Congratulations Ford and best wishes to you in your new capacity as an Admin

Thanks guys, I just try to help where I can

Congratulations Ford. It would appear to be a thankless job but you and JB, as always, will handle it well.

Do you now think that you can get rid of Sucuri?

And, of course, congratulations Ford

Orrin - baby steps lol

Follow this slogan for Admin:

"not only Answer - but Develop - in a minute"

Are you ready to upgrade yourselve?

Is there a raise with Promotion Ford?....

just kidding....congrats Sir....I have enjoys many years working with you....

of course there is a raise, we got a 50% increase (on zero)

ohhhh!!!.....I know that raise....1.5 of nothing is still................nothing.....

I used my XL expertise to determine that.....

Knew it would come in handy sooner or later, right?
lol

defintely...

Good luck in your new role. . I have to be honest and say I don't envy you . But, enjoy

From JB's perspective, a problem shared

Thanks Trevor. Not sure about the "enjoy" part, but I guess it is what you make of it. Just trying to give back a bit for all I learned from here

haha thanks, yes, now Im in teh black LOL

Yeeeyyy.

Congrats Ford.

Regards,
Vlady

Congratulations, Ford. All the best.

I'm sure things can only improve with you on board.

Cheers

Thanks to all of you for your words of encouragement, I hope I can justify them

I'm sure things can only improve with you on board.

Be nice to think they couldn't get any worse, but ... (Nothing to do with Ford's elevated status, of course )

Of course not

@ FDibbins,

I am so proud of you with you promotion!

Baie geluk my vriend, knap gedaan.

May you only enjoy the best off all in you new elevated Status!

Kind regards.

Good morning Ford,

My belated congratulations - I've only just seen this one.

So whilst I'm here can I suggest we add to the rules and also the canned replies, the recommendation that you've been picking up on recently whereby we would like solutions wherever possible to be included in the body of posts.

Thanks Richard :L)

Not sure we could really make that a rule (there was a discussion thread, tried to it, no luck) but there is already a canned reply for that

Ah, OK I hadn't spotted the canned reply.

But on then general point about rules, what's your view on modifying the layout of the rules. Most people don't seem to read them anyway and even if they mosey on over to have a look at them the first visual impression is sort of in your face and could be somewhat daunting putting off any further reading.

How about a 'Contents' list at the top which contains only the title of the rule, with the expanded meaning of each rule shown in its full glory underneath the list?

I agree they tend to be a bit long-winded and wordy, maybe they could be trimmed down somewhat

I'm behind on the forum lately (personal issues) but you (Ford) mentioned in post #6 it being a bit strange seeing that title under your name. I would say that seeing forum expert under my name is still strange for me especially since I think I got it only due to perseverance and not skill
YOU on the other hand do deserve it. I also saw Glenn recently move to Guru status and congratulated him personally but not on the site.
so a BIG CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU BOTH! GOOD WORK!
I hope you each got raises and big corner offices too (ha ha)!

Thanks for those awesome words of encouragement, Sambo. Im sure it must have been really great to meet 1 of teh members from here, I almost got to do that with a member from South Africa when I went there, but the lay-over between flights proved too short

Ha Ha, sorry for the confusion, I didn't mean I met Glenn personally to congratulate him (though that would have been great) no I meant I sent him a personal congratulations via the private e-mail on the forum. It is funny how you can write things having one meaning in mind but it can be interpreted many ways.
