Of course, these are entirely optional - you don't have to tell the world this info - but for some people it will be very welcome.

Hi Graham that is good news.
It's both what you do and the way that you do it!

Hi Graham
It sounds like it will be a great improvement when it's done, and I will look forward to seeing it. :-))
Best wishes Chris

Graham So what is going to happen to all the threads already written? Are they going to still be available?
Some very good news like the arrival of proper PMs.

Hi Tiger,
All the existing forum threads will still be here, as will photos, blogs and groups.
Hope that helps put your mind at ease.
:)
Thanks Graham for the news but it fills me with dread as I am not the quickest when it comes to things changing. Hope I will be able to pick it up though.

Hi Alan,
Thanks for your suggestion.
First of all, I should say that unfortunately we cannot accommodate what might be termed "feature requests", particularly at this stage when we are about to put the new version live. I'll explain why.
The process we are undergoing is an upgrade of a specific piece of software. Therefore, to a large extent we are at the mercy of what this software does or does not provide. That said, there is some flexibility and control over what the software does, of course, but not a huge amount.
In this particular case, the Messages functionality does not include Report abuse capability. This is because "Report abuse" as a concept exists to allow people to report what others have said if it offends them or is legally on dodgy ground. Within the context of private messages therefore this doesn't make sense as no one else can see the message.
The subject of abuse through private messaging is a valid one though and the software is designed to make this difficult or unlikely. Messages are only allowed from your Friends so this provides the first line of defence, as it were. If you have befriended a person on the Community and they are contacting you via Messages in a way you do not like, you can simply de-friend them and they will not be able to Message you again.
I hope that explains a little more.
All the best,
Graham
Sounds good Graham, apart from the withdrawal symptoms and me being something of a technoklutz who picks up new stuff slowly - but I expect people will be patient while I fumble about, they usually are:-)
Absolutely fabulous, and i will be in the Isle of Wight so it will be all done and dusted for my return.:0)ha ha

Hey Graham,
Thanks for the heads up, it all sounds quite exciting!

Unknown said:this means the Community will be unavailable for 3 days starting 16 May.
Thanks Graham
Really good news - I expect there will be a few teething problems along the way but I'm sure it will be worth the wait.
I shall probably get withdrawal symptoms for those three days. LOL
