Thanks mate,

I'm guessing after reading the set up guide that my user ID means i was the
84th person to register here all them years ago.

Is Dave Ross still around here , owner / creator ?
I use to live up the road from him, haven't spoken to him for years and years.

I am pretty sure you are right about the userID, though after the 'reboot'. The forum did exist before you (re?)registered.

DR is still alive and kicking, unless it's just Nick moving his legs with a stick.

Yes, and no. It means you're the 84th person to register after the system was completely rebuilt some years ago (2004-ish IIRC), though before that, well, UserIDs are gone.

For all current purposes, yes, number 84.

And yes, DR is still around and still owns the place.

And yes, Scan do free shipping for active members. After a period of absence, they may or may not want to activate it straight away (their choice), but if not, all it ought to take is a brief period of activity. It is supposed to be a perk for active members as part of the collaboration and they do sometimes frown on people that appear to simply be wishing to save the postage, so they might require a bit more recent activity. As I say, their call.


Oh, and ..... welcome back.
