I think this is technical hitch

[SlightlyMadSimnelCake]

accidentally clicked on teh join button below and got this this page - which is a) old style and b) appears to be on the development server?

Thanks, SimnelMadSimnelCake - and sorry.

So, did you click on the Join link under Membership in the list of Shortcuts below?

No it was the one just below this box - where it says "To post a message you need a valid mumsnet nickname and password. If you have forgotten your nickname, click here for a reminder. If you are not yet a member of mumsnet, you can join here."

Was an accident. I was trying to click Post Message.

Aha! Thank you.

We will get that fixed.

Fixed now
