Questions Asked
Navigating a website with lots of information is pretty tricky - and one of the things I really did not like about the previous forums is the fact that you could not simply say:
"I want all culture-related topics that refer to Sicily"

I've been trying to figure out what the best names (and categories they represent) for different roles within the community could be - and the information gathered from members registering so far has helped a lot to help me decide.Essentially - to

Hello to all who have bravely found their way here - please fire away with questions about the website. It is all in a very rough state right now but we are working hard to polish everything and get a nice place for us to discuss.

welcome on board - I think we should have a whole "before and after" section to share photos. I always find them fascinatingcheck out the FAQ for help on how to use the website and don't hesitate to ask any questions

alan h's document is quite comprehensive but it was missing one bit I was really looking for - where does cerasuolo the word come from. Elicat got that right with "kerasi" which is literally cherry in greek.So 20 goes to the fund and t-shirt to elicat which hoepfully will start a new post, tag it Abruzzo Quiz and give us the next question - and if Jinty and/or alan h pop a symbolic amount in the fund I'll fire off two t-shirts their way as well

DOCG means denominazione di origine controllata e garantita. Very few wines have that honour south of Rome and Sicily's first one is produced in the area of Ragusa.There are two grapes involved ... and the name of the wine has a place name in it. The initials C d V come on, I am practically giving this away now...
Hi, as the member agreement has changed we asked everyone interested to re-register once more so that you all had the chance to see the changed member agreement. The old forums are available here http://www.italymag.co.uk/forums so no information has been lost but the only facility active is the private message system so you can keep in touch with members and exchange e-mails, etc.
Hit F5 or Ctr-R to refresh your browser and the message should stop popping up. To insert the film you need to click on the tiny flim icon to the left of the smilies on the toolbar above (not just paste the link in the text area.
Hi, you are right - but the settings were wrong. I just fixed it - the total size of a gallery is 20MB while each image can be a max of 2MB. Before both the total size of gallery and max per image size were set at 2mb - not really a realistic scenario
Best, Ronald
