Welcome TMFers

[peterh]

Hi all!

Another (mainly) lurker from TMF. Thanks so much for geting this up and running so quickly. I'd feel lost without the HYP boards especially - I have learnt an incredible amount from the posts there.

So good to see something like this up so quickly. Is there any way to Rec posts? Or is Rec Tarting lost forever?

Hi people.
Noticed we can see who is logged in at the bottom of the screen too.

[Sunnypad]

hi all!!

Thanks to all those who sorted this so fast.

Good to have somewhere to hang out on a grey murky November day!

Hello all!

Haven't posted on TMF for years and years, and just logged in today as I have some money to invest to see the sad news re: the boards. Spooky timing!

Thanks for sorting out a new home so quickly. Not sure about the curtains but it seems comfy *plumps cushions*.

Phew !

Yes, there is plenty of options like crowns for big posters and moderator status being handed out. Its only 12 hours old, so I need time to extend and improve the features available, suggestions are always welcome, but we need accept this isnt the same software and change is going to have to be accepted. I will do the best I can.

TMF had 150 staff. I have none

[CryptoPlankton]

Excellent!

Just one board request - could we please not have a LoST...

I'm in!

Without an activation email too. I just registered, got bored waiting and tried logging in.

What is this formatting I hear talk of.....................

Fantastic

What a relief to know this has been set up. I'm an infrequent poster but longtime lurker and have found TMF discussion boards invaluable.

Thank you!

Many thanks Stooz and Clariman. I still rankle when seeing Martin on TV after he took Stoozing off us hard workers, but good luck to him he did well. Still Stoozing small time now with AA as switched to Reward Card with NatWest.

Hi everyone, I'm more of a lurker than a poster, maybe I'll feel a bit more confident on a new board.....

p.s. Just noticed a typo and been able to edit it! Major step forward!

What a fantastic effort by Stooz and Clariman, in being able to stop the attempts to kill off the TMF board-community.

Reminded me of this scene -



I was also reminded of a quote for that film that I can hopefully butcher a little bit -

'We're gonna need recs, lots of recs....'



Regards,

Can I also ask Stooz, or anyone else familiar with the phpBB software, if recs are turned on (which is available going off a previous post somewhere), is there then the ability of the software to do a similar 'Best of Board' to the old TMF site, collating the best-rec'd posts from a number of 'selected' boards?

I think one of the huge benefits of the old 'Best of Board' was the ability of it to open very interesting gate-ways into other areas of the boards, where people may not initially realise things are going on and being discussed.

Any ideas Stooz?

Cheers,
