Thanks for your nice comments, folks.
The real power behind this site is my son, Stephen. He has sorted all the things that needed to be bought to get this site like this – making it work for the least amount of money. I think he’s done a brilliant job and it seems you do too. He will be responsible for the security of the site and sorting out all the little glitches that will occur from time to time (like the capital letters in the Forum! He’s working on that now)
Photos will go in the Forum, Fred – just like the old Photo Gallery but shuffled in with the Forum posts. It’s maybe not as convenient, but it all started to get difficult to create, with the purchase of yet more ‘plug-ins’ needed to make it all work.
As far as PMs are concerned, the same difficulties started to raise their head – I had to call a halt to the expense somewhere. And messages for other Members can always either be routed through me OR a request for private contact can be made via me – I’ll pass on all requests. not as convenient i know (certainly not for me) but cheaper and simpler!!
I hope this all works out for everybody. It’s not a “money no object” site but it works and will reliably serve its purpose.
I commend it to the House…!!
