Hi Folks
We've been working hard behind the scenes to rationalise the categories & make it easier for new folks to find stuff!
Here's how it's shaping up so far for us in the Users area (the Cooksons sections will undergo some changes too)
Any comments suggestions welcome (*runs for cover* please be gentle)
Naturally this will mean a lot of work for the team to move threads accross & merge current categories...
(i.e. Please don't smash us over the head if things take a while but feel free to PM us to suggest a move )
