FORUM UPGRADE COMPLETED ...

[manfredvijars]

Hi Manfred,

I've finished the forum upgrade. There appeared to be no problems and
when I tested the forum it looked okay. It would be advisable for you
to log in and test a few features (post a message, read a couple of
threads, do one or more searches, test other major features if any).

I spent an hour and half on it today.

The forum and your ipower site are fairly easy to use. I'm happy to
consider doing more work for you.

It would be best to let the forum be used in its current state for a
week or so before we do more changes (e.g., changing the captcha if
that turns out to be possible). This will ensure that we find out
about problems from the upgrade, if any (it's unlikely but best to be
sure).

Well I will make a post here for a test.

Thank you Manfred and Alice for the work done not just today but regularly in the background. Boards like these don't just work by themselves.

Thanks guys.

Hi Bob,

Try walking up to a group of men and women and saying, "Hey, girls, how's it going?" The reaction won't be positive. The men in the group probably won't find the feminine label amusing -- and certainly not arbitrary.

So why is the reverse acceptable? Why is "girls" gender-specific, but "guys" is not?

Guys is often used to describe a group of people of both sexes. Probably more American than Australian but its useage now is fairly common.

Been waiting for this for years but never had the opportunity to use it.

Thanks Darren



Whatever
