This month we have created two new images that can be inserted into you messages:

Are there any smily's that you would like to see in The Grapevine?

If you have any ideas for simple smileys, let us know and we'll see what we can do!

  

Welcome to our newest Moderator!

Following last month's newsletter article about becoming a Grapevine Moderator, we can now welcome our newest moderator "Lulu".

Lulu is a regular Grapevine user who is very friendly, helpful and loves chatting with other people.

When Lulu decided she would like to become a Moderator, we jumped at the chance of having her on the Grapevine team! We met with Lulu face-to-face and discussed all the aspects of becoming a Grapevine Moderator. Next we upgraded Lulu's details from a regular user to a Moderator and the rest is history!

A great big thanks to Lulu and keep up the good work!

If you are interested in becoming a Moderator, visit this page for more information and to apply online: Become a Grapevine Moderator.

    

New Status Icons

We thought it would be useful to identify the Grapevine Moderators and Administrators with an image next to their name. As such, you will now see the following two icons in The Grapevine:

Grapevine Administrator     Administrators (the Grapevine Team only)

Grapevine Moderator     Moderators
