I can't see the problem with the rankings. Who really cares what they are called? It is a bit of fun, that's all. If you don't like it ignore it. I never even look at what ranking someone has, maybe because, as the owner of a forum myself, I understand that they go purely on the number of postings and have nothing to do with your skill level. Lighten up everyone .

As for the problem with new posts - I use the back button, to do back to the list of new posts, I don't close the page - again because I know the forum will assume you have now read everything on the list since you have closed it.

Oh what bad news. I'm so sorry for both of you.
I hope Fiona feels a lot better once it's fixed. I hope you were well insured!

You won't forget your honeymoon in a hurry, but maybe not for the right reasons. At least you should get good seats on the plane home .

Keep ua updated if you can, good luck to both of you!

I like it too. It has a Mediterranean feel to it.
Maybe a square crop is the solution.

Lovely photo Mike! Glad his blood test was OK. Imagine the frustration if the levels had been too low .

Givingtree, I am sorry to hear about Sasha, she was a beautiful dog.

Me too
So how many posts before you are a pro master?

Thanks Mike, I missed that!

Yes, shame we "foreigners" can't join in and let Pentax know what we want.

Have you given up on changing to Canon then?

If you followed the old route you went through the original Las Vegas too. The one which was on rte 66 unlike it's Nevadan upstart namesake.
I remember it being freezing in Santa Fe in March, even the native Americans at their market were complaining about the cold. How is it now?

I saw it too, but I'm not sure we non UK members can fill it in, since the first thing it asks for is your UK town .
