Have your say & ask the experts

Clare Newsome:

Yep, we're aware of that issue - just a bug in this version of the Forum software, which we're upgrading next month....thanks for your patience!

Clare Newsome:

Pah! Weekends are for wimps

Well, now the sun's gone in I've dragged myself inside and on to the Forums and am having a nice cold beer...

You've obviously been busy elsewhere too. Good job on getting the man from Arcam to join us, I hope he stays once he had some more character-testing questions which will no doubt follow. Do you count other industry names as friends which may occasionally could join?

There are many in the industry who read these Forums - we know, because they soon start commenting to us about posts they do/don't like - and we're trying to encourage them to join in the fray themselves....

However, they're busy people with their own businesses/lives, and I think some see how much time/effort we're putting into it (and how demanding people can get if we're off the Forums for a few hours!) and aren't keen to set unrealistic expectations re their involvement.

But I'd love to be proved wrong

Good morning Clare  

I don't think I am going to get anywhere near your 3,700 posts any time soon! My own policy is to try to add helpful technical or market background information from time to time, where it seems relevant. Hopefully that will make the forums more valuable for everyone.

Morning (or make that just afternoon) John, and a very warm welcome to our Forums - it's been great to see you up here, and hope, as you mention, you'll become a regular contributor, as well as encouraging fellow industry folk to get equally involved.

Hi John

Glad you finally made it on to the Forums after our little – ahem – technical difficulties on Friday! The internet, don't you love it? Anyway, welcome to the fray and please fell free to post away...
