Following a couple of forumite queries about there only being a limited amount of information for newbies, you may notice that I have made a few tweaks to the forum in the way of cosmetic thread moving for better reading, as well as making a few useful threads to help guide and inform newbies who join our community.

I have not quite yet finished, but hopefully the end result will look a bit smarter (in my opinion).

Any feedback, good or bad, as always, on any forum change...

Maybe some sort of 'Usernames Illustrated' competition? We could make a visual interpretation of a username of our choice and all vote on our favourite one.

I'm keen to hear ideas from everyone -- maybe we should have a "who can think of the best competition?" competition...

Sorry about the problem with image dimension limits in the Studio gallery, I thought when I changed the rest of the sizes I'd made it bigger. You should now be able to upload images 485px by 485px to the gallery and up to 200KB in file size.

Apologies for the misunderstanding but when I said tag your images 'bmc_xyz' what I meant is put that in the keyword field. I've changed the BMC post now so that should be clear in the future.

We have 4 wonderful draws to vote...
