Wow!

We’ve made 100,000 posts on the forum!  cloud9:

Not sure if that is a cause for celebration or shameful commiserations but the prescription for both is the same…

Free drinks all round!  whistle:

Oh… and a new theme for the day too… no charge like…  ;)

The admins would like to thank you all for your continued support and the many hours of enjoyment that we get from this forum.

Well done everybody!  drumroll:

Um...

The plan was to load the new theme first thing this morning... then keep it for a day by way of celebration.

However, you lot had a huge dose of verbal diho diarr dior shite yesterday that we had to rush it into place last night...

If you want to keep it, change it, replace it every week or whatever just let us know...

The choice was limited. We couldn't use the one Wenchy wanted as the system would not support it. Same problem applied to many others we viewed but we could not let the day pass unheralded.
