Good afternoon everybody.

 

In a couple of hours (from approx. 2pm) we'll be upgrading the forum software to the latest greatest version of phpBB. I thought it wise to tell you all about this now it now rather than cause mass panic amongst the flock, as unfortunately it does mean taking the forum offline for a short while.

 

Hopefully the upgrade will only take less than an hour to complete, but if it does take any longer I'll try to get a message posted here advising everyone what's going on and how long it's likely to take.

 

That's the slightly bad news out of the way, on to the good news.

 

Those of you that haven't already noticed will be please to know that the Gallery is back and waiting for you to upload your images to. Our apologies for taking so long to get it back to you, there was a lot of spam to clean out! During the downtime we took time to upgraded to the latest software and also added extra measures to help protect it from those dastardly spammers, so hopefully it won't have to be taken down again.

 

I'll post again once the forum upgrade is complete.

 

Thanks

Annnnnnnnd.... we're back.

 

*breathes out*

[Egluntyne]

That seemed painless. Thanks Matt.

[Mrs Frugal]

Annnnnnnnd.... we're back.

Well done Matt! Have a cuppa and get your breath back now. Thanks for your hard work .

[stoice]

Glad we're back - was all a panic without it! LOL

 

Has anyone noticed that since we've been back, the bottom of a thread doesn't underline what page you are reading? Dunno if its deliberate, but a bit confusing to know what page I'm reading.

[Egluntyne]

I can see which page I'm reading.

 

It says 'Page 4 of 32' or 'Page 2 of 6' etc.

[stoice]

Do'h.

 

Hadn't noticed that bit! Had always looked at the underlined number.

 

Cheers Egluntine

 

*suddenly feels rather silly*

[Christian]

Thanks for that Matt, but I STILL have pages of red arrows to read through. I hate using the 'mark all forums read' button

[Cooks]

ooh different smileys, what happened to my old friends???

[Cooks]

I dont like these imposters

[Christian]

My smilies are the same CM

[Cooks]

mine aren't.... different shape faces, these have pointy chins, mine were round before.

 

I hope they are not just on my computer, weird little things.

[Egluntyne]

No....mine are different too.

[Cooks]

phew at least it's not just me, Christian get on the naughty step for scaring me like that..

[Chickvic]

Do'h.

 

Hadn't noticed that bit! Had always looked at the underlined number.

 

 

I'm the same, took me a few moments to look at page x of x

 

My smilies are the same as before though

[Cooks]

it seems then that some of us have retained the older smilies but some of us have got these weird little things.

[Chickvic]

Now I want to know what I'm missing out on, if you add a smilie to your post it looks the same to me as they always did

[Snowy]

Just noticed mine have morphed too - they look very odd! Might take a bit of getting used to! It's only some of them though - some are still OK

[Cooks]

most of mine have pointy little chins and look alien like... freaky little things, I will stop using them I think.

[Cooks]

what I cant understand is, why can some of us see the newer freaky things and others have the original lovely ones??

My smilies are the originals, so are Christian's, we both use Macs, so maybe it is a Mac vs

PC thang?? Just a suggestion, probably stupid

 

Tessa

[Cooks]

thats probably what it is, something like that.

[Christian]

Could be Tessa

[Cooks]

I've never wanted a Mac so much in all my life

[buffie]

Could be Tessa

 

 

Nope got a mac and some normal and some aliens. Really nasty looking!
