1745 forum posts 1 photos 74 articles	I'm pleased to say that our new site platform is now live. There are bound to be some teething issues so please use this thread to report any problems you come across. We'll do our best to sort them out as soon as possible. You may have noticed the new 'reviews' section which should be a lot easier to use than the the previous review pages. It's not up and running properly yet but we'll be working on it and hope to have it fully functional very soon. Cheers, Ben (site editor)

3415 forum posts 35 photos	Ben, Looks like my forum posts tally has double, but then the posts i`ve opened so far seem to be repeated, also the pictures aren`t showing. On a personal note i don`t like the blue titles, they are quite hard to read on the green background. Don`t want to sound critical as i appreciate it is early days. Best wishes. Baz. PS is there a spell checker?

1834 forum posts 191 photos	Sorry Ben I posted about the Record site before I realised you had set up a special site ,Baz Has made the same comments as I made about duplication on sites, and the fact his pictures do not show on his thread. I like the info under the pictures, and the fact that when you move down lines it isn't two spaces George

7631 forum posts 22 photos	Looking good Ben..........a bit slow but I think that's down to all the 5599 members trying to view all the new items on the site at once Definitely need some more smilies!! Keep up the good work while I try and find the new stuff. Marc PS; Is there any chance putting the link to 'next page', 'first' and so on below the comments on the thread too as you need to scroll back to the top to continue to the next page........... and, On the forum posts, I noticed the latest comment link has gone.........with some threads having more than 30 posts, you need to keep clicking the 'last page' on the first page to see what new comment was left........... also......... Is there a prize for the first member to reach 5,500 posts!!! Cheers lads, your doing a great job! Marc

Early days yet as you say. Ralph

2776 forum posts 636 photos	Looking good so far, Ben! I do agree with some of the other points that have already been raised - mainly the blue font colour and lack of a 'Latest Posts' link inside a topic. I disagree with Marc though, I actually find the site now loads faster than before! Nice to see the number of registered members - and congratulations on that note! Would it be possible to add something where by you can see who is actively online?

1635 forum posts 79 photos	Hi Ben et al On the Latest Posts listing I am seeing some post headers purple with pale blue topics and some vice-versa. I can't see any logicical reason but perhaps there is? Like Baz and Olly I too don't like pale blue on white but can live with it. I have also noted the doubled forum posts tally. The worst issue I see is that Latest News links on the homepage are not working properly - no pictures. Also some of the links are coming up with error HTTP 404 (file not found) Richard
