Just did that and the sidebar zoomed up to its correct position, so that was nice and easy. Also note that I could edit the 'quote' this time!

It's still there mate. :?
Actually it's gone from the home page, if I click onto the latest topic it takes you to the first post of the thread, unlike the one to the right on any of the forum pages that takes you to the last.

Ah, OK, I never view the homepage, it's a limited way of viewing the forum.

I just noticed it earlier as I sometimes use the home page if I just want a quick look at what is current.

Correct. Gone from the home page. Maybe the professionals full time posters do not use the home page but I think many others, including myself, do. Probably not a big thing to get it back?

Another question: how do I upload pictures. Must I request with admin to change some settings in order to be able to upload pictures like we had to do in the past??

See Lev's post on the second page of this thread. Part of it:

"Photos and Attachments
Photo uploading and file attachments are now available to all members with more than 10 posts. Below the post window is an attachment which you can use to simply upload files from your hard disk. Images must be kept below 800 pixels wide and all files below 200Kb in size or they will be rejected." Pete :cheers:

What has gone though is that little symbol after each thread on the home page that took you to the last post.
It's not really a problem if you know that as you can go straight to the forum, but if it's just a question of settings, it was handy.

A much better layout and all works OK for me, except, even though I have signed in, it does not show me as "online" and I am not in the registered users at the bottom either. :cry:

I have Vista and FF, so don't know if I have done anything wrong.

A big round of applause to the Admin team for their hard work. :clap: :clap: :clap:

Well I mooched around (longer than 5 mins so can't edit last post :oops: ) and found a button to press and I'm now visible online. :dance:

Old dogs new tricks. Sorry.

I was reading the "protecting my assets" thread and have noticed the adverts for bank and weather are overlapping the posts.

This is because one of the posts in that thread is too wide, the text in it has pushed the column width out.

The 'jump to last post' button in the latest topics list is not available with this version of it.

We have now got the search index functioning fully again and will experiment with different side bar options shortly.
