Hiya bigdan, hope you are OK , welcome to the forum and all that,  

I am please that you have found the Smoking Meat Forums.

There is a UDS section, which I think Smokin Monkey has given you the link.  Kiska is a UK member and he has posted how he has got on with his build in the UK Smokers section.

As smoking has gained popularity in the UK we have been given our own group, UK Smokers. We still come under the watchful eye, and have plenty of support from our american cousins, but somethings are different in the UK and that's where the UK forum comes into it's own.  

We have members from both sides of the pond so it you post a question in the UK Forum, there is a good chance it will get answered from both the UK and the US.

If you click on the following link http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/groups/show/38/uk-smokers  this will take you to the UK section of the forum where you will find a group of like minded individuals in the UK who are into smoking.  

I look forward to seeing you there, and feel free to post on the UK forum.

Ok for some reason i cant post in uk section lol.

 

[smokewood]

Strange, was that in the UK Smokers Roll Call?  If it was try starting your own thread and see if that works. If you still have a problem just drop me a message and I will look into it for you.

 

[bigdan110]

Anything in the uk section even making a thread it doesn't give me the option

 

[smokewood]

If you click on the following link 

http://www.smokingmeatforums.com/groups/show/38/uk-smokers

scroll down and on the left hand side, then click on the "start a new thread" button, what happens?

 

[bigdan110]

New thread doesn't pop up neither fdoes the text box

I usually use Chrome as a browser but I logged in using firefox and everything was working OK. I can either ask one of the moderators in the US to have a look at it for you, alternatively If you want to send me your login & password details I will try to see what you are seeing, if you know what I mean.  It is a bit unorthadox but the choice is yours. If you do dend me your details please remember to change your password after we have sorted the problem out

Sorry Dan I should have mentioned in my last post that I am one of the Group Leads for the UK Smokers.

It is way past my bed time so I will look at this again in the morning.
