Who's going to put the kettle on, then? I'll have an Earl Grey with a choc chip shortbread.
We'll be able to see who's been checking every few minutes to see if the forums are back by the order we arrive in here.

Hello everyone - just seen that this thread has been viewed 34 times, so how many of us are back?
Is there anyway of seeing how many people are online?
What do you think of the new set-up?

Hello everyone and welcome back.
Just to answer Frances' query - you can tell who's online as it will say "On" in the little tag at the bottom left of your postings. If you visit another forum, you'll see many of the members not online have their little tags set at "Off"
I hope that you enjoy the new features that we've given you. The best way to work out how to use them is just to have a play around with them and visit the "Help" section if you get stuck.
A link to contact the moderators is at the bottom of every page as well.
Whilst you all have new forums to get used to - we're all grappling with a new-look admin system behind the scenes. Please be gentle with us whilst we familiarise ourselves with it.
Best regards
Christine

Anyone else looked at 'My assistant' yet? I'm making the most of being in the top 10 posters, probably for the first and last time.

The all-time top 10 doesn't appear to work at the moment, but I bet we can all guess who's no. 1.

Thanks Christine
- it all looks great! I'm sure that everyone will be patient with you and that the able computer users will get the hang of all the new features very quickly - it's the old computer illiterates like me that will take longer!

Morning, everyone!
Christine, one tiny little query - on the main page for each forum it says "the rules are here" - but they aren't yet? Is that a link that'll get put in later?
Cheers
Katyjay

Hi Katyjay,
Yes - the longer version of the forums rules will be added shortly. There's a lot to them so it's taking longer than I expected.
We thought that the short ones would suffice for the moment as we wanted to make the forums accessible again as soon as we could.
I'll do a general posting once they're all up asking all members to visit them and to make sure you understand them.

Hi everyone - sorry I'm late ! Had to do the password thingy again, I guessed it would be needed and I never log off so have no idea what my original password was.
I'll be back for a coffee when I've had a little explore.
Isn't this nice and airy ??!

This is weird - it's like going into a favourite shop & finding that it's been refitted. Well I'd just got the hang of quotes in the old forums- wonder if it'll take me as long here to work it out.
Any more Earl Grey tea around?
