Just got mine Martin, hopefully you have yours now too.

Thankyou Joe. I use Firefox too, and saw everyone talking about this add on here and was interested. Ads don't bother me that much on sites, just occasionally they annoy me. I shall give it a go today and try to train it to my way of thinking!

Can someone explain in words of one syllable (all right then 2, but keep it simple please) how this works and how I can set it up to only block ads?

It certainly is for one I started in any case

phpbb is the most used forum software. The previous incarnation of PU forum used PHPBB. Many many forums do.

Hey AJ I really like your new avatar!

Actually i'm the one who referred to you all as Luddites, not Peter. I accept that the forum has faults and problems, but I found the general outcry that things had changed ridiculous when most of you had not taken the time to explore the new site, or see how things developed.
PHPBB3 would be a better option maybe, at least it would be mostly familiar to everyone.
To leave the forum after less than a day of the new format seems a bit extreme and very sad. Maybe if we were to get back to discussing Pentax and photography rather than the forum things would be better here.
Use the forms to point out problems. This whole thing is getting rather boring, and is more likely to drive me from this forum than any change in format.

Click on the community button at the top - then you can see who chooses to show that they are online.

It makes me wonder how you lot ever switched to digital cameras. "If it ain't broke don't fix it"? Well film wasn't broke, nor was the *ist D yet many of you now are proud owners of K10D or K20Ds.

I like it. Yes there are still bugs in the system, but I'm sure they will be ironed out in the coming days.
