Thanks .. I can now see posts and display their contents .. I can now also access my profile however it looks like some of the settings do not work correctly. i have set up that the threads should be displayed in last post time order ( like the old site ) but this appears to be ignored and the threads are always displayed in alpha title order. Even if you update the thread controls in the drop down boxes on the page it will not display the correct way ... and also resets the choices back to the default of alpha order.

P.S. just seen this reply posted and signatgure pic does not appear to be shown ...
