Thank heaven this appears to be a “normal” website. By that I mean one that is laid out in the usual way to ease navigation. Having joined another site for the those of us in the autumn of our lives, I found it far from easy to navigate and quite a number of members had voiced their opinion too. So the obvious thing was to ask our mutual friend Mr Google who told me about you, so hear we are.

We live in Dorset and have done for six years. Whilst most people down-size, we’ve just doe the opposite. From one loo to three, 2 bedrooms to five but all that is another story and for another day.

Hello Colin, welcome to our forum, we are a friendly bunch on here.

Whereabouts in Dorset do you live? We are thinking of moving there one day.

Looking forward to your chats.

Hi Colin, we have relatives who live in a small hamlet near to Bridport, and Dorset is one of our favourite counties to visit. Welcome to the forum. :slight_smile:

Greetings to you from me Colin, make yourself at home and join in on the forums at your will. Have fun.

Thanks to each of you for your warm welcome. I am especially pleased that the forum is alive, not so much with the sound of music, but the sound of typewriter keys as they get pressed frequently and posts are contributed. There is nothing more depressing than joining a forum and finding no- one has read or posted.

One question. I’ve yet to find a quick response of a " thumbs up" or " thanks" when some says something especially nice.

Bob, I’ve just clicked that exclamation mark on your post, thinking it could be a thumbs up, hope it hasn’t reported you as that wasn’t the intention.

Colin, if you go into Go Advance when posting a message, you will see smiley’s and you can request a Thumbs Up on there. Susie x :023:

16

where is advanced susie?

17

Colin, in the square box below, you will see the words ‘Post Quick Reply’ or ‘Go Advanced’.

Click on Go Advanced then write your message and smiley.

18

let’s give it a try, as yet, can’t find anything suggestive of a smiley :blush: oh yes, but what about if I read a post and think to myself, “that’s nice, they deserve an acknowledgment” ? and no comment.

:023:Hello and welcome!
There is a thumbs up smilie! Just click on “more” :wink:
