thanks guy's. I will no doubt be up to 10 posts in no time. it's nothing urgent and nothing private. it was just about my access to the aussie forum. it won't let me login in even though i have done the activation. as i can't login, i can't post, and there are no contact details listed anywhere in case of things like this... wasn't sure if the mods/admin here would want me to talk about an opposing forum here on their forum... i guess there's no bad blood, otherwise he wouldn't have a membership here, lol.
