Just replied to your email, but to add to it...

The site needed to change, the old forum was a *huge* amount of work for the admin team to keep up with because of the way it handled new requests to join the forum. This forum is a lot more secure, and so activations can be handled automatically, not to mention this forum is a lot more powerful!

Yes it will take a little getting used to, but given an hour or so most can find their way around without too much trouble, especially since the new forum software is the same as many of the more popular sites out there.

Your PM's are found by clicking the green Private Messages link at the top right hand side of virtually any page, then empty out all the old messages and all will work again. PM's can take up rather a lot of space when you consider how many members we have, and when you consider the PM system is purely designed for small short messages there's no need to have 100 sat there doing nothing!

Thanks Shell! I'll have a go, do the pics re-size themselves automatically this way?

[ME SHELL]

Well mine did Jo, but I'm not sure how big the picture was that I chose lol.

[ME SHELL]

Just looked at my pic in my documents and it was quite small to start with. I'll try a different pic to see for you

[ME SHELL]

No Jo it has to be made smaller, the pic I used was small, when I tried a different pic it was to big

[joanna]

Ok thanks

The site is currently being updated - a few pages will have dead links as the new page is uploaded. All will be well shortly.
