HI

A lot of you will have know that I have been taking a break from the E30 Zone due to my ill health (Fibromyalgia, Hypermobility Syndrome and bilateral Osteo Arthritis in my knees). I had a really rough time with being in hospital a few times last year, with one stay lasting 41 days. The worst part was not being able to get onto my beloved E30 Zone - it was sheer torture!

I just wanted to announce that I am back and am going to be taking it easy and allowing the moderators to do their stuff - not that there is much moderating needed to be doing as you guys know how to behave really well.

There were a couple of nasty, vicious, sexists and racist incidents, which thanks to the quick work of the E30 Zone team were caught very swiftly. Our extreme apologies if anyone had to read them. We believe that my laptop had been hacked and it was decided that it was an opportune time for me to take a break and prevent whoever was trying to bring down the E30 Zone. I think that this has worked and that person has given up. I've also installed some better security software. so that should also do the job.

So I just wanted to announce that I am back and will be doing a lot of work behind the scenes too.

So here's to a great E30 Zone 2005! May everyone enjoy it and have fun! :D

If all goes well Lizzie, we'll be going live tomorrow night, I've been working hard with Steve to get the site ready. I can't wait and I'm sure all the members will love the new site.

That explains why you have been able to get access to other parts of the site that I've been trying to get too. No wonders :lol:

I can't wait - I feel like a kid in a candy store, or a kid just before Christmas, waiting for good ol' Santa Claus to arrive on the roof with his reindeers! :lol: :wink:

Steve sent me some zip files which I've been reformatting into a template for the new site articles.

Today I resized every picture we have of our members cars for the random picture on the front page of the site, I wanted to work on my car but the tipping down rain prevented it :roll:

The weather has been appalling since New Year down here most of the time. Although there have been a couple of rays of sunshine here and then, but most of the time it has been cold and raining. Not the weather to work on cars, that's for sure.
