just to say hello...

Yo! (Am posting this to see whether my avatar appears. Not that I'm particularly bothered about avatars one way or the other.)

Hi, everyone.

I hope this forum is a great success.

Many thanks to everyone on FoR3

(By the way, the red is a bit harsh but that can be tweaked later.)

[VodkaDilc]

This all looks most impressive. Many thanks to french frank and anyone else involved. I must confess that I was almost caught out by the question about completing the programme title. I wanted to write "Pick" of the Week, until I remembered that's on R4.

[maestro267]

Present and accounted for!

I wish this new forum every success.

Hello, peeps.

Do people want to post avatars? I think it's switched off at the moment.

I don't know what I've done to the colour scheme. I keep repainting it but it stays the same shade. There are smilies somewhere as well, but I seem to have lost them.

[maestro267]

Re. avatars: Yeah, that might be interesting; see what people can come up with. It might show a creative side to our members we knew nothing about before.

[Mary Chambers]

I don't mind the colour. Thank you for this new chance to air our views.

I don't need avatars, thank you. I had enough trouble trying to get mine right on R3OK, and don't really want to do it again.

[Bryn]

Oh yes, let's have avatars, preferably with the same sort of bell and whistles as over at r3ok.com, i.e. with a facility for a short personal text below the avatar itself.

Hello from ffreezing Scotland and well done ff ffor setting this up!!

[maestro267]

For me, this thread has the feeling of us all walking into the welcome lounge, putting our 'bags' down and taking a seat.

All we need now are drinks.

Mr Bax has entered the building. It's a little unfurnished and echoey at the moment but once the crowd arrive with bottles and nibbles it will feel like home.

[Anthonius]

Yes, well very done French Frank! It all looks to be a very good go-er.

[Chris Newman]

Hi, everyone.

Thanks, french frank, for all your hard work.

I used to be (formerly)modestchristoff. I have decided to use my name. I hope you get used to it. Just to say I am not an American actor, an active rugby player, a composer/painter living in Berlin, nor a folk-guitarist living in Bath.

Great to read old names again.

Oops - a fine start (hic!) Yes, very well done French Frank!
