Hi everyone,

As has already been mentioned, HealthUnlocked will be down tomorrow (the 9th of July) sometime after 9am until around 1pm. But please bear with us if the site isn't back up on time.

There's a video explaining some of the changes on YouTube here :

As you can see this is a fairly major change to the way Health Unlocked works.Please let us know if you have any problems or questions following the change tomorrow.

Regards,

Richard.

PS

I'm really missing being able to search through the Tags. How do I find them?

I have't worked that out yet either.

I preferred choosing my own, but it may change again.
