Hi Keith

When I browse to www.pharmacy-forum.co.uk I get this message.

you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

(I guess you know that all the page formatting, branding and colour scheme have gone).

Are you switching systems?

just a quick one but would it be an ide to include some kind of welcome message / front page for the home screen? it took Sir_Thickalot here a day before he realised he could click on the forum tab!

I've put something rudimentary up. It would be a lot better if it brought up the forum as tab number one, and altered the "Home" tab to something else?

Hi Johnep,

Im just the man behind the scenes, I run all the servers and the hosting side and assist the admin of the site with the script side
I hope the new script is fully working, new skins will be added very soon and bring it back to normal, we had some differcuilty get the upgrade to work so some posts were lost :-(

Hi Everyone

I have started a blog (ok only two entries so far) but I thought it would be easier for everyone to read my posts in one place regarding the site. If anyone wants to start their own blog then feel free to do so.

Keith has always been behind the scenes on the forum, and it would not be possible without him to be honest.

We have upgraded to the latest version of vBulletin 4.0 but that means all the plug ins will need to be purchased again and fitted into the new site. This will obviously take me and Keith a bit of time so please be patient.

If you have any ideas etc that you want to see on the forum please add it as a comment on my blog post (click blog at the top) and then we'll have a list in one easy to find place rather then posts all over the forum or e-mails sat on my PC. You can always e-mail me if you don't want your idea to be identified to yourself of course.

Hope this helps!

Thanks for everyone's patience and Keith's hard work.

Elaine
