[ronrca]

hi! when simpydiscus changed forum software, the links didnt transfer. Its a matter of trying to find them again if possible. I thought I had them all working again but it seems thats not the case.

[atos]

Hi ..I'm new at this forum. It is strange, I do not see any pics in palces were should be some?

[ed8t]

Hi Atos, welcome to Simply:)

When Simply changed to the new forum software IIRC last summer, only text were able to transfer over to the new platform, so no pics for posts prior to the conversion date unless the pics owners were kind enough to post them again.

[Greg Richardson]

Thanks for putting them all together!
