If you click on the quotation marks and then cut and paste what comes up into the "Quick Reply", you can at least get the quote function to look right.

Hacked by Mexicans who saw what was coming and didn't want us to revel in our hard earned victory.

Seriously though, last essential maintenance was in September. Webhosts say other maintenance was done on different servers to mine, but shouldnt have impacted us. They have no idea either.

Hah! no :)

It's because the web hosts have upgraded the version of PHP to a newer version which is not used by the board.

So an imminent board software upgrade needs to be made.

Hi Volvo. Click on your user name on the home page. Then select 'user control panel'. From the control panel you will see a tab called board preferences. Select that andyou will be able to set the way you want you page to look. Hope this helps.

MuM - JC at the top.... if only I'd known sooner I too would have moved from Mexican blue much sooner.... Thank you.

Fermain - your hard work and the general service/opportunity is much appreciated. Thank you.
