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

Those with avatars just all got a little green person - a bit of extra motivation to get your own personalised avatar! No, not really - just a way to keep everything spaced out neatly

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.

I've added paging by default (a new page every 30 comments) and also you can personalise it any way you prefer.however - could I suggest that you start a new post for every question?it is enough you tag them with "abruzzo quiz" and we will be able to collect them under a category automatically. also it will be easier to understand what is the question we are dealing with without having to go through lots of pages, etc -
hopefully the new links at the top will ensure that you never loose something you created or a post you participated in. New activity gives you all the posts that you haven't read yet, my activity gives you all the posts you have participated in and my posts gives you just the content you created.
no great consipary - your pointer passes over "Italian Property" and as a result you see the property sub-menu...I've changed the settings to reduce the sensitivity so you have to hover a bit more over property before you see that submenu - hopefully this will improve things for you.
we should start a movement to get Italy to participate once more - San Remo just doesn't offer the same entertainment value...Who remembers Toto Cutugno and "insieme... unite unite europe" :bigsmile: (sorry I know I am not a member of the Red Lion )
Hi elicat - thanks for joining and the great intro. Looks like you have a lot to offer - we have a small girl which is growing up bilingual (and tri-cultural almost!) but one of the challenges we are finding is to create more opportunities for her to speak English with others (as there are few English expats in South Sicily and even fewer with kids!)if you have any questions about the site and how to use it please askronald
just realised that this pizzeria is called "Rebel Angels" - that is original :)
I searched Google for "pecore, abruzzo, inverno" and the only stories that came up are about sheep being eaten up by bears or wolves...http://newscontrol.repubblica.it/item/509310/orso-sbrana-tre-pecore-in-a...Then I though ok let us just ask Google straight "Dove vano le pecore di Abruzzo in inverno" and I get the answer "nei pagliai" - which obviously raises the question: "What ARE pagliai then...."So back to Google with "pagliai, pecore" which gives nothing much. Then we try Google Images and I get thishttp://www.leditoriale.com/uploads/news/1226434876-1698-pagliare-tione_b...and thishttp://www.leditoriale.com/index.php?page=news&news=149and that is my answer.

that last dish looks seriously interesting - thanks for sharing
thanks - get ready to test restaurant reviews in about 5 min!
1. In the piazza you see posts that are relevant to you - so if you are a member of the Marche group you will see Marche group postings in the piazza etc.2. This post was created under the Help Group AND the Marche Group (cross-posting) and that is why Gala (who is not a marchese) can see it
