Error pages look like the rest of the site

Server errors, expired forms and garbled links now show a South Bend Watch Co page with a way back to the homepage.

Every shared watch has a summary

Watches without a written description now show their year, grade, jewels and size when you share them or find them in search.

Fixed an error on some content pages

Top-level content pages with nothing beneath them showed an error. They now load normally.

Missing pages show a not found page

Links to pages and watches that don't exist now show a not found page instead of an error.

Ads, postcards and signs load faster

Images on ephemera pages now come from a nearby cache and only load as you scroll to them.

Watch photos load faster

Watch photos now come from a nearby cache and only load as you scroll to them.

The members and archive pages are much faster

The Members, Grades and Models pages could take 8 to 11 seconds to load. They now load far faster.
