Re: Brake vs. Advanced Driving

as above - I think that it is the word appropriate that is missing - we seem to live in a culture now where people prefer to present polemic views, not balanced ones - especially where there is virtue in some of what they are saying - sadly, there is often little balance and the good gets tied into ...

Re: 'New posts' button?

absolutely! my favourite short cut as well... I haven't done much with PHPBB for many years, so just finding my way around a bit - not sure if this is a simple option in the control panel, or whether I will have to modify the code - either way, definitely will do it - but might take a day or two... ...

Re: Welcome & Approach

That's always possible but I have serious doubts about how much traffic ADUK will get now anyway. Whatever happens, ADUK will not be the same place that it was. It certainly won't if lots of the regulars leave :roll: I don't get the sudden desire to abandon ADUK when we're yet to see anything actua...
