Your very first post is still there - from April 30th 2008 -  and (probably) every post you have ever made.

I think all that has changed is the way the posts are counted.

 

How can posts be counted differently?Puzzled

I think some were missed during the transfer - forgot to refresh the count after the users were frist transferred... That's what JD said somewhere.

This site now looks a lot worse than before. It was just fine before and now it's only giving me a terrble headache.

Sorry!

Yep, that's already on the fix list too!

And going back to the point re charging: no plans to charge for things currently avaialble on site.

Just tried to change the avatar without success, likewise the 'sig' isn't responding.

Yeah I don't get that either.

How does a reduction in your post count cost money?

It costs every time you go online, albeit 'cheap rate'. To lose over 200 posts is an awful lot of 'cheap rate' calls to have gone down the pan.

Leaving aside that they haven't been lost, why does it matter? What were you intending to do with the "lost" posts, after they've been answered and then forgotten in the mists of time?

Not sure why it costs you money to go online either, beyond your usual monthly fee.

PP  - Both have worked!

If you're changing Avatar, you have to delete the old one first (which you've done), then add the new one and save again.

I make your post count 6,923 PP, to which I've now changed it.

Everybody else'll have to wait...

Cheers, John.

Evertime I try to upload the avatar it comes up as "SERVER ERROR" and below and says "Apache Server at www.whathifi.com Port 80". Not sure whether that's significant or not. Please advise.

Cheers.

RE: About the new site

afternoon,
I quite like the new site.

It is way to bright
it doesn't scroll smoothly like the old site, very jerky and keeps reloading sections of the script and in some instances strobing.

Good job felines and fellas. Keep it up.
