Hi Tony, and welcome to CC.  There should be some familiar faces around here somewhere.  ;)

Any questions about the site, or even if you have any suggestions, please don't hesitate to shout.

The theme can also be changed if you don't like the black blue one, and this can be done via your profile / look and layout preferences.  The gallery also has some themes, but these have to be set when you're in the gallery itself.

Thanks Mick, I don't know why I didn't spot a mention of this site on DCM before, when did you start up?

Tony, think it was around October 2007 when I first put this place together, but it's only just starting to take off.  :-[  I've had a link in my signature over at DCM for quite some time, guess I didn't post enough for people to see it.  :)

Mick: Or, I guess, I look at signatures the first few times I see a post from somebody then never look again. I must become more observant. Anyway well done! and see you around.

OrGIe: Nice one, that's what I have been doing all evening.

The rest of you: Thanks!

Hello Mick, Long time since the True Focus days! I feel that this site is taking over from where the DCM Forums is signing off, or abandoned! Photo Radar, has not located, or locked on to a target yet!
Regards

Hi John.  I thought it was you, but wasn't sure.  Welcome to CC and nice to hear from you again.  :)

True Focus, now that's a blast from the past lol..  That site was Jonathan and Geoff's baby, and I just helped out with the moderation.  Not really sure what happened to the site, or why it was scrapped.  Not sure what happed to Geoff either, we lost touch after True focus went down.   You'll no doubt have noticed that Jonathan is still about.  ;)

Anyway, hope you hang around, and look forward to reading your posts.  Any questions just shout.  :tup:

Hello Mick, Yea, True Focus just died,  :-[ due to lack of response and correspondence. I stayed on, until the ship sunk.  Yep, I know Jonathan is active, I have read his post here, there and elsewhere, always like to read his comments! :tup: I have not heard of Geoff, since True Focus, I did think that he might have been on DCM, in disguise perhaps!
Best of luck

Hi all. How on earth did it take me so long to find this site. First impresions are spot on, lots of firmiliar faces. Is this the new settlement for the mass exodus? :D

Well, as we keep saying, a forum is just the sum of its members so if enough people join then who needs future publishing! :tup:

Good Morning, used to appear on DCM under the banner of Train Man.
Have got fed up with the current farce that is Photo Radar and seem to see this cropping up a bit more.
Good to see so many faces over here.
I'll have to change my favourite to this site i think. Been looking round for somewhere different.

Andrew, nice to see you over here,  welcome to CC.   :tup:

Thanks for the nice comments about the site.   What amazes me is I have no knowledge whatsoever about building websites, and cobbled this together with free software.   The radar team no doubt are being paid loads of money, or at least paying someone to do it for them.   Find it hard to believe you guys can prefer this site lol..   We don't have any vid tutorials on here though, or blogs.  Maybe some ideas for the future. ;)

Mick, for me it`s that familiar feeling i get from this site that appeals so much. It`s very similar to what we had on the dcm site but much more refined & up to date. when you listen to all the posts on dcm it`s clear so see that so many people(myself included) where generally happy with the site, it just needed updating & a few issues addressing, not really the total makeover which only seems to have thrown people out of the boat & in to the stormy seas. I`ve been swimming around for awhile now & i`m glad to say i`ve found so dry land to call home.

You`ve even got the spell checker that Abers wanted. :)

Well done. :tup: :beer:

And that is the point - home from home without all the fuss.

Now to spend some time over the next week just getting used to the slight differences.
Then maybe look at uploading some piccies and looking at other peoples galleries.

We don't ask for too much do we?

Thanks.  Yep the spell check is a nice feature, my spelling is rubbish.  Funny though, after using the forums, and using the spell check, I've noticed it doesn't find so many mistakes anymore.  I must be getting better at spelling.  

Abers, don't think he's been over yet.  Or at least I've not seen him.  ;)
