Ok i know i should actually know this but what are Blogs exactly?

[Loudyboy]

Blog is short for 'weblog'.

 

A blog is, in simple terms, an online diary where the 'blogger' can add entries whenever they feel like it

 

www.blogger.com is the world's largest collection of blogs, prehaps browsing that site will prove worthwhile to get an idea of what blogging is all about

Sorry to hijack your admin responsibilities, Elton, hope you don't mind

 

Hijack away! I'm a bit lost here

 

At the moment, you have to log in to see the forum index - if anyone knows where the bloody setting is to change this, please let me know......

Hi Elton,

 

I can't really advise on that as I'm not familar with this software. But, at a guess, if you see an option along the lines of 'forum preferences and settings' and look for an option to change permissions.

 

Prehaps there's a 'manage permissions' option. If there is, look for the option to change guest permissions and there'll no doubt be a solution in there.

 

If it's really confusing you and you want a hand, I'd be happy to lend a hand if you care to give me the permissions to help out. Drop me a PM if you like

I say, this is rather swish.

 

Long overdue & much much better than the old forum - get's my vote!!

[Andrew Burgess]

It getting my vote - A big yes!

[Cranfield]

Looks good to me.

Whats the significance of the red and blue briefcases (or whatever they are).

They certainly have no reference to whether I have viewed a topic, or not.

Ok I'm getting used to it now!

[FearTheHands]

This is gonna confuse the p*ss out of poor Ziggy!!

Sorry - missed this earlier.

 

i'm still the subject of a paid for conversion, so will see what Alex at Invision can come up with first.

 

Cheers for the help so far, though - you seem to understand what a 'mare it is this end
