This would make it easier to clearly see…

Please consider making a 'lite' skin for the forums
More and more people are using the Internet on the move through their phones, iPods etc but the forum design (and site container around the forum) is too bloated for it to work efficiently and intuitively. If you had a 'lite' skin for the forums it would solve this, and it is not as if (unlike other forums) you would be…

Forum Subscriptions - (how) Do they work?
I've subscribed to receive daily email updates from 4 different forums but only get them on a seemingly random basis. (Some days I receive 3 emails, sometimes I don't get any. Today I just got 1) All 4 are 'busy' forums so always have new threads & updates to existing threads. I've tried un-subscribing & re-subscribing but…

Site down this evening - sorry
As you'll know we were down for 2 hours tonight, for much of it the main site as well as the forum. Quite simply there was a power cut at the server house - and they were having to restart all servers on the generators one at a time. Sorry for the inconvenience (trust me I've been gowling and teeth gnashing) Martin

Why doesn't the daily comp subsciption arrive
Why is the Competitions forum daily/weekly emails the only ones that don't arrive? I get loads of others, so it can't be my address as stated when I asked before. Lots of others don't get it either. Occasionally it turns up on another email that I registered with a long while ago. I used to get it everyday last year for a…
