Vanilla are planning an update to the site on April 24th (next Wednesday). It is a major PHP8 update which is expected to boost performance across the site. The site will be down from 7pm and it is expected to take about an hour to complete. We appreciate your patience during the update.
Thanks all.

Purchased a vacuum cleaner - ridiculously cheap warehouse one. Amazon offer a prepaid label for the old vacuum via AnPost. I can't just throw it in the bin. The old one weighs about 9kg. How can they afford to do this?

Amazon loses money on loads of individual transactions. Its all about keeping product moving, cash moving and customers returning.
