Default So whats actually changed.

The new look forum has been running for a few months now.

It was rushed into place,rightly IMO, in reaction to an offensive attack.

But we were told that changes would be made to make the new reflect the good bits of the old while retaining the benefits of the new.

As far as I can see there have been no significant changes.

It would be really nice to have some sort of info on what is planned (or not), or is this the finished work?

A reply from admin to some of the suggestions and ideas posted on this particular forum would be a good start, the silence is deafening!

To answer your question, I would be very suprised if "whats" should in fact have a hyphen. Personally I would go for an apostrophe right before the s as it is a contraction of "what has", ie "what's". To me "what-s" just doesn't look right.

I could be wrong of course.

The server syncronisation issue seems to have highlighted some shortcomings in the IT Dept.
Perhaps they are going back to the academy for the second week of their NVQ, so things may improve.


Nah
