Unfortunately Mick, in a way it was broken so did need to be fixed (remember the outages over the past few months?). As I mentioned above, we were at least 10 versions out of date and there were many security holes - guess who is at most risk from being hacked or scammed online? It's the people who aren't as computer literate. Believe me I wouldn't have just undertaken two weeks of battling with it just to change the layout, it looked fine to me too. Now, as I mentioned above the layout is one we can customise - the upgrade had to be done before the 20th so the club didn't incur another £160 bill so it has been done with most options left as their default setting. If there's something you would like to see changed I would very much welcome feedback of that type. Things like "this button used to be here, the layout was like this, can we change it to match" would be very useful indeed - just saying "I don't like it" isn't.

There is something wrong with that Doombar, I've never seen a pint stay in a glass that long!! Just got in from work and could do with one to help me sleep!!! 👍👍

I have started this thread to be used as an area where you can test and use/learn the new forums features. Click, post, like, edit upload photos/files whatever you like. A virtual pint awaits the person that comes up with the best new feature

Hi Luke My only thoughts are that if the boat capsized and you are still attached to the rail, if your tether is not sufficiently long enough you will be held under water! Clipping onto side rails and the same thing happens your clip may well be only a foot or two under water but you are on the surface. My concern would be that if the boat went down you could go with it, not nice As far as I am aware fast yachts use the safety line for when crew are moving about on deck, if you are on your own I would never venture forward or going down the sides unless it was really calm and there was a real need to. Most jobs can be carried out in the main deck area without the need to put yourself in danger. Just my thoughts Dave

No problem with using this thread Oli it will keep all the new stuff together where members will find it easy(ier in Micks case ) to find
