I have been away for a couple of weeks and was quite surprised when I flashed up the iPod and received an email from PC. Even morse so when it notified me of a reply to an earlier post. Since returning home I have accessed the Forum and must say whoever did the work to update it has done an excellent job and really brought it up to date. eve the spelling checker works so no more excuses for bad spelling.
I appreciate that there will be teething problems and I am sure user feedback will get these sorted as they arise. But Bravo Zulu to this who have carried out this update.
Hi Clive. No you are not unique. Indeed I returned to the forum after a rather trying 12 weeks during Ms TTR had undergone a triple bypass that went a little pear shaped during the first 12 days of post operative recovery.
Indeed I responded to a rather damming assessment of the new site with this copied and pasted item:-

Hi to you all out there. Back in AT LAST. There have been gremlins afoot.
I must say that the new look is really quite something and a whole load of new and rather long overdue features.
I am rather surprised that with the massive improvements that have been initiated that images still cannot be posted directly from our own PC's,or am I missing something.
Image hosting and the need to often downsize before attaching is a pain in the rear panel!!!!
I am going to look forward to getting my head around all of the new toys.
Is it any coincidence that the site has a very similar appearance to CaravanTalk & a couple of others on the internet. It clearly has a very openly laid out format and hopefully using it will be easy.
Ignorance, can be Bliss,It is No Defence & Certainly not an excuse,Stupidity can be expensive and when combined, they can be disastrous.

Indeed the new site is a revelation but there are clearly a few tweaks still needed. Hopefully it does not an excessive looking at and get screwed up like so many other sites have suffered.
