      Welcome.

    Meh

    Don't let me in!

    I don't want to be mutated. I like the idea of my posts being lovingly looked at by a moderator before they 'go live' (I miss you Sarah). Why should I be forced to give up that thrill just for the sake of a little formatting?

      Done - and why don't you give the user forum a try-out, while you're at it.

      Yes you can - see if you can find some playmates.

      PS Matthew 3 sounds like scripture - chapter but not verse.

      I am curious, hypnotic

      You have only made two posts (and this one) in 2.5 years. Why do you want these super powers and will you actually use them?

        Happy

        Re: I am curious, hypnotic

        I do read the article comments regularly but I just don't post anything when I don't have anything to add on to discussion but I do post my opinion in the forums when the discussion is not about an article. It is up to you whether do you want me to give me the super powers or not.

    My problem with all this is....

    finding the actual forums in order to browse them.

    Seriously, if there's a quick link you've hidden it astonishingly well.

      Quick link for beta front page

      Yes, we could be better, and apologies if we are being a pain. We will flip the switch in the next week or so - to enable people to get to the new user forums from the front page, but first we want to kill some bugs

    Don't HTML markup tags already work? Still, put me down for some superpowers - I fancy X-ray vision, Drew.

    you mean I can really truly have a decent rant

    at last, I can do a rant on why ITIL implementations are a Bad Idea and worse practice.
