Working fine for me! Anyone else having any problems?



Must have been a very strange one-off.   I was doubting myself at first.... but then I had to wade through about 30 thread, and dismiss them all one by one.

No need, at the bottom of the 'Unread Posts' page, there is a button on the right-hand side that says 'Mark all posts as read'. Click it and it clears the lot.

Also I'd suggest using 'Show unread posts since last visit" instead of the 'show new replies to my posts'.  That way avoids long lists if I've done a bit of housekeeping - which I had:-))

Just noticed that I have received a recent promotion and am now a "Sector Ambassador".   Does that mean I now get paid for all those Stars?     And in which Sector am I supposed to be ambassadoring?     $eu     $uk      $wales

No Yorkie... I fear it means something very different.

I fear that it means that you have spent far too much time on ''Fun For All'' and ''Follow On'' than is good for a person!   L0L L0L

I don't know whether it was on the old forum or on this one, but DaveR recommended a website that could be used to reduce the size of digital  photographs so that they can be published on this forum?  Does anyone know what the name of the website or similar is? $thanx$

Here's a a few sites that should do the trick. I generally resize pics so that the longest side is 600 pixels.

Hi Jack,
Trojan gave me the site  DrPic.com  when I originally asked the question... I still use it most days, it was good advice.

around 5pm tonight the forum was down, also I've noticed over the last few days that it's getting much slower :(  anyone else noticed it, or is it just the slower broadband n Penrhyn Bay  :rage:
