After the old forum software breaking in a way that we were unable to fix, we've migrated the site to a new platform.
Some elements aren't working as we'd hoped - some avatars didn't survive the transition, and we're still having issues with attachments that weren't added as inline images, but we're hoping to have that all sorted out soon.

Starbucks sheds the logo
some would say it never should have had the word anyway, but they've upset some of their traditional US supporters by removing the word 'coffee' from their logo:
"Starbucks, the world's biggest coffee chain, has unveiled a new logo that omits its name and the word "coffee", infuriating loyal customers.
The new green logo is essentially Starbucks' representation of a female siren - a half-human mythical temptress who led sailors to their deaths. The change, announced overnight during a webcast of a company meeting, comes as Starbucks is building new billion-dollar brands sold outside its cafes.
"Even though we have been, and always will be, a coffee company and retailer, it's possible we'll have other products with our name on it and no coffee in it," chief executive Howard Schultz said on the webcast."
... they're clearly not too purist [they've already branched out into instant coffee, afterall] - will be interesting to see where the merchandising gurus take them from here...
A :o
Ps poll in the paper about consumers' view of Starchuks coffee: Poll: What do you think of Starbucks coffee?
Tastes yummy - best coffee around: 5%
Tastes terrible - best to avoid: 68%
I'll drink on occasion. 27%
