See post #70, this was posted by Azz while I was creating this post so I didn't see it.

The new server has 4 TB of hard disk space
that means you'll be able to upload lots and lots of images (the old server had 500 GB of HD space, which is 0.5 TB). I am currently working on another site, and when that is done I will start working on Over50s - but I'll keep you all updated
Hope you're all well and keeping safe!

Will the "other site" use the new software? Perhaps you can direct us to it when it is complete to see if we like the new software.
Three decades ago I started running a BBS on a DOS based 286 computer with a 65Mb hard drive, a few weeks later I bought another 65MB HDD, the bloke I bought the computer from commented, "What on earth do you need 130Mb of hard disk space for?" Yet 4TB seems almost tiny these days, I have USB powered HDDs that size.

However I am sure you'll be fine - it may take some getting used to to begin with, but it's much better than the software we are currently using

For example once what we now use as thumbnails was once the largest practical size for a photo on a web page because dial up speeds made anything larger take too long to load.
