Congrats to the HF gang -new board! (and a link to the old one)

Post by merry »

Well it doesn't look like home to me yet but I'm sure it soon will.

Thanks again to Pani for having the ability and inclination to work 24/7 for two days to get it up and vaguely HF-like. It was like the journey through Mordor, only with less fun.

This is a link to our old board, hosted on P's computer. It's read-only but at least you can go there and see our old posts, including 100 pages of Corona Moaners and all our history. He will keep it there as a museum we can go and wander round, sobbing, sometimes.

Thank you for this :cuddle

I didn't always post that much but I was often lurking on the old board and finding it a homely place.

I expect that this one will soon feel familiar. It is very BLUE!! :lol

I love the test pilot being flown in to give everything a once over :lol

Thanks to Pani and Merry for all the hard work xxx

:wave to STPD & Chrissie.

It's great seeing you all turn up on the new forum. It was a bit of a blow losing the old one, but I'm starting to like this one now.

As STPD says it's very blue :)

I'm hoping that Saturday, being Tough day, will bring in Wildrover, who might click on the old-board-link and get a redirect.

We can't lose anyone!

I bet you hates those hobbitses.

A big welcome back and thanks both for your huge efforts.

Blue is good. At least Merry has avoided the temptation for PINK

I won't say I was hovering over the keyboard hitting enter every few minutes but I did check every few hours and just got lucky. :toast

Yes I was late to the party - I was away at a wedding on Friday and Saturday so didn't access the board. I do like the more modern look of the new board - I just can't find the "Recent Posts" button (if there is one on the new board). Many thanks to Panikos as it sounds like he had to do a ton of work to give us a new home.

Glad you made it Wildrover, and I'm glad Furby that you knew where that was. I feel like when you move to a new house and the tin opener is in one of those boxes. :lol

Ha ha - that's a very timely analogy Pani. I'm having my conservatory/utility room replaced and I keep a ton of rarely used stuff in there which I had to box up in 8 boxes. I wear trainers almost exclusively these days but had to dig out my black dress shoes for a wedding at the weekend. The black shoe polish and brush were in Box #7.

Thanks for the guidance Furby.
