Sorry DG for cutting it fine - posted up now. Thanks for organising, much appreciated
Hello Kev

Have been in touch with Ryan regarding competitions and he is happy for anyone else to run some.He does not consider it his territory at all.
In view of your "leave it with me" suggestion I wondered what you were thinking. I don't know how much control you are willing to give members but I was wondering about a separate Competitions Forum with super moderator (if there is such a thing on the new version,that's what I was on my old forum) status granted to myself just on that forum, not any of the others.Over the years I have found it helps enormously if I can close threads temporarily and then re-open, delete some threads (whilst still being able to recover them if necessary) which stop the flow of a competition and a few other things I can't remember off the top of my head. Of current members archie,Bonjers and Spectre could vouch for me as they used to sponsor and take part in them on another Forum and Old VIc used to take part in my annual Galway Festival,Glorious Goodwood Competition (they fall in the same week) which was a England v Ireland v Scotland v Wales v Rest Of The World contest with players drawn up from wherever their location, it made for good craic.I have found an alternative hosting site which is easier for me to use and can insert easily read spreadsheets into the body of the message according to the preview facility.
I was contemplating running a TTF, normally underway by now,. but from the start of The Open at Cheltenham in eleven days time so was going to test the water with a general thread to find out how many would be interested and whether it's worth running first which doesn't leave me much time, however I do have a list of 200 horses ready.

First things first though, whad'ya think ?

Hello Roger,

Yeah, still very keen on the idea.

In terms of the super moderator, that was definitely an option previously so I will just have to check it on the newer version as I've not seen it yet (although haven't looked).

Are you happy to set the first one up in the 'Cheltenham' forum for this first one, after that we can look at re-opening the Competition thread. We always pick up more attention starting things in that thread anyway.



Also, I messaged you earlier as I didn't understand your post in the upgrade thread where you said "Er...no!", it came across quite rude.... however that was because I didn't understand what you were referencing at all, now it makes sense and it wasn't rude, but that is why I asked you if there were any issues.

If you need me for anything, let me know.

Cheers,

Kev
