<div style="text-align: center"><br />
It&#039;s now easier to upload photos to Copenworld and share them in your forum messages.<br />
<br />
On a desktop computer, you can simply drag and drop a photo into any message you are posting.<br />
<br />
On a mobile, you can use the &quot;Upload a File&quot; button below your message. On most modern smart phones, this will allow you to either select a photo stored on your phone or take a new photo with your phone&#039;s camera.<br />
<br />
Photos will be automatically resized to fit in your message....&#8203;</div><br />

<div style="text-align: center">An avatar is a small photo or picture that appears next to every message you post on the forums. It&#039;s a great way to personalise your messages, and it&#039;s easy to add one to your user account. Just follow these easy steps.<br />
<br />
Make sure you&#039;re logged in, and then hover over or tap your username on the right-hand side of the menu bar at the top (on a mobile this may be shortened to just an icon). This will bring up your user menu:<br />

The Copenworld website is looking a bit dated now, and is running on obsolete software.<br />
<br />
The world has moved on a lot since the website was created back in 2009, and I really need to update it to give it some more modern capabilities.<br />
<br />
For that reason, I’m going to be moving the forum onto a new software platform.<br />

The new website is now live.<br />
<br />
Everything has been rebuilt from the ground up, so some things will look and behave differently to the old website. Although the styling has been updated, I&#039;ve deliberately tried to keep a similar content layout to keep things relatively familiar, at least initially.<br />
<br />
All user accounts and forum content have been transferred across, so you should be able to log in with your existing username and password. If you have...<br />

Should copenworld be on Facebook?<br />
<br />
I&#039;ve considered setting up a Facebook account before, but I&#039;m unsure whether it&#039;s worthwhile. Would it get used? Would it attract more members, especially younger people? Or would it just be too much and maybe have an adverse effect on forum usage?<br />

....well sort of!<br />
<br />
In two week&#039;s time, I&#039;ll be emigrating permanently from the UK to New Zealand.....and yes the Copen is coming with me! It will be securely packed into a container to set sail across the world for about eight weeks to it&#039;s new home in Auckland.<br />
<br />
The copenworld site will continue as normal, but don&#039;t be surprised if my articles are upside-down in future!]]></content:encoded>

How will this model compare to the current model, and will it see the Copen returning to Europe? Copenworld will track the story as it develops over the coming months.<br />
