Happy 10th Anniversary

Postby THE MOD TEAM » Mon Apr 25, 2022 10:39 am

Today heralds the special 10th anniversary of our board.
Indeed, our history is a little longer than a decade, dating back to the BBC food messageboard for most of us.

We've now developed into our very own food community, focused on shared recipes, nourishing ideas and helpful experiences.
Some of us have also met in person, and will carry on doing so.

Let's make a celebration of our shared friendships, and long may our Food Refugee Board continue.

P.S. TO SEE THE NEW BIRTHDAY GRAPHICS, YOU'LL PROBABLY NEED TO REFRESH YOUR BROWSER, F5 or Command-R.

I echo all the above.
Particularly grateful to Lee for Wildies and Dakks for this community.
You are all a big part of my life and the knowledge, wit and wisdom are truly appreciated :newhuggy

Dakks? Quacks?

Big thanks to Gill for her food artworks which I've used for the new top and side graphics panels, really cheer the place up!

And big thanks to Gill and Sue for taking the helm while I've taken a back seat.

If you can't see the new graphics, you'll need to refresh your browser, F5 or Command-R.

Thank you from me, too. It’s such a nice community here. Lots of fun and useful information. We all really appreciate the work you Mods do.

I sometimes wonder whether I pass any of you in the street …

Love the graphics, Gill!

Mmm..can't see any new graphics. Have tried F5 and Control-R. I'm using a windows 10 PC.

I had a bit of trouble with them not loading, I think they will if you leave it a while

In Windows I forced the pictures to reload by
1. Right clicking on the picture and selecting Open image in new tab
2. Closing the Forum tab
3. Refreshing the tab with just the picture in it, which made it change to the new picture
4. Reopening the Forum

I had to refresh each picture (the banner across the top and the sidebar picture of Joan) separately

Had a similar problem with my iPad bit my iPhone did it all on it's own

Windowz?
Try shift or control +F5

That might shove it along.

& thanks Wic. It's what Sakkarin has done to them. I confess I love the number 10 version to the left.
And will incorporate that into a poster when I need one next.
Or maybe even a collage on a card, if I do something in mixed media.

I've lots of cards that I don't send. It looks like cutting them up a bit is the answer ;)
