It took like ages to solve the stupid captcha.

Took me a while to register as well. I have JavaScript disabled for all sites by default and I didn't realise there even was a captcha until I started enabling sites to see what happened.

Somewhere. We'll find a new way of living, We'll find a way of forgiving Somewhere . . .
Fingers crossed we find a permanent home soon, daniel here!

By the way the "avatar maker" thingy in Profile/Edit Profile is fun. It doesn't work on tablets or phones though, so try it on your desktop.

Let's try some features. This is a reply. We have colours (though they're spelt in American), bold, italic, strikethrough, links and all the usual features. But I really, really don't like seeing red everywhere.

Blue is nice and calming. Green would be good too.

OK, mobile access at the other board sucks. I get redirected between loads of ad sites and end up in Nirvana. And it doesn't seem to be possible to edit posts from their mobile site.

Green velvet curtains? I would need to find a photo of blue seats.... I don't think I've ever been in a theatre with blue upholstery!

I've had a look around both forums now and yes, I like this one. It's easy to navigate and has all the features we're used to (including "like this post" which I failed to find on the other forum).

Getting seriously creeped out by all the bald egghead alien avatars in here.

For avatars click on PROFILE at the top of the screen, then the EDIT PROFILE button. You can upload one, link to one or create your own with the avatar maker.
