Welcome to the new Forum

Postby admin on Wed, 13 Aug 2008 10:09 +0000

Hi people!

Please bare in mind, I've had a hiccup with all posts being a day ahead so give it some time and eventually all new posts will make it to the top, as of tomorrow!

Let us know if you have any issues with the new forum..

Thanks
Dave

** Update

There is a couple of things that need to be sorted out, some of those are as follows -

1) Appoint the mystery moderators
2) Start moving topics out of "Off Topic" and placing them into their respective categories
3) Setup Subscriber groups, so subscribers are recognized on the forum
4) Cosmetic changes to the layout... Quick reply feature, Last post title on main page, etc.

These are just a few, but within time, we'll get there... so please be patient

Just discovered that all posts need to be moderated before they appear. This is probably unnecessary due to the good nature of the members and slows down the interaction.

Hi Dave

I dont seem to have any of my emails in my Inbox & am sure i would of received some emails in last day or so.
I tried sending you a private message, but its sitting in the outbox. Im not sure if you have received it as its not transferring to the sent items.
Also tried to post this same post 15min ago & the post is not appearing, so am trying again.
Hope it gets through
thanks

Thank you guys for your confidence.

I would agree that posts do NOT need to be moderated before they appear. I approved a few posts late last night but it seems ok now.

I reckon that I would only be merging and moving the threads to the respective categories and not be a policeman here. We are all a mature bunch of 'young at heart' guys who want to play with our toys!!!!! yeeha........

BTW, Mark aka tomuch PM'ed me and we both noticed that some of my posts appear midway in the thread instead of being right at the bottom. Dave, could you have a look at it?

Cheers

Brendon

Dave,
As everyone has said above, well done!
It will be awesome to have categories, and a nice For Sale section.

Cheers,
Sam.
