Ill be honest and say the "craic" just isnt here anymore, there seemed to be some bitching and moaning a while back and it never really repaired itself, chuck the odd party arsehole in for good measure and everything loses its shine.

Just my tuppence.
Did your man turn up for the other Ribcraft you were turning

I don't disagree, however where is the "craic" these days? I don't think there is one - so it's up to us to make of it what we want to. Hence you'll note I don't moan about rib.net - I just try to do posts that hopefully are interesting and helpful with the odd bit of pisstaking now & again (but hopefully not too much).

Maybe we’ve got used to your excellent work over the years & now take it for granted. I still look & admire, albeit from a distance.

Rule 4.

That came out a bit wrong didn't it, you pisstaker.

What I meant was these forums are a community and it's up to the members to make it what they want it to be, or not if nobody can be arsed.

So, a couple of updates from upstairs. The app had to go, it’s a pain and I definitely miss it. We all know that the current system is a bit long in the tooth, but there is a totally upgraded system in the pipeline. Watch this space for news.

In the meantime the slightly mean PM limits have been significantly increased, and photo uploading from iOS devices should now work OK using “manage attachments”. Small steps, but progress.

Yes, thanks for update.
Just tried photo upload from iPhone and now seems to work. Big thanks for that, it’s a great help.
