• We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

If you are posting a link to a news story, could you also PLEASE copy & paste the article into the thread?

Reason I ask is cause quite a few topics are about news stories, yet the story itself is no longer available at the link - it's like only reading every 7th line of a book.

If I were the owner of the site, I would not allow entire articles to be quoted. That is copyright infringement. "Fair use" would allow for key parts of the article to be excerpted and a link to the whole article to be posted.
