Welcome everyone!!

I hope you will enjoy the new forum. Hopefully it will be easy to use.

The whole point is to have a space for everyone to exchange information on Italy and to indugle our love of the country. Feel free to post questions, comments or interesting facts.

If you have any suggestions to make there is a board for that too. I have also reinstated the Regional boards and I'm looking for moderators for them so please volunteer if you can. I am also looking for volunteers for the other boards. I will moderate the General one for the time-being but if it proves popular I will be looking for helpers.

Have fun
Penny

I've sent you a PM Penny, but in my "Sent" folder there is no record of it. Can you please confirm you have received it?

I got an email and I've replied

Penny will moderate for Marche, thanks for setting this forum up.

Thanks Angie.

Hi all! I've managed to register.

Wow! I managed to register! Thank you, Penny for creating this sanctuary for us! I was starting to feel very depressed. And thank you, Angie, for guiding me in the right direction. If I can help in any way, please let me know.

Gone back to my old ID so hope thats ok!! Thanks for setting it up.

Well no it's not ok I didn't know that was your old ID, but it's lovely to see people you respect for their opinions and great info.. Am I missing one or two e.g. is there a "Ram" on here yet? Don't think it will take too long to get to know who is who. Do hope all the "die hards" that made the other forum will end up here...

Thanks Penny for setting it up. I am not happy with Facebook so really grateful to get something similar to the 'old forum' back. Hopefully I will be able to contribute by remembering my password - always forgot before and quite often wasn't worth going through the efforts of 'remembering' it.

You're all very welcome and thank you for joining . RAM is on here too but has gone back to his Old id. I have put a field on the profile so you can list your previous forum id if you want to make it easier for old friends to find you.

Try to take the time to fill in the profile if you get a second and remember I'm looking for moderators so volunteers gratefully accepted.
Penny

Penny, I could also moderate for Tuscany, if you haven't got any other volunteers. I used to start quite a few threads on "Bella Toscana" in the past...

Well, I guess you'll all know who I am if you look at my (yet another) screen name, so no introduction required. I'm here to make sure there is some "lively debate" from time to time.
For all our tiffs over many years over the road, I am really pleased to see the old faces here.
I'm having the very first complaint by saying I don't like these smileys.. can we get some new ones?

We'll get a lot of new things over time (like pictues) but piano, piano

Thanks for the welcome Steve, good to see you on here as well.

I'll do the Campania section if that's OK? No-one else will probably post there anyway so I'll only be moderating myself.

That'll be a first!

And that will be fun to watch

Thanks Miss D. I will make you moderator!

This new forum must be having an effect. Everyone is being so friendly!!!

Morning all. I was Annec before but this time decided to take the name of an Italian hero who you may not have heard of. Feel free to google!

Welcome! You can put your old forum name on your profile if you would like people to find you.

Jeez! This is gonna be fun, it's like old times - all we need now is Sancho and Tinks and Lax and Oneto along with a ton of others... and of course,Turtle.
Can ya believe it? I'm a Mod! Ronni would spin!

Well, you now have to be good ..............

God may be answering my prayers... As Pope Francis says, miracles do happen

Aw come on Geo - ya know ya'll love a bit of a rumpus now and again and we don't want a repeat of the complete boredom we've all had to tolerate for the past couple of years.

It's a new forum so lets start fresh and I'll pray alongside Gala for a miracle on the condition that my knees can tolerate it, but you have to remember, I'm eleventy seven...

Just wanted to wish you luck with the new forum!
