In transferring posts from the old forum to the new, rejuvenated, washes whiter forum, some interesting things have happened to the previous posts - especially in relation to inverted comms" s and apostrophe' s. I take this as an electronic attack on behalf of the Destroy Punctuation Militant Tendency.

Yes we have a few final issues to tidy up - the strange punctuation changes and also Turkish characters. It was more important to get the forum converted and up again but it's not done - we are doing plenty of things behind the scenes still.

Looking at the topic title, it also gives me the opportunity to ask members (who haven't already) to check their profile, check and update any fields like birthday, email address etc. Some email addresses that failed to make the move for their owners were from ISPs who disappeared years ago  :)

Just spend 30 seconds making sure yours is all accurate: http://calis-beach.co.uk/forum/index.php?action=profile

Can I ask what the thinking is behind the thumbs up/down. Apart from maybe a bit of fun? Or when you reach a certain amount of negs you get booted perhap's? Be more fun if we can see who upped or downed us, hey Des Martin!  ;)

Apart from a bit of fun not much. It gives everyone an idea of how members are regarded I suppose.

dont have to see who does it just ask, suppose some people are like a praying mantis, just  lie and wait then strike. that should add a few more negatives i reckon.

Des how on earth have you got -14.

To be honest not so keen on the thumbs down - if you knew what post it was that warranted it fair enough.

Thumbs up is OK as it can encourage less prolific posters to feel more confident about posting although it would feel more relevant and be more interesting if you knew what post it was that received what is effectively a like!   :)

Not so keen on the thumbs down? Me too. I run the place (which is free of charge) to help people wherever possible and 10 people have so far decided I deserve a negative click!!!

I know!!! I noticed that too and thought it was a bit off - maybe you were being controversial somewhere   ;)
