Hi,

We are making some big changes to give the site a new look and introduce some new features! We expect this take to place tomorrow morning at around 7am GMT.

We hope you enjoy the new-look site!

I have no photo's either so hope the reason is this "big change" if not where are they?

Thank you Sally, for bringing this to our attention. I avoid the General board, as it usually degenerates into unseemly bickering.

I dread to think what the changes will be.................they are seldom for the better, and never seem to incorporate any of the improvements for which the paying members ask.

Under normal circumstances Bilbo is correct, threads should only be put on one board.

When something unusual happens, GR ignore the "rule" & allow multiple posting hence I can see no problem with this thread.

Many thanks Sally for this thread...I rarely venture over to the gen board these days.

I cannot understand why a stickie was posted on the gen board alone.

Just a thought Bilbo....you say "probably less than 1% of members check the boards"....however "of that less than 1% members" how many actually use the tips, records and TTF boards. I think that you will find the percentage overrides the gen board. It would have been fair to let the users of each board know.

Thanks, Sylvia, for copying it here.

Ozi.
