    Thank you @Ergates, that is really nice of you to say. We do try our best, and ultimately we are members here too I consider myself as nothing more than a guy who likes his garden and has a bash.. certainly no expert for sure.

    As far as we are concerned, the forum is the members... without you all, the forum is effectively nothing, so feel free to chip in and hopefully we can also have a giggle along the way too

      @Star gaze Lily … to ‘Like’ a thread you just click on the little Thumbs up symbol at the bottom of the post.

        @Dovefromabove is spot on - the likes live in the bottom right corner. If you hover your mouse over each one, it tells you what it is, but they are Like, Agree, Funny, Informative, Friendly, Useful & Creative

                Some may change their name because it's already taken.
                Some want a new name because they didn't get the name they wanted on the GW forum.
                Some just want a new name and a fresh start..... why not!

                As always you'll get an odd bad apple in any group, and they too will want to migrate to a new forum of their choice.

                I regularly use a number of different forums, and you'll find a badun on all of them at some point. Ignore them, don't add fuel to the fire, don't take it personally, and they'll soon move on somewhere else and or leave you alone. Most people are of good character and personality, but we are all very different and yes there's an occasional badun. Lifes interesting when everybody's different. It would be very boring if we were all the same.

                The GW forum and ALL those that used it were brilliant, the website went tits up for me when they started using more and more ever larger in your face adverts. Didn't visit anywhere near as much this last couple of years because of that.

                All said, i'll miss it very much. Let's move on and embrace a new forum, warts an all.

                  @Star gaze Lily I think you click on the thumbs up sign. Just under your post ( in the blue line thing that stretches across from left to right) at the right hand side there are a few signs there. Think the heart means friendly but it will probably be covered in the Introduction page.
                  I am finding it hard to find people like @Ante whom I believe is all sorted here now, but where is he?

                      I’ve found him @Loofah thanks. He is one of GW members and has made it safely onto this grand site. Thank you anyway. Much appreciated.
