Hi everybody. I arrived home yesterday after a fabulous World cruise on the Aurora. DK was kind enough to let me know about this forum. I'm finding it a little confusing at the moment but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it. Meanwhile can someone tell me if we can send PM's as we used to on the P&O forum and if so how? :

Go into the User Control Panel, the little wheel next to new messages and then you will see the option for Private Messages.....

Welcome home, Mary Jane!

As you probably know, the P&O site folded as soon as you left - they said there was no point in going on if you were not going to post a cruise report

Very pleased to hear that you enjoyed your cruise - how could you not?! and we are delighted that you found us here. You have an awful lot of catching up to do but it will keep you busy for a week or two while we wait for Spring.

Unfortunately, for one reason or another, not all of your friends have made it across the divide but you will recognise a couple of hundred or so, I guess, and there are a good few newbies for you to get to know. It will not take you long to get used to the forum and I'm sure you will find it more user-friendly than the P&O version.

Now, get back to your ironing.

Hi emjay. Welcome home and welcome to the site.

Another way of sending a PM - hover your mouse over the name of the person you are PMing (left hand side where their avatar is) A dropdown menu appears giving you the opportunity to PM. The only thing is it includes their post as a quote but you can easily delete that if you want.

And welcome

[emjay45]

Thanks Paul and everyone for the replies. To all of those groaning and saying Oh No ! I thought we'd got rid of her you can blame Dark night I'm slowly fathoming out this forum. It's good to see so many familiar faces. I love the smilies.

Hi Emjay, nice to hear from you again. We were on the last leg of the same cruise so we may even have shared the same table! Glad you have joined us.

[emjay45]

QB you're not THAT Bob are you

[Quizzical Bob]

I might have been under my stage name of 'Robert'. Did you do any quizzes?

[emjay45]

QB No I didn't do any quizzes. You must be confusing me with the other beautiful older lady on the ship. I did help another Bob out with one or two answers to one of the quizzes but I'm pretty sure it wasn't you.

Welcome home Emjay

Can't wait to hear how your cruise went on a ship I know so well.

Hi EmJay, glad you found us ... you kept that quiet about going on a "worldie" .. are you doing a review

[emjay45]

Hi melsea and Dancing Queen
Melsea I read your cruise report avidly to find out what a World cruise would be like. I love the Aurora and it turned out to be a great experience.
Dancing Queen I did keep it quiet I was a little worried that a few of the reprobates on the forum would announce on Facebook that we were holding a party at our house and we'd come back to find the place burnt to the ground. I was a little miffed not to be able to keep in touch while on the cruise. It's so good we have this forum. Thanks David As to a cruise report maybe when I've done all the washing and ironing

[oldbluefox]

Emjay - 'a few of the reprobates on the forum would announce on Facebook that we were holding a party at our house and we'd come back to find the place burnt to the ground.'

So whose house were we partying at if it wasn't yours emjay? Are your neighbours still speaking to you?

[emjay45]

OBF Oh Dear!!! We wondered what happened apparently the neighbours are in rented accommodation at the moment. Fortunately when the police questioned us we were able to prove we were out of the country at the time.

[oldbluefox]

Have you not got your gun-totin' avatar sorted yet?

[emjay45]

I'm afraid my OH was relieved when the P&O forum was pulled. I think he missed me I haven't the heart to tell him I've found an alternative and as I need help to put up an avatar it may take some time. I think my son will help me, we have to wait for the right time.

[Manoverboard]

... I need help to put up an avatar ...

Find a suitable pic and then copy it for use on here cos it's gonna get shrunk to 100 x 100

' Shrink my pic '

To Upload ... User Control Panel (Cog ) / Edit Avatar / Browse to the shrunken pic / Submit.

Et voila

[emjay45]

Thanks MOB will give it a try. Might take me a while though
