Beth said that What's News had moved here so I thought I would come and have a look. Looks like I was too quick off the mark. Lucky I am patient!

Okay, I got my keys to the new digs. Can someone help me carry in some of these boxes? ;D It's so nice to have smilies again.

I just can't wait to see how you decorate the place between now and the grand opening. A fresh coat of paint, some new curtains, and a couple of comfy couches should be just about right. For anyone who hasn't figured it out yet and wants to know, if your name was automatically converted to lowercase when you signed up and you want capital letters, you can change your "display name" by clicking on "profile" in the menu near the top of the screen and then choosing to edit it. That's also where you can add avatars, signatures, etc., if you so choose.

We get avatars? That's cool. You can see who you're talking to, or at least, little parts of their personalities.

Welcome everyone wandering in!
Peltigera! So good to see you around again. I've often wondered where you got to.
Hi everyone. No, we haven't hung the drapes and put in the lino yet, but we wanted to give sufficient time to get the word out for people to be able to find the new digs. We hope you'll like them.
Please feel free to experiment with this general board to get a feel for all of the spiffy new options we have.
Tell anyone who you think might not be reading boards about the changes. If any of you are on any boards that would like to share with us where they are decamping to, please do.
We'll be organised in no time. ;D

Welcome everyone wandering in! Peltigera! So good to see you around again. I've often wondered where you got to. I think it's neat that some of the first people I saw signed up here are folks I haven't heard from in ages. Good to know they're still around and well and just being quiet. Hi everyone. No, we haven't hung the drapes and put in the lino yet, but we wanted to give sufficient time to get the word out for people to be able to find the new digs. We hope you'll like them. Please feel free to experiment with this general board to get a feel for all of the spiffy new options we have. Experimenting is what I'm doing now, figuring out just how the quote tags work here so I can attribute authors in the quotes, which is a really nice improvement over the MSN boards. Tell anyone who you think might not be reading boards about the changes. If any of you are on any boards that would like to share with us where they are decamping to, please do. We'll be organised in no time. ;D Looks like we have all the basics already. The News and Issues board, and the everything else board. I like that we got a site with private messages too. No more trying to figure out how to trade email addresses when you want to ask someone something privately, and no public scene if you want to bring something to the manager's attention as potentially a problem, you can just send a private message to them suggesting they take a look-see to decide if there's a problem. That's the thing currently in the top right that tells you that you have 0 messages (the number obviously changes as you receive messages). Oh, cool, I just noticed the forum jump feature at the bottom of the page too. That should make it faster and easier to navigate through different boards. I also always like the quick reply box at the bottom of the forum if you don't need any fancy formatting, or click on reply or quote in anyone's message to get to the more advanced reply page where all the formatting options are available. It's really easy to insert pictures from sites like photobucket or imageshack, or youtube clips...there are pre-set formatting options for that. If you click those buttons, you'll get a pair of tags inserted into your post that are inside square brackets. Just paste your URL between the tags. Actually, with youtube, IIRC, you just paste the ID number for the clip you're posting in between the tags (just the letters and numbers at the very end of the URL). Let's see, I'll try with something appropriate for a new board in the New Year.

I thought I had already posted, but apparently I haven't. I am here, and also on the archived site. Thank you for the invite.
This will probably be great as soon as I have time to bumble around a bit. Looks good.
Thanks for having me on.

Bumble away! The good thing about joining a board when it's just starting out is that we're all still fumbling around figuring out all the controls, so nobody has to feel silly about being the "newbie."

Peltigera! It's good to have you here!
Ray, welcome ... err, not that I have any right to welcome anyone. See? I've already broken all those rules I agreed to follow. I got worried when I had to promise not to post anything inaccurate. Now we'll all have to be right all the time.

Hi Faithy! Good to see you again!
Oh, this place is great! I love all the extra "features." *Grabs a nerf bat.* Now I just have to decide who to bonk. ;D
