OK, welcome to the new forum. You should first take the time to register, it should take only a few seconds; Choose a username, avatar, color scheme... Once you're done, you can start posting! You can open as many new topics as you like, you can carry on different discussions on different threads, etc. You can even edit your previous posts. The main emphasis is on registration, which prevents others from faking your identity. You can also send private messages (PMs) to other members. Enjoy! And PM me if you have any suggestions for improvements.

I didn't mean for my e mail address to be hidden from other members. I just didn't want to receive mail from the site. Can another member still e mail me by clicking on send message?

I like the new forum, and I'm glad you've edited Jacky's story into an easily readable form. But your software has to be either politically correct or just plain prissy to a ridiculous extent: in Jacky's original she doesn't say 'Even at nearly 12 I was a devious pregnant dog' (in any case the word she used means FEMALE dog) and later a word that means laugh unkindly and is spelled s-n-i-g-g-e-r appears as 'sblack person'. I can't believe you made these alterations on purpose; can't you alter the setting so that the forum doesn't either?

Julian, thanks for pointing that out, very strange! Of course I didn't do it on purpose, I even remember when I read the story after posting it, the word was still snigger... I'll have to turn that P.C. option off...

specs4ever, No, once your email is set to hidden, another member would only be able to contact you by sending a PM, which means you'll have to visit this site for your messages. Otherwise, you should un-hide your email. Anyway, there will be no email sent from the site itself! Only PMs.

OK, fixed! no more censorship on this board! (unless a member complains about something).

As I commented beneath jacky's story, now I am quite a high minus wearer, all I seem to long for is stronger glasses. I've never dared tell anyone about this until I discovered these glasses internet sites. I have to admit that from being a kid I've always enjoyed wearing my glasses, but now I'm totally obsessed with them.

Another strange thing: if I check out any of the picture topics WITHOUT logging in, up come the pictures, no problem. But if I log in and then chck those topics, all I get is the word [image]
