• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Ya gotta laugh... Installed these badges today!

yea BUT after 4 years of PMR and now osteo arthritis my body is slowing down.

A bit off topic (altho it does make me laugh, so maybe not... ;)) but this always gets me - here in Oz, that reads somewhat differently to what I think you might be meaning... And according to many of the 'internet pronunciation apps' out there, it might also sound/have a little different meaning to what you actually intended too... but then, just cos it's on the internet, it's not necessarily correct! 🤨

Anyhow, when I read that word 'yea' used in a context like that shown above, it does makes me a little confused momentarily, at least until my mind catches up after it takes a moment or two to do the 'Oz/Tank translation', ie. translating Australian English into American English, and then it invariably makes me laugh a little - not at your pain, but at my mind doing the slow translation and the disparity in meaning. :sneaky:

Here in Oz, 'Yea' would almost always be pronounced as 'YaY' ( or /'jei/ for those who care about that stuff) and mean '... an exclamation used to express joy, approval, or excitement...' Only I don't think that you meant to express 'joy, approval, or excitement' at 4 years of PMR pain - well, not unless you're really into the pain and it truly rocks your boat?! :oops: I rather suspect that you meant the word that we'd say/show/spell here in Oz as 'Yeah', and pronounce 'yair', in a sorta drawled out manner, basically a hybrid combination of yes and air... 😁

So once my brain catches up, I'd take it that your post quoted above doesn't actually mean 'Joy, approval, or excitement after 4 years of PMR and now also...'; but rather, it means what we'd write here in Oz as 'Yeah, BUT after 4 years of PMR and...' - which means anything but 'joy, approval, or excitement' at 4 years of pain! :unsure:

Just Sayin' - and you've truly gotta laugh, yeah? ;)
