what can i say that hasnt been said. good luck with the new forum, it looks a bit funky with the new colours and new features, feels like home already :-) - I hope its more successul than the old one and that everyone can be friends again.
well done to doug and co for all the hard work to make it happen!!
Well it would appear that we are having a few technical difficulties getting everyone on here at the same time, but I have managed to fool my PC into letting me in.
As you'll see Doug has tried to make it as homely as he can and a wonderful job he has made of it too. Langy has spread a few scatter cushions in the Tech area and Ratty has been feeding the hamsters (or should that be badgers) in the Fors Sale and Relay forum.
There are quite a few new features that I'm sure everyone will eventually find.
As you'll see we now have avatars, signatures and even a spot for a photo in your profile!
And a search function that actually searches!!!!
Well, Chin chin, here's to our new home....I'm off to put some shelves up and hang the curtains....make yourself at home.

Ooops sorry, that's those blessed worming tablets for you.
Mark, make sure your Avatar is small enough, I had to really reduce the size of mine, and even then I still got an error message, but it still posted up ok?!?!?

Don't forget your intro though.

I think from memory that you have to click the 'use custom avatar' button below the other one, this then 'unlocks it' and lets you put one up.

Mark, have you activated your smilies etc as that allows full use of the facilities? Link is in Dougs help message.
All present & correct sir. Looks like the fly didn't get into the chamber and we have transmogrified over in one piece!

Er, Guys??? I don't think the door bell is working, I was standing out there for five minutes with no answer, fortunately someone left the back gate unlocked.
I brought a couple of bottles of red to the opening, anyone got a corkscrew?

At last...... Someone told me it was number 79. Stood there knocking at the door only to be greeted by some miserable old sod who said he had no time for "you racer boys, with your souped up rally cars, flashy paint work & squeely smokey tyres". Turns out it was next door at number 77. Maybe some folks sat-nav is taking them elsewhere?
I'm going back to sniff thinners.

Just want to say a big thank you to everybody involved in setting this up. It's too easy to come on here and enjoy things but forget that it took a lot of work to make it happen.

Tony i don't think they can see the button your reffering too, I think it may need enabling.
Seems to be filling up nicely, lots of intros, all we need is to settle down and realise it's business as usual ! Feel free to post as normal once you've done your intro,go on you know you want to, the waters just fine....

So, there is a good reason for having Jon working at the same office as me...

Thanks Doug.
Intro later, got to look busy the boss is about.
Is there a link back to the old forum as its been locked now, just in case we need to use it for reference?
