Welcome to the new look forum.

Hi everyone

Welcome to the new updated forum.

As I said previously, it will look a bit different (of note, the logo is not the finalised version) but will work like most other forums.
All your old threads are still on here and 99% of you will be able to keep your username and passwords. So hopefully you can continue as normal

This new system is very similar to the old, it's just on new software that is more secure. The big problem with the old one was it had been discontinued so was easy for spammers to access.

The function for new members to join is now active and will be the same as before where we have to screen who joins to try and avoid spammers.
I'm sure you're looking forward to welcoming newcomers and I know that those of you who have been on here for many years and know PP very well, will have lots of knowledge to impart.

I have created this new thread for troubleshooting in these first days of the forum so any issues or questions, please ask on this thread. If I can't answer, then Adam, the tech guy, should be able to.

You will now be able to upload pics & photos directly to your posts and comments which is a lot easier than having to link to an outside source and we think will brighten up the forum no end. There's even a place called "My Albums" where you can upload and save your photos.

As always, all we ask is that we keep things relevent to the posts/threads and to be kind.

Please try not to send PMs to Sparky or myself if there any issues. Any problems need to be on the thread so we can deal with them and others can take the advice if they also come across the same sort of thing.
If you can't even log in to reply or post then you can email pptravelguide[@]gmail.com

Thanks for your patience with this update and hopefully the forum will carry on being a fun and informative place for everybody.

Toni

I know it's meant to be waves and it's meant to change again, but the 'wave' that shows in my browser tab for the new look forum displays as a kind of 'SS'

 

[PPToni]

Thanks for being the first user to post on the new forum Mike! Hopefully it all runs smoothly for you, but any issues please let me know.

And yes, not keen on the "waves" "SS" logo, but we will get that changed when the site design is finalised.

 

[Carol]

Looks Good!

 

[Disorderly]

Progress! Well done.

 

[PP76]

Good Luck, hope the new format works well.

 

[Gommar Goffer]

It's great to have the forum back. Thank you Toni!

Brilliant. Onwards and upwards!

 

[Catwoman]

Fantastic news! I look forward to reading and sharing posts. I have learnt so much from the Forum over the years and we are back in September and will be looking for new restaurants as our favourites seem to have disappeared.

 

[Rockape]

Good Heavens.....its happened!

Looks great too...well done Toni!

 

[Portofan]

So pleased we are up and running !

And a new member posting

Welcome Joycey !

 

[KWUK2]

Thanks Toni.

I'm in, but it wasn't straight-forward, I made it after some frustrating attempts at Login.

Tried email address, it didn't like it. Then I tried "Name" as asked. Ambiguous - did it mean first and surname - it didn't. But I'm called by my second name - so tried that with surname. (No idea what I registered with many years ago on pp.com).
No success.

Finally tried username instead of the requested "Name". Success. Maybe the Login page should be more precise ? Not a showstopper though.

Regards & thanks

As a moderator i am finding it very different, it is taking time to work out how it all functions. Please bear with me, i am on a big learning curve but i will get there .

Good luck Lyn. Am sure you'll do a brilliant job as ever!

Hi Toni,

I am so pleased that you've started to make the changes and particularly with the forum and keeping all the old posts & users. It's looking great! I'm really looking forward to seeing what you do with the main site. I'm fully aware of how dated it looks but am sure that you and Russ will make a great go of it.

Sparky - I sympathise with y/14. I’m struggling. In particular, the column on the right hand side (New Posts) often reads ‘yesterday’ but then when you look at the message, it’s sometimes from 2-3 days ago. Why can’t all the messages in the right hand column specifically dated.

Just popped in, & a facelift. Very clean & bright. Logged straight in, no problems. Now to prowl around. 25th year vist this year.

Could I have some advice please as to how to change my EMail address, (and possibly password). Haven't used the site for some time, any help greatly appreciated.
