Hi Roger
Unfortunately the mailing list doesn't allow attachments :-(
Perhaps try posting to our forum instead. You can post attachments and even
emojis if you really want to.
https://discuss.joolsr.life/admin/upgrade
Lug members will get an email for any forum posts or replies so it's much
easier all told
I still need to get the domain name changed. I'll see if I can get this
done soon so we can start using it properly...
