I'm sure we are all getting more unsolicited calls at the moment. I have been subject to the usual insulation offers and this morning had two calls from the 'Worker's Office' informing me I had a claim against my employer for various injuries. The favourite at the moment seems to be ear damage from...

Thanks Nolic & Ian I've killed off the National & Global News elements we won't be having them back The Local News I decided to keep, it covers BET, Craven Herals & LET only and I'll try and contain them to their own categories. The Job Vacancies I like, but again I have to control who c...

Like everyone else I'm still finding my way around the admin sections, with literally thousands of different settings to play with, but I'm getting there. What I have managed to do regarding our old Mutt - NEWS Hound is; Excluded the entire " Latest News Section " from Searches, so the pos...

Welcome aboard Moh, nice to see you again, we were just about to send out the search party for you.
