Welcome! Well, I think we're here at last.

VBulletin gives us massive scope for future growth and far more control over every aspect of the forum.

I know there are a few issues still to resolve but I had to go live to start to address everything. Please check this list before emailing as I'll be constantly updating. Here's the ones I know about...so far....

Smilies - Yes Paul, I'll get those sorted asap for you! edit:Basic Smilies now in place.

Avatars - You may need to attach this to your profile again, I'll get them all uploaded from the last forum.
All previous avatars used by members can now be used again, go to Forum Actions.....General Settings...My Profile...Avatar. You can either use your old avatar from this gallery or upload another.

Email Notification - Please check your profile and update as necessary, by default you'll not get email notification of responses.
New members - You will automatically be subscribed.
Please check all your options in Forum Actions.....General Settings.

Attachments - Working on getting these back as we speak. edit: Should all be in place now.

PM's - I've imported all Personal Messages from the old forum but you may find your box is overflowing and needs emptying before you can send/receive new PM's. You can always download them if you don't want to lose them. edit: Just updated this so that you can store up to 250 messages.

Logo - Logo doesn't match, not critical but will be sorted! edit: Sorted for the time being :-)

Could be a cookie issue, if it's not happening to everyone then it'll be your end. Can you clear cookies etc. and try again? I had this problem and for some reason had to reboot to cure it. Let me know as it could be an issue.

Interesting change of forum software.

I'm sure I've just missed the setting, but where do I change the date format so it's not "12-22-2010"..? I'd like it to be DD-MM-YYYY as it should be.

Thanks!
