just seen my signature appear, wasn't really bothered about that but seems good it all got moved over

Thanks Brian,
SH was set up to help people who were relatively new to the satellite world and might find other forums intimidating.
They should find TW equally welcoming and hopefully will not mind the change over as TechWatch has a similar friendly attitude.

I definitely hope it continues this way.

Just noticed that I have 2 accounts. My satellite help account that has been transferred is with a small j and my techwatch account which I registered in may is with a capital j

I think your TW account accidentally got deleted during the import, jontydog - I tried to tweak the settings so that members with a SH account and TW would see them merge automatically, but it looks as though that process crashed halfway through - leaving some SH staff with their accounts automatically merged, some who required merging after, and a couple including yourself and nanochicken where the TW account got deleted.

I could have gone back and redone the merger, but by the time I realised, at least 2 hours of site edits had already taken place, and it seemed a lot of work for a small bug.

Hope that's okay - but if you need any help with modifying your profile or similar, please do let me know. Let me know by PM if you'd like your username to start with an uppercase J instead of lower case.
