and not clever enough to be on mobile internet !! MP If you use a tablet, then it's quite straightforward mart166 and I find more user friendly than a mobiles limited screen size.

Thank you for the update Steve . . . I do miss seeing your lovely banner - it's been part of my vaping life for so long now! At least we're relatively hopeful of having it back up and running again now . . . . even if it means being patient.

I just tried that and getting a site "For Sale" page so looks like it's gone for good I've looked on my favourite domain registrar, and searched for the site, and it does come up with 'Make an offer'... so I guess it is probably for sale. There are many other sites if you Google 'banner sites' but the AAEC one was special, so a shame. I've used sincemylastcigarette.com/ for the time being. Just looked at that one and it not correct, mine shows: 2 years, -1 month 12 days when I'm only 17 days away from 2 years

American style Month/day/year and not British style day/month/year

Am I getting old ??? No windows XP fine lol MP

Hurrah to steve386See you've saved me from nearly 50,000 fags, god it dont bear thinking about, the damage and costs. On the plus side "The Times" today warned that vaping while pregnant is dangerous, so off to doctor to get what I need, don't need to get pregnant at my time of life MP
