I know I haven't been around for a long time (hanging head in shame) but why has everyone left the other forum?

Hi Connie and welcome.
The other forum seems to still be in disrepair and who knows if and when it will be 'radically' updated. However, let's not even worry, you are most welcome here and you will find many familiar names.
Feel free to join in and ask questions.

Welcome aboard. And like others have stated, the "radical site upgrade" was a huge downgrade. It's been 2 (3?) weeks and basic functions still aren't working or available. They basically bought a new e-commerce package that had a message board function added as an afterthought, and it shows. I fear their web-store is going to be a mess, too, soon.
