Hi @Squirrel nuts and welcome to GC - please accept my apologies for not getting back to you sooner following @Scrungee's and @Jack Sparrow's tags, I have been out most of the day. I see that our very own @wiseowl has sorted things for you so far, and I am sure that our members will give you all the help and support they can.

@Scrungee - many thanks for the tags and for the help you gave @Squirrel nuts, it is greatly appreciated.

@Jack Sparrow - many thanks to you also for your tags and help

Don't worry about not being able to find your way around the forums for now - it is all new to you, and is bound to take you some time to settle in to your new online home. All of the members here are the best people you could choose to meet, and as you have already seen they will happily help where they can.

If you ever want to draw someone's attention to a post or a thread, all you do is put an @ in front of their username; as you can see at the start of this post, your name is highlighted in blue, and that will also send you an alert to tell you I have tagged you.

Any text in blue is (generally) clickable and a link to take you somewhere else, or to do something. You can't break anything, so don't be scared to click away and explore.

The staff team are:

@wiseowl (resident rose expert, runs our photograph competitions, and a gentleman of the highest order)

@shiney (one of the most charitable [literally!] people I can think of, who has forgotten more about plants than I will ever know)

@Zigs - (I always think of the three 'F's when it comes to our Zigs - Foraging, Funghi and Falling-over from being on the lash - an expert in the restoration of old buildings)

and me, @Fat Controller (technical support department, and generally cheekiness, at your service.

If you need help at any time, just give us a shout

 

Thanks @Scrungee - it takes a wee while for me to get the tidying done as I have to move thre thread before I can merge. All sorted now.

 

Not me @"M" - I find the best results come from taking my time.

 

Awwww, and there was me thinking my luck was in!

You were just about to be told to 'Get yer coat'.....
