Please note that we're currently finalising/ testing new discussion board software and intending to transfer in the next few days.
The new board will have improved features and will allow basic formatting, easy link and image insertion and so on.
BUT users WILL need to register before posting.
All old posts from this board will be transferred (but shown as being from the old board).
Thanks for your patience,
Kavita
Have to add a HUGE thanks to AskCy for some inspired 'breaking' during the testing phase :-)
Yes, thanks Pete, I should have added that thanks too...
AskCy has helped tremendously as he's tested things Pete and I didn't even THINK of! A perfect tester!
Thank you from me too Steve. I have been hearing about how much work you have been doing behind the scenes!

Pete, one question, does it have a spell checker and does it have a search facility for topics already discussed?
Mum, nope and nope.
And it won't ever have a spell checker either.
Search will likely come at a later date.
I've not checked this out properly yet, but I've just downloaded the latest version of "firefox" (another internet browser) and it seems to underline in red any miss-spelt words (including "firefox" instead of "Firefox" ! )
Steve
That's not our site - thats your options/ preferences in Firefox...
No worries! Thanks for checking it in other browsers too - mum seems to have stopped testing after about 5 minutes so you're our main hope - it's often harder to test something you're closely involved in as you simply don't THINK of the ways people might do either simply by accident or in deliberate attempts to cause mischief. So your "destructive" testing is most helpful!
Mum has stopped testing because;
a. She doesn't know how to get back into it! Once she closed the link you sent, it is gone and SHE doesn't know how to get it back!
b. Have had constant supply of guests coming and going for last two months and am beginning to flake out a bit :-)!
c. Different topic; I have learnt to write CD on the new computer and have many photoes loaded for you on one, with many, many more still in my files. If you come home while I am away, you can take them with you and start posting!
Love
Mum
Bah, excuses excuses...
By the time mum gets back from Ireland (off today) we'll have the new board up and running!
Sorry for delay - it's down to me - I'm writing a proper, robust Registered Users Agreement and it's taking longer than I thought to get it right... won't be long now!
I think so but let us know if we've missed anything - I think Pete worked through your/my bugs/suggestions lists...
