    All of the above issues should be easier this time because the two forums have much more in common. But basically, we won't know until it's done.

    Smilies: the poll was very poorly visited so apart from the ones that were voted for, I guess it's up to me again!

    Richard, one of the problems we had last time was that some of our old links to other threads didn't work and we had to search for them. Is this likely to happen again?

    I don't mind too much as long as I know :thumbsup:. I sometimes send saved links to other people (it pulls in members) and I'll look a bit silly (even more than normal :heehee:) if I send a link that doesn't work.

    Richard, You seem to have all the ends tied up so little old me will go with the flow and see what happens. I am all for moving with the times. You need to keep up with technology or end up like me just following along obediently. :loll::heehee: Now when's this all happening? Wake me up when its done!:o:)

          This looks great Richard - you must have spent aaaaaages sorting GC out
          - thanks for all your hard work.


          I keep my style set on 'default' but I suppose I will have to change now?

          spring is the default here and at the xenforo.

            No - it's the original VB blue tone I like
            but I am sure I will find something else

                You are Welcome, but I won't be there in the morning, tree planting at the Bridport Community Gardens, Volunteer work, got to be better than sitting around being unemployed.

                If we had some Gardeners Corner Cards, I could hand them out to the others.
