Hello all, as you may have noticed there is a different text editor for inserting content. Still a couple of things to work out but it should allow us to upload images in both posts and replies to posts as well as have more smileys, etc.

Hi,sure this will not please everyone but the feedback we got is that having latest activity on the forefront is the most logical thing because with topics you don't get a proper view of everything.Topics are just a click away (as well as everyth

yes - i guess there are people who don't mind putting their full address (perhaps its a villa for rent, B&B or they just don't mind) - while others want to say where they are (in a 100km radius or less)
I get slightly nauseous whenever I have to deal with these things - but this might just be useful. How do they now when you got paid? Is there an upper limit of time (i.e. after six months you have to pay it no matter what...)
Hi Jackie - quite right. The information was there to help "geocode" the address and place the marker on the map automatically - so removed it from public view just so as to avoid any issues.As you said anyone worried about sharing the exact address can simply place the marker approximately close to their location. The location does not even need to be where you live - it could be your spot in Italy.

As I mentioned earlier - there is lots to do. working hard on it all and there are kinks to work out.cassini: you can just click on the map to place a marker where you are if you don't want to share your full location. it work on province level not regional level - so you would need to enter the province otherwise.will be explaining how the new format will work shortly - happy to see so many of you joining here.ronald
