Oh Crap!! They changed everything
Lexie and everybody - apologies and sackcloth & ashes time!
I thought, oh I'll try that and people can click on a link and see photos - I didn't think it would be plastered all over the front pages.
I haven't even got the best photos up and as for that sideways one. Furthermore its got nothing to do with ebay.
More to the point, I can't edit it - the only thing I can do is delete the first picture! I can't touch anything else as I have a fixed editing window with no scroll bars. Help!

Where ARE those Isaac Mizrahi glasses when we need them???
I think you need better glasses than that BJ 
Can we transfer our voyages of discovery to BJ's OOhh! thread - its a better title for one and its not seven pages long - yet!
I may stay and discover in here, just to spite you Camera
Why are Aussies always so Bloody Stroppy!
Coz we can be!! Wanna make something of it Camera?
Thought you were going to bed?
AS a nine year old, I had the misfortune to travel out on the P & O Chusan to Ceylon with a whole lot of Aussie kids en route home.
Do you know they would fight their way to the head of the morning free Ice Cream queue!
Never forgot that!!
Were you one? Probably not, as you sound considerably younger than me!

Good Morning everyone! Hope you all have a fun day figuring out this new forum! I like it pretty well.
Morning!
Yea, I'll give it the thumbs up.
...will take a little getting used to though.

Oh well, Puppy, it keeps our minds uhhhh..well, anyway, I'm sure we'll learn! Did you take the survey on My Snipes yet?
Survey... Yes.
... didn't see it till just now though.

Now you can express any frustrations you might be harboring!
Can't believe you can go back and edit old posts!!

Now is the time ........
Somebody doubtless will slap me in the face for saying this but now we have a new look, can we not bring a bit of order to the proceedings!
My first proposal is simple, each morning somebody starts a "Good Morning" thread.
If you start it today, you can't start it for a few days (else Lexie by virtue of geography would do it each morning) This would then be the chat thread. It doesn't stop yesterday's Good Morning from being added to if something was in mid flow, but it would make for a snappier & fresher approach.
Secondly and more controversially, I would like to see the abandonment of the "mixed" topic where a serious subject then becomes the repository for "chit chat" about other things.
For example, "the gathering storm" is finished as a topic, but because you all want to chat, it comes to the top of the list again - let it die say I!

Oh Camera - stop being so bloody anal.
I like the mix n match of topics.
And because of timezones old topics will always get resurfaced.
We *used* to start a new thread everymorning, but just means that we clutter up the whole ebay thread with numerous good mornings and it gets confusing!
Stop trying to be so controlling and let your Pommie hair down a little.

Oh whoops. Look like I stepped up to the plate for that one
Re my previous comment about your age - you are now beginning to sound very like an elderly fishwife!
It was just an idea .... sob..... if I can't organise you lot, who can I organise? That's the trouble being an incomer ... all the natives gang up on you! Note the date on my joining AS ........ I just chose to remain silent and watching you lot rant on. Now I join in, all I get is abuse!! (more background sobbing)
Actually the second point was my main complaint - three of my "dead & dusted" topics were being revived by your inconsequental chit chat!*
And by the way, what the hell is Vegamite? Is that another adulteration by Australians of a high quality, pure British product - Marmite?
(according to my son, providing you don't stick the butter knife in, it will last for ever)
*this hectoring tone might just be the result of not believing that a US seller really did mean "parts only" and paying $65 to find out that he meant it! Then to cap it all, my wife muttering to my daughter that "if any more little boxes`arrive that put him in a bad humour" that she will dump the lot in the nearest skip. What with that and her applying for planning permission (true, its been sent off) for a office/shed to get my my 3000+ books, magazines and car catalogues and cameras out of the house! Women!

Oh you typical Pom you!!
No wonder the Aussie comment that usually accompanies *pom* is *whinging*.
LOL @ me being an elderly fishwife.
You will soon learn (unless you are a slow learner) that all my posts are inconsequential and of the chit chat variety.
Why does it bother you so that your threads are still gererating interest? even if its only my interest? Maybe I have a gynormous crush on you and cant help but be drawn to your posts?
Oh and Marmite sucks big time, we have that here. It doesnt hold a candle VegEmite.
I think your wife is spot on and you should be banished from the house with your ill humour and dusty ole camera's.

Perhaps we should meet - "her indoors" has been trying, with little success, to get rid of me for years as there have been no offers. Perhaps my luck is changing! (I take it you are young & nubile?)
I have said that on retirement she can have a nice bijou bungalette with all mod cons and I will have a caravan in a field where I can peacefully dismantle old cars.
Now isn't that an enticing prospect?
Camera, you make me moan, groan! I agree with Lexie 100%! Loosen up and enjoy our fun unorganized forum! There are plenty of stuffy ones if you care to join them! 
How could I resist?
As long as you were able to keep me in the lap of luxury I have become accustomed to.
My family would disown me if I were to shack up with a Pom, they had enough to say about shacking up with a Yank.
Are you an only nephew with a wealthy Uncle?

Lexie, I think he is an uncle with a wealthy nephew!
Ahh well Mrs M - you know when it comes to gold digging, I am not that fussy
Well, true, Lexie, but I must warn you his nephew is still in diapers!
I am dead tired tonight. Saw an R V this morning on the puter for sale near Ft Lauderdale and went over, bought it, and brought it back. Must have seen 1000 gators on the way back home!
LOL - do they cross the road?
No, Lexie because the road has high fences that keep them in the swamp. That stretch of road is called Alligator Alley because there are so many here.
Sounds like a great place for a horror movie.
Lol, why do you think that, Lexie? I've had them in my yard. They are a lazy crew!
Its just a cool name for the scene of a horror movie.
"Dont walk down Alligator Alley" (said in a scary over voice).
We have Crocodiles over here. They are nasty nasty nasty and not lazy. Them and Great White Sharks make a meal of a fair few tourists every year.
Why they dont read the signs that say "Crocodile Infested Waters" and take a moonlight dip is beyond me.
Then the poor bloody Croc gets turned into a pair of shoes, a purse and some mighty tasty steaks.

We also have both here too, Lexie. There are a fair amount of shark attacks eack year. Lol, if you ever flew over the ocen and saw the sharks near shore, you'd probably never go in!
I dont go in.
I have seen first hand what they do.
I will dive with them, but I wont swim with the buggers underneath me.
