I KNOW for a fact that I have been here since 31.12.1969!!
Lots of nice new features to explore. Pity it happenned the very same day my Internet Exploder and Windows Live hotmail decided to play silly buggers too. Now I am having great difficulty knowing if I am going or coming.But i am inordinately pleased to see that I am already a senior member,obviously in recognition that i have had a few senior moments

Oops Florian error report number 1 I first tried the "quick reply" version but have to ask what happenned to the most useful Preview facility, it is not available in "quick reply" only here in the advanced version.I rely on using that to pick up my many typos so for me the quick reply is patently useless
I also miss the Instant UBB crib section at the bottom did you leave that out on purpose??
i see "manage attachments"
OK OK Later the new attachments system is explained on Florian's announcement at:-
http://www.corfid.com/vbb/announcement.php?f=3
Also note that you have until October 1 to save any Private Messages you might like to retain on your hard drive.Just open a new folder somewhere then with any messages you wish to keep open in them inyour browser then simply "save as a web page" (in Internet Exploder anyway) in your new folder.
Error 2
Florian you seem to have resurrected a few very old topics was that deliberate ?
Later No not resurrected just a most useful addition whereby the forum lists other topics with a related subjct title to demonstrate this search for "Carefree Highway" (Leave the search option at the new limitation default "show threads" not "show posts"
You will get a list as before of topics containing your search term or words
then pick any one and open it then scroll down to see a listing of related topics
Bravo Florian Nice as Borat said
and
Error 3
on most old topics most of the replies are duplicated as Ron found see above
Later I really cannot think of a logical or illogical reason for this aberation.. Florian???
As Sean Connery /James Bond would say
"Shurely shome mishtake"?
Now for a little constructive criticism whch I will label
Suggestion number 1 I had got used under the old system in setting my profile to never show a signature, now it looks like I'll have to remember to uncheck the box on every posting which will be a pain in the you know where as will the apparent necessity to change the "no email notification" to "daily email notification" each and every time could not these two options be permanently set from ones own profile? I usually checked the notification box on the old system but often forgot I then had to go back and edit, another pain in the same place!!
