It has been a long time coming, but our new forums are here to stay. It will take a little getting used to, but we have many more features now.

Thank you for making this all possible.

Hank:)

I see you have me listed as a Junior Member. With my 60th birthday coming up, that's quite an honor!:)

Hank.. This will take some getting used to, but I guess I'll have to get this brain to work and understand this all. But thanks for the improvement.

Hey Hank - This is soooooo 'professional' What a change from the old format. A job well done for sure, Congratulations.

No doubt there will be confusion for a few weeks till we all get to grips with the mechanics of choosing subject areas and general usage. Be prepared for questions - they're bound to come thick and fast.

Being a 'Junior' member makes up for all this confusion, especially for those who are entering the infancy of their senility and nearing pension age.

Just one initial question - Do we need to register for each subject or what is the procedure in this respect?

Well done - Now maybe you need to re-think the logo for the T-shirts.

You should only be required to register once for everything.

Looks good so far. going to have to play with all the new features to see what all can be done. :) Curious why it opens a small window for each feature?

Hey Hank

Well done - looks very professional. Seems like you've thought of everything. Can we also use the Forum for trading stocks?

Seems like we can now attach photos; is that right?

Regards

Hey hank I give. How do you turn on the smiles, vB codes, HTML's Ect? I have looked and tried all I know. What is it I am missing. I read the FAQ's and I found out that I can turn smilies off. but nothing on how to turn them on. :( In fact I can't find anything to turn any of it on or off.

Finally got on. Didn't realize that I had to check e-mail first to activate. You might want to arrange a way to let new registrants know that they have to do that before they can post. Thanks for everything Hank. This is certainly a much more sophisticated and powerful forum engine.

This has been a lot of work Hank. A job well done. Now it will take us a few minutes to learn about the new system.

You're right Hank, it's gonna take a little getting used to. But I like it! Good job!

Hooray! I finally got in! Apparently there's a firewall at work, it wouldn't let me do anything except LOOK! And it does look good. Going to take me a little while to get used to keeping track of all the threads, but once I get used to where I have been and haven't been, it will be just fine. I'm really excited about this, Hank! THANKS!!
