Hi Mat, and thanks for your feedback. Another thing we really need to
work on is a guide to editing the wiki, which is simpler than the ones
to be found at HelpOnEditing. Hopefully someone in the wikiteam will
have time for this soon. It might even be encorporated into
DraftWikiGuide.

As for the problems you've had on the /forum area, this was caused by
some unfortunate rearranging done recently, please feel free to tidy
things up and sort things into subpages (you can move the postfix stuff
for example)!!

Thanks again,

Matt
