    Well - here it is, the new place. Hopefully a lot of the old GrooveHandler's will make it over. I'm new to this forum business so any ideas would be appreciated here.

    This is just the start, I'm hoping to import a few of the music and other threads across from GH - it looks so empty in here :( Obviously the smilies will have to come across too but I haven't got around to that yet.

    I'm off the net for a few hours now so I might see a few of you when I get back :D

    Regards,
    Michael.

    Michael,

    I am glad you are using this forum software, it is the best I have seen so far.

    Perhaps Joel will let you have the smilies from GH.

    Michael,

    when you get round to it, can you increase the avatar size as it is only possible to use images of 50 x50 at the moment. on GH it was 126 x 126.

    Cheers, Neil

    michael,
    1) grab the smilies for gh.
    2) bigger avatars.
    3) public disclosure of your rules for moderation (if you have any
    and tell us if you don;t)


    hello everyone.... :D

    cheers

    Thanks for setting this up Michael. Looking good. Glad to see the GH colour scheme was adopted since that's nice and easy on the eye.

    Just to echo what the others have said about getting the smilies, bigger avatars and moderation rules.

    Just a couple of familiar names around here, eh?

    Ahh - lots of familiar faces :D Thanks for coming over.

    I've fixed the avatar thing and you now only need 2 posts before you can change your title.

    I'm just about to go an nick the smilies from GH... :)

    Michael.

    COngratulations Michael.

    Let's hope this works and doesn't get into mischief.

    We ought to discuss the moderation issue and the behaviour code rule.

    Some possibilities

    a) Let the thread starter be that thread moderator; the owner of the place can override the decisions of the thread starter.

    b) Let's be clear about not allowing personal insults.

    c) Let's try to use bad language only when it is really needed.

    The stickies should also be given some thought.

    Does a thread have a limit of duration?

    How to make this place better known?

    These are just thoughts off the top of my head.

    .
