Sadly, nothing I do seems to allow me to log onto the old forum. I think it's time to fully abandon the old and go with the new. While I vaguely remember the discussion, I recall none of the content or conclusions. Perhaps it's high time to restart such discussions here on the new forum. Any chance you would open a new post (in the regular wheels forum) and start a new discussion?

I'm not in favor of any referrals to the old forum because of access problems and the possibility that someone might attempt to continue a discussion there instead of here. At some point, the forum may not be accessible by anyone.

I think it might be prudent to wait until Martin has had sufficient time to upload his salvaged archive to the current board.

There is nothing preventing us from discussing it now and the threads can be combined later if it's possible to bring in old threads as an archive.

I like having these threads again. For an intermediate collector like me, it is fun to show off, to see what others have, and maybe get a comment about something I have being interesting or rare.

I have started a new thread for the 10c British Sugar Coropration promotional (here). The first post is a (long-winded) summary of what was on the old forum.
