Also, I should mention the @ symbol preceding the username is recognised as in other forums and will bring up a box showing the user's last comment and links to the user and comment. I have demo'd it here and thought it could be useful on long threads.
hi @cheftallyrand , If you click the section you want to post in first, e.g. "General", "News", "Lawn" the link is at the top right. There is also a link at the top of each thread, which will start a new topic (on this thread, under "General"). I did this to encourage people to post in the relevant section / group.

Thanks @Brazilnut ! Apologies to those few who experienced an error page during the day. I had to change a couple of things which meant the site went off line a few times for several minutes.
I hope you like the new layout and new features. Please note that you have to sign in using your email address rather than username. Any feedback will be much appreciated!
Sorry neilh, it is most likely the size of the file being uploaded that is the problem. This will be fixed in the next release. For the time being, can you reduce the size of the photos before uploading them?

Re disappearing text. No one has hacked in to anything on this site. Flo deleted the text of her post on the 8th herself either deliberatly or accidentally.

Sorry Jools88 & Brazilnut. A lot of people had contributed to the thread and posted comments that were not vindictive including comments about why this type of discussion should not be pursued. I think the approach of closing a thread and redacting parts if necessary is probably better than removing threads.
