Liked the preview - love the new forum.
Just one question ...
How do you find the first unread post in a thread?
The page number appears above the first post on a page, and below the last post on a page. On the left of the numbers, there's a 'Go to First Unread' button - I think that's what you meant! If not, let me know :)

Hi carb Foods

As long as you don't substitute him for turkey! And the closest to stuffing a nice meal of his favourite fruits, nuts and seeds.
A merry first Christmas of many to you both!

My tesco Hudl "play store aps still says that DCKU Forum is currently under maintenance, then it tries Connecting to server( little wheel keeps going round)". it works ok when using chrome on the hudl. this is just for your info as I have my lap top which I mostly use.

The only other slight problem I think I have is " how do I find the group of topics that I have participated in"

Thanks and it is so much better, well done everybody.

Roy :)

Yeah we're currently waiting for the latest build of the app to be approved by Google. Hopefully it shouldn't be any more than a few hours.

You should be able to find previous contributions here: http://www.diabetes.co.uk/forum/members/izzzi.45094/#postings

What is the difference between New Posts and Recent posts? ( I am expecting a blindingly obvious answer here)
I need a quick way to keep up to date with what is going on and I would always head for this on the old forum

Cara.
I need an avatar now....

It's all built in to the WYSIWYG editor at the bottom of the page.

Any chance you can send me a screenshot of how it's appearing for you?

WYSIWYG = what you see is what you get

Whelks,winkles... All crustaceous seafood except prawns. Can't do crab.lobster or scallops.
Don't like the way they are killed and cooked. Save our Scallops. SOS !!!
Also HATE evaporated milk.

Thanks Fergus.

I buyJohnson + Jeffs low sunflower parrot mix and top it up with Johnson+ Jeffs fruit,nut and veg mix. He loves it. I don't give him any treats at all. His previous owner gave him Wotsits,Quavers and dog biscuits but I'm not going down that route as I have read a lot on how bad salt is for parrots.

He is a very happy bird and I am a very happy owner who found a really lovely 4 year old African Grey who luckily has taken to me.

I like the 'like' function and I also like how my avatar appears in threads I have posted in.

You have all done a fine job !!
