Yeah, sorry, that release was needed though to get people who run multiple instances working again.

Yes, I noticed that your pages are "in maintenance" today and missing the Ajax updates, and see that even static information like your weather station type is missing on that index page, suspect you could reduce the upload content you process every 5 seconds if you added to the basic page those items that rarely change.

Apologies for that - my gateway proxy server hadn't started up for some reason after I rebooted my router. I don't actually upload anything - all calls are proxied back to either my LAN webserver or the API that MX exposes. You are correct in that some things on that page don't really need to be dynamic - but it's been like that for ages and I can never seem to find the time to make changes.

I had to reboot my router because I had made a change to my network infrastructure.

Accepted, I was trying to see if my new sensor screening was working. With your site back, my spreadsheet comparison for whole of April so far is perplexing, but I will give it another day or two.

I have just installed build 3071 on a Raspberrypi.
When I enable the 'Moon' option i get this error and then the program stops. Any ideas please.

Note- everything works fine on my linux laptop, so it must be something in the rpi. Ah well!

It is something missing from mono. What version of mono do you have installed? And did you install "mono-complete"

Why is it perplexing?

Ah, that makes sense. Using mono 3. Program been behaving it's self for ages so I was leaving it alone.
So I guess it's time to do an update.
Thank you
Philip

I think Mono has supported System.Drawing since version 2, but those old versions (2 & 3) may have to complied with the option enabled - not sure. But version 3 was superseded in April 2015 anyway, so maybe it is time for an upgrade!

I have completely upgraded the firmware on the rpi3. I installed the latest mono version 6 and the moon was back-to-front. I downgraded to mono v5 and everything works as it should.
Excellent.
Thank you for your help. Much appreciated.
Cheers
Philip
