• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

Is it possible to swap to British English? I'm getting annoyed by how often I'm told "moulding" is wrong, amongst others. Including "amongst".
 
Oh, thanks Bob. That's another thing that'll never get fixed, then! :)
 
Thanks Bob, I was sat here wondering what Mike was going on about the forum has never suggested I’ve spelt something wrong :eusa-think: :eusa-think:
 
Mike, thats so easy even I can do it. :o :lol:

On the bottom task bar at the right hand side you have the symbol ; ENG
hover the mouse over it and instructions will appear. if you are using win 10 then ignore the instructions and just click the ENG.
It will show options and you just click ENGLISH (UNITED KINGDOM).
If that fails you on a certain word, you can highlight the word in question and right click scroll the options to "learn".

Does it have the option for Cypriot English, with such classics as "innit" and "Bruvz"? :lol:
 
Memzey! good to hear from you again. :D :lol:
I dont think even microsoft could cope with Cypriot English. I had to call the postman today to find out where my overdue shellac was. The reply was " I check, check you parcel call me".
So, to quote the song playing on the radio right now, should I stay or should i go? 8-) :eusa-whistle:

I don't know Bob, if you stay will there be trouble? :eusa-dance:
 
are you using Chrome?

if so that has a language function that overrides the PC I think.
top right hand corner is 3 dots, then click settings, advanced, language. it defaults to american english.

Internet explorer uses the windoze default.
