Thank you!
Hey Hans, I was trying to fix my signature and looked at how it was set up before, but it points to woody's url. How would I do the same here? My name, smilie, and US flag. Where would I find some avatars too?

We don't have a gallery of avatars. You could right-click your avatar in the Windows Secrets Lounge and save it to disk, then use it here. Or you could search for another suitable picture using Google or Bing.

Your signature should look like this when you edit it:

It's great to see that you got here.

Come in and look around, you should find quite a few old friends.

Terrific skiing here this winter. Too bad my old football injury is keeping me off the slopes and by the fireplace sipping toddies and telling "war" stories about how it used to be with us old ski bums. :cheers: :yawn:
Done and dusted Bob, I e-mailed them to myself! We've got lots of snow as well, but I'm ashamed to admit we haven't yet skiied. Possibly this weekend, but the forecast is for 25cm of more snow ... So I could be shoveling instead ...

It's great to see so many old friends around- a part of the family I thought had split up permanently.

And especially good to see people I haven't seen for a long time.

Thank you for providing the new resource- I wish it all the best success.
To which I most enthusiastically say "Amen". :cheers:
Regards
Don

Yes I can see some of them already here and increasing gradually.

(BTW, is there any plan for some kind of "Early Bird" prizes for Users? :smile: )

Is the kudos not enough? :laugh:

We have no plans at the moment, and certainly don't want to make promises we can't keep. It's early days yet and we are going to see how things work out once the dust has settled. :smile:

We do have a kind of bonus for you: eventually, posts made in the forums in the "Light Relief" section will not contribute to your post count, as in Woody's Lounge / Windows Secrets Lounge, but for the moment ALL posts count.
Best wishes,
Hans
