@majordennisbloodnok, the more I think about it, the more I like this section which I have now added with some initial broad sub-sections that should be enough to get us started. I will probably push some content here from My Home Farm when we start posting it because there will be an overlap.

Personally speaking, given the name of this forum, I would prefer to avoid confusion and make it easier to find information on the topic by sticking with topic as described in the name. If I want information about bikes, lorries and cooking etc I can look at relevant fora.
Just my 2pennorth.
Retrofitted 11.2kw Mitsubishi Ecodan to new radiators commissioned November 2021.
14 x 500w Monocrystalline solar panels.

Can we please do something with the CSS, please.... There's a whole lot of grey on dark grey going on and it's really hard to see.
Links could do with being in blue too...
Off grid on the isle of purbeck
2.4kW solar, 15kWh Seplos Mason, Outback power systems 3kW inverter/charger, solid fuel heating with air/air for shoulder months, 10 acres of heathland/woods.

@hughf, I’ll have a look into. Not my strongest point, but I’ll see what I can do.

@editor it’s probably set in a theme. There should be a theme editor/builder somewhere.
If you let me know what forum software you’re using (it’s a new one on me, I’m used to xenforo these days) I can do a bit of googling for you.

@editor whatever you’ve changed looks good, I’ve got new posts and notifications showing in red now.

@hughf, the CSS settings are a tad annoying, because it changes colours that are “connected” to different elements - changing the colour for the magnifying glass above, for example, changes a lot of things to that colour which isn’t a great look.
New posts and notifications are now in red, which I thought was a good colour. Thoughts?

@editor CSS is a pain to work with, I’m building web based control panels for a product we manufacture and it’s a pain compared to traditional GUI development in win32 or OS X. We’re always advised to not give every single item a separate ID and instead use classes. That’s why stuff ends up being affected by seemingly different changes.
The red is a nice touch and makes things a lot easier to see.

The post has an image in it (png format) - perhaps that's the problem? There is also a link - perhaps that is the problem?
Midea 14kW (for now...) ASHP heating both building and DHW
@cathoderay, odd – that's blocked by our site's firewall. Are you uploading a png file? Is that the error?

Posted by: @editorAre you uploading a png file? Is that the error?
The post has both an image and a link in it. I tried the image (it's just a chart) as both a png and a jpg and a pdf, and de-url'd the link (. -> dot etc). The link was the address for the Met Office's WOW website, hardly a risky link, but all of them got rejected
The error (shown above) appeared when I pressed the Add Reply button.
