25 June 2010 - Search Page Repaired
Early in the month of June, our websites were migrated from an
older server at our website hosting service to a much newer one.
The new server offers dramatically faster load times for our site.
This server change resulted in implementation of a later version
of the Front Page web extensions, and caused the Search page
on our website to fail, usually with "404" (page not found) errors.
Correction required changes to be made at the server, and also
in our site code, but the Search page now works better than ever.

01 February 2010 - Product Lines Restructured
Emissive Energy Corporation, creators of the highly-respected
INOVA brand of tactical and specialty flashlights, have officially
sold the entire brand line to Nite Ize Inc. Emissive Energy Corp
retains ownership of manufacturing and distribution operations
for the INFORCE line of premium military flashlights. Our web-
site has been restructured to differentiate the two product lines.
We are proud to offer both of these top quality flashlight brands.

04 January 2010 - Shipping Charges Revised
We regret that as of midnight on Sunday, January 3 (Monday
morning) we must finally increase our shipping charges again,
to compensate for increases in parcel costs from commercial
carriers and substantial rate changes from the United States
Postal Service. Our standard charges for online orders have
increased by forty-five cents (US$0.45) for each merchandise
value tier. Click here to see our revised shipping charges. As
before, our actual shipping costs for the majority of orders we
process will continue to be higher than the amount you pay us
for delivery. Substantial ($1.95+) overpayments are refunded.

versatile ICON line of premium quality designer flashlights. Our

dated subweb provides additional details and more pictures.

13 May 2007 - Shipping Charges Revised
For more than five years, we have maintained the same low
shipping and handling charges, although facing rising carrier
costs and fuel surcharges. We regret that as of midnight on
Saturday May 12 (Sunday morning) we must finally increase
our shipping charges, to compensate for increases in parcel
costs from commercial carriers and substantial rate changes
from the United States Postal Service. Our standard charges
for online orders will increase by fifty-five cents (US $0.55) for
each merchandise value tier. Click here to see the new rates.
As before, our actual shipping costs for most of the orders we
process will continue to be higher than the amount you pay us.
For example, we now charge $4.50 to ship a pack of MagLite
bulbs, but your speedy Priority Mail delivery will cost us $4.60.

05 June 2010 - Website Availability & Response Time
During May and June of 2010, several very intensive Denial of
Service attacks have been launched against one or more of the
domains managed by our web hosting provider. These attacks
flood the hosting servers with enormous numbers of page calls,
in an attempt to overload the servers and render their websites
unusable. Although our hosting provider makes every possible
effort to recover quickly from these assaults, they have resulted
in several brief service outages of Flashlights Unlimited and its
sister websites (see names listed below). During the outages,
our websites may become completely inaccessible, or loading
intervals may stretch to several minutes per page. If you exper-
ience these problems, please try to visit with us again in about
one hour, as most attacks will be resolved and abolished within
that timeframe. Rest assured that the McAfee Secure (formerly
Hacker Safe) system continues to scan this website every day,
searching for any signs of corruption. Look for McAfee Secure
certification marks at the bottom left corners of all pages on the
Flashlights Unlimited website (click one for additional details).
The following websites have experienced brief service outages:
flashlightsunlimited.com (this website)
flashunltd.com (redirects to flashlightsunlimited.com)
flashlights.ws
thegypsyquilter.com
thegypsygripper.com (redirects to thegypsyquilter.com)
edensgardens.com

30 January 2004 - Website Content Improved
The text content of every page has been analyzed and adjusted
to ensure that only web-safe (216-color palette) colors are used
throughout the site. This may improve readability for some web
browsers and operating system platforms. The size of the page
header has been dramatically reduced, so that less scrolling will
be required for access to navigation features and page contents.
Structure and content of the Home page have been reorganized.

|
20 May 2002 - Browser Compatibility Issues Eliminated
In order to ensure that the web site is consistently accessible to the
greatest possible number of users, hover buttons and certain other
exotic web elements have been replaced with conventional images.
Hyperlink buttons incorporating custom graphics have replaced the
auto-generated navigation bars and the problematic hover buttons.
|
|
15 May 2002 - Thumbnails Reduce Load Times
Page loading times have been greatly reduced through the use of
thumbnailed images, for the individual product description pages.
In addition, you can now click on most of the product images to get
an enlarged view of the picture for more detail. You can close the
additional browser window that is opened, after viewing the picture.
