Now that vBulletin 3.7 has gone Gold, will the forum be getting upgraded in the near future. I, for one, can't wait to see this place with thread tagging and extra anti-spam facilities.

If you are going to post a series of huge photographs, can you just link to them instead, please? Some extend the page due to their size and even on broadband they took a bit to download.

Not a problem. Indeed, I don't know how long you've been doing it. Let's just put it down to me having invested four years here and I'm curious at the whole 'new management' thing. That, and my knowledge of many web topics. (Did Darren forget to ay I'm a handful. :p)

Much as I would like to laugh at any suggestion of Dan Brown being anything, I have to concede that his books - well, the one book I persevered with - can be page turners due to the sheer volume of cliffhangers due to short chapters. Having just finished it, I would recommend Sulphuric Acid by...

As one of those passionate people I hope that my passion won't be rudely interrupted by a host of obtrusive ads. In a way, I welcome this change. But I would like to see the forum have a real identity. Currently, with the basic vBulletin template, it doesn't have that. And looking over other...

How so? I'm of Irish descent and can't relate to a potato.

Some books I do hate, more for being crap than anything else, but I had high hopes for I, Claudius and it disappointed. Getting through pages was a struggle. To be fair, I doubt I had enough understanding of its context and will return to it one day. But for just now, I hated every minute of...

I was sent this at random by Penguin UK last year as part of their 'Blog a Penguin Classic' promotion. I only got about fifty pages in but they were a plod and I gave up there, hating the book.

They asked to have the post deleted. I wasn't doing that. The least I could do was remvoe them and keep the thread going. Hence some jiggery pokery.

An insurance call centre may just be your dream job.

Your'e joking? You mean ethics aren't religious? :D Good, now the world can drop the relgious charades and get on with being better people.

It does make sense, in a way. On my forum I've made it a week. But I've seen people come back on another forum and start working through their posts one after the other, just leaving a string of.................. with no idea what was said.

I know. I should dig around the UK and US and sample their literary culture.

Moved from Authors forum as it's not about an author.
