With the release of the 2.6 Patch release, we are aware of some minor issues that require workarounds (an interim process you can use to bypass an issue). These issues will be rectified in a future upgrade as part of our ongoing improvements and maintenance programme.
Depending on how you use Landonline, you may not even be aware of them, however, we have developed some workarounds should you encounter any.
These are detailed below.
