We needed to get up to the latest version for security and performance reasons.

Heh, since the server move I've approved around 150 new members, so I can't see how we've lost members.

If you type in http://www.uk-polos.net you'll get here, just like before...

Just noticed a moment ago a neat little feature that the upgrade has given us; when you are composing a reply and hit Submit, if someone else has submitted a post whilst you were composing yours, it gives you a warning and offers the chance to change or add to your reply if needs be, before clicking Submit again to post it

Yeh i noticed that the otherday. It's pretty cool.

Recently discovered something else when using links too....
If you click on the link using your mouse 'scroll wheel' (if you have a clickable scroll wheel), it opens the link up as a new tab/window to save you right-clicking and choosing the option.
Ickle time saver but a handy one!

I've always used that. Never used the simple click!

I just use a flashy browser that does more or less everything i ask it to - opens outside links in new tabs by default, in background etc although the middle click option is a new one to me, neat find...
