We will be upgrading these forums to a newer, faster, more featured version tomorrow morning from about 9:30am UK time. It will probably take 2 hours to do.
Some of the many new features are:
Runs on a faster more robust database
Allows on-line spell checking of postings
You can insert pictures directly into your postings
Easily find the last unread post in any thread
Any postings made during the upgrade process will be lost.
We'll post a message here when we have finished the upgrade so you know you can post again.
Thanks for all your support.

Sob..sob... missing you already... but I'm sure the new improved version will be even better. See you in the afternoon.
Mind you talking of new improved does anyone else ever wonder how come the soap powder manufacturers spends millions on advertising their super duper products that get all manner of stains out from any fabric, in fact they're perfect, then 3 months later they bring out the "new improved" one that does all the things they claimed the last one did....or am I just getting too cynical in my old age?

The spell checker will be nice.

Roger,
Ignore my other mail regarding icons - they've re-appeared!
But PM still doesn't seem to right. But that might come back in time as well.
Looks good.
The only thing I can't find is the button to push that takes you to your first unread post. Or has it moved and I can't see it.
Thanks guys

Looking good :D
Kerry I think it's the blue arrow on the right hand side of the bit where you start........... sorry I'm not making it very clear am I?
Hi
Yes I know where you mean , but that takes you to the very last post, and not the first post you haven't read.

That is the button Caroline - it's supposed to take you to the last unread (i.e. not displayed before on your computer) post.
Found it. It's not the blue arrow on the right as that takes you to the end of the posts. It's the purple square on the left which takes you to your first unread post.
Ola everyone!
I've been to Spain for a couple of days (business trip so don't be too envious, although I must say Barcelona was fabulous) and look what's happened? Looks great, I'm just going to spend some time catching up having ploughed my way through the e-mails. My gals were answering the enqs while I was away - half hour calls on the mobile as we went through them! Can't wait for the bills, but I didn't have enough time to use the lap top between all the meetings and the meals!
The little square purple box, still doesn't do what it says it does - Go to first unread post. It takes you to the first post in the thread. Help!!
It's possible that the information about your last visit has been reset, and so it thinks you have not read any posts. If you come out of your browser, then go back in again to the forums it may then mark all the posts as read, and may work from that point.
I've closed by browser, logged out, logged back in and still it goes straight to the first post. Any other ideas?? If I use the arrow it takes me right to the end. Either way I'm scrolling up or down to read any new posts.
Thanks for all your help so far.

I'm finding same as Kerry, the purple folder icon indicates that the thread has new posts but when you click on it it just takes you to the thread i.e. first post and then you have to scroll through.
Thanks Steph
I thought I was going mad:D

Ok. Bear with us - we'll look into it.
I can't see a little purple box at all:(

Me neither - unless it's the purple file?
Sorry everyone, I mean the purple file.
Just testing! If this works it means I can log on to post messages!
