I think that's perfect, any other comments?

Great stuff!!
To be complete you need to show how to get to that page from the front page.
You might also suggest add the page to your "Bookmarks" or even adding the link "View posts since last visit" to your Bookmarks (as I do).

Great stuff!!

Thanks Dave.

you need to show how to get to that page from the front page.

I am taking it they are going to get there by either clicking 'Bulitan Boards' on the Navigation bar or
the new 'Beginners Fourm' link in the new Beginners section on the Main Page.

I guess it's up to the individual to bookmark a direct link to the Message Boards if they want but
I think it's important to stress, although the Boards are the active
part of the site it's still, I think, important to come through the 'front door'
or you might miss an update or change to the site.

I know it's been suggested before but it would be
dead handy to have 'Posts since last visit' or more 'new posts'
at the SITE ACTIVITY section at the bottom of the main page.

While I'm at it,
I suggested a beginners guide to observing
or a monthly sky chart

Thing is we need people to volunteer to actually generate this content.

Seeing as I'm layed up with the flu for the next few days I'll give it a go
if ye like?
