			<description><![CDATA[I am stepping down as the Admin for this forum with immediate effect.  I will be acting as a caretaker for the technical side of the site until someone with the technical ability to manage the back end can take over.
<br />

<br />
If you want the job you need to have been a regular contributor for some time, and have the approval of all the mods.
<br />

<br />
Corsair is now a Moderator, so be extra nice to him, and do as he says!
<br />

<br />
Thanks,

			<title>Ebay section changed to For Sale section</title>
			<link>http://www.forum.westoneguitars.net/site-news-updates-f7/ebay-section-changed-to-for-sale-section-t801.htm</link>
			<dc:creator>Administrator</dc:creator>
			<description>By popular request I've changed the Ebay section to allow private For Sale adverts.  There are very specific rules in a Sticky post in the newly renamed For Sale section, please make sure you read them before you post anything for sale.  Failure to stick to the rules will result in me throwing my toys out of the pram...   



Ebay, Craigslist and any other auction/sale website are very welcome. </description>

			<description>Well, there you are!  

I was about to give up ever seeing these forums again! I have been getting &quot;Unable to Find Server&quot; and &quot;Unable to Connect&quot; errors for about 3 days now. I got the odd notification message of a new post, but when trying to respond I hit the above messages instead.



I noticed a change in domains also, have you been trying to switch over to a different hosting platform?

So, like, what's a-happenin'? </description>

			<description>I was recently uploading an image to a post and clicked on your &quot;Host an image&quot; button in the editor.

I wanted to see what your board's configuration was (I normally use Photobucket and it appeared as if you might be hosting the images as well as text, and would save me the trouble of uploading and linking from there).

Not so, I found out.

It automatically set up an account for me which I didn't really need, so I canceled and used Photobucket.



Later I thought I'd have a look at  ...</description>

			<description>Hello Chaps,   



I have decided that from now on, I will no longer be signing myself as 'Pauline' at the end of my responses to your posts! I've come to realise that I am Polly to the vast majority of you in any case, so I might as well go the whole hog and re-christen myself.   



There you go then, it's official! I am now POLLY, Moderator of these forums and boss of you lot!

			<description>Hello Chaps,   



I was intending to do this earlier today, but better late than never! It is exactly a year today since Neil started these forums... doesn't time fly?



Anyway, I want to say a HUGE THANK YOU to Neil for making all this possible and to you guys for supporting me in my role as Moderator, you've made my job really easy so, THANK YOU ALL!   

Here's to many more happy years to come!

			<title>Quotations and Pruning!</title>

			<dc:creator>Pollyanna</dc:creator>
			<description>Hello everybody,



I have noticed recently that quite a few posts are containing quotations in the responses. 

There is nothing wrong in that except that sometimes, perhaps quoting the complete reply in 

response to a previous post from another member is not necessary, especially if the post is quite long

or contains photographs.



Might I suggest that a bit of careful pruning of the quotation be in order?

 

For Example: 



If you wish to quote a particular point that another member has  ...</description>
