It looks like we will need an admin spam alert button on the forum.

Yes, there is a lot of spam coming through now. I have no idea why this is happening. But there's no need to report any of it - I see it and am deleting it as soon as I do.Comment

Well, everyone, here we are! This is the latest version of vBulletin, complete with Like button! If you experience any problems, please let me know. If you can't post, let me know via the "Contact Us" link at the bottom of the page.
A few things to note:
1. Hopefully our recent spam problems are now solved. If not, I will tweak things until they are.
2. I think there are problems with the search function - I will look into that.
3. The old way of embedding YouTube videos was something I hacked in, and it no longer works. Old threads with embedded YouTube videos probably will not work at all. There is really nothing I can do about that, unfortunately. But there is a new way of embedding videos that you can use. When you are making a post, at the top of the editor with the buttons that allow you to bold text, etc., there is a button that looks like a piece of film - you can click that to embed a video.
Enjoy!Comment

You are now a Junior Member, Megan!
(Just testing to see if I can post!)
Well, it worked but my "big grin" smiley didn't work!
Anyway, I have a nice round figure to start the new set-up - 3900 posts. (Grin)

Navigating the forum is newish territory, but it won't take long to get used to it. I like a challenge.
I don't think Chris has got the emoticons working yet.

This is great. I only saw the site down for upgrades late last night and now we are up and running. Thanks for the speedy changeover."Life is too short to spend it wandering in the barren Sahara of musical trash."

I'm sure we can get your old account back to you. Did you use the option to recover a lost password?Originally posted by Pearle View PostComment

I didn't notice an option to recover password, probably because I am to impatient. Another forum I go on is like that. But I'm ok with this one.
