      Probably a bit late in the day but I have created a 'How To' forum called "How To Use XenForo" which you can see if you go to the Home Page. It covers most of the most used features. Let me know if you can't find it or if there's anything missing that you want added. I'll be around all day tomorrow and all day Monday.

      Guess it's goodbye in this forum then! Not been a bad old place but like most ill-cared for buildings, it's gone past its sell by date! :cry3:

      See you over there, then! [​IMG]

          Dunno if it's just me, but the page(s) seem to take ages to load. Hopefully this might improve?
          Also, is there a 'subscribed thread' facility?

          Yes Freddy it appears we are in the process of being re-indexed by a number of search engine bots and it's taking it's toll... I'd link to the post form Richard but I can't get it to load *oh the irony*:lunapic 130165696578242 5:

          hopefully it will be over and back up too speed soon

          Earlier there was "spy" at the top and also mentioned by Daisees in the how to will this be back when the bots have stopped searching?

          thats my hope yes :)

          i'm going to look into blocking spy for guests and google bots

          so only real members can use it :)

            Spotted this whilst out today.

            Tried to upload a picture with the 'Upload a File' button but it didn't seem to work :scratch: although it said it had uploaded 100%! I'll try again.
            Nope, didn't work.

            Monday morning - trying again - no good, "There was an error uploading your file".:scratch: I think I'll go back to Photobucket.

            Here goes!

              it maybe was lagging alittle due to the bot invasion

              yet they do upload in time (not as quick as we will be when invasion over)
