SS and Les - totally with you on the Chinese recipes and of course in the not too distant future someone will say something to offend someone and it will ignite the forum again.

Hope not SL, we have lost too many already through stupidity, And unfortunately this forum is the loser.

Certainly Not.

it's quality more than quantity that sits well with me.

there is such a lot of information already posted that makes new more difficult - so in a way it might give that impression.

a lot of posts don't really prompt discussion either - pictures of my curries without detail recipe being a personal switch off.

for new starters it must be better than it's ever been (less blind alleys).

the important thing is that overall the site is most certainly dedicated at improving our collective curries.

there is much much more that we don't understand which will keep us going for a good time yet.

I don't think this forum is dying. Its just the summer lull
Its the only forum I bother about. I have had so much fun over the years in my search for the perfect curry. The search isn't over yet, and neither is my enthusiasm.

Its nice to be part of this community. I know I dont post hundreds of comments a day (empty vessels make the most noise etc lol) but I read virtually every post on here. Its good to read about other peoples endeavours - good and bad. Even the bitching and back biting keeps me entertained.

Think I need to get out more hahaha

Often on forums like these, people join and post to ask a specific question; and, if they don't get a reply after some time, consider the time they spent doing so wasted and go elsewhere, not to return. I expect.

I thought it was an ad. Yes, I agree, get rid of it please, DO 

[Gav Iscon]

I wouldn't mind if I knew what it was for.

Another reason why people might be turned off the forum now, is your current, most irritating flashing graphic signature.

Where do you see this signature, George ?  I see neither signatures nor avatars for members, so perhaps it is a user-selectable option as to whether such things are displayed or not.  For me, far more off-putting is the landing page, which I normally bypass : to get from the landing page to my default entry point (List of recent message headers :  http://www.curry-recipes.co.uk/curry/index.php?action=forum#upshrinkHeaderIC) requires me to click on two intermediate links and then scroll down; I would far prefer a lean, mean, landing page with a direct (not indirect) link to the forum.
