New website format is a bit difficult, but otherwise great. I notice however some of the data seemed to be missing. In particular, global map data seems to have been lost. Also I cant seem to be able to view all of my past debris survey data. Included is a screenshot of the map a day or two before the new website layout went up. I took this to post in our forum to celebrate over 500 pieces collected at our survey site as a means to gather enthusiasm and interest. I hope such data can be restored. Otherwise, keep up the great work!

Been a bit busy finishing up my rescue diver course the past few weekends. Next week is a large 5-day national holiday here...so I expect to spend quite a bit up time cleaning up ADS 126.
