Title: New Mods
Post by: Jane S on August 25, 2009, 06:52:35 PM
Some of you may already have noticed that we have three new general Mods, Nicola, Livercake and PennyB (who is no longer confined to just the Rescue Board :D). Now the forum is often so busy, it will be a big help to have a few more Mods around to make sure things are running smoothly :D

For newer members, here's the list of COL "staff" (although we are all voluntary :D)

COL's owner and Admin Numero Uno: Stueymac
Admins: Colin & Jane S
Global Moderators: Michele and Mary
General Moderators: Livercake, Nicola & PennyB

Nothing at all really, they all have the same powers of destruction.  :police:  :lol2: It's a long time since new Mods were appointed so the forum software settings are not something we are over-familiar with - and the new Mods have ended up with a slightly different name to the existing ones.

How can we donate, I have clicked the link and the site home page is not working currently so does not let me.
What an amazing person to do this for free, COL and its memebers brings me such pleasure and useful advice and tips I would be lost without it.

Thanks for the response Jane. sorry that this is off topic.
