I've gone "back to basics" by opting for a daily email digest. in which there is a "reply via the web" option.

FWIW I found the new-look website interface confusing and counter-intuitive... I had a couple of goes when I had a couple of wee lurks before resubbing - and then realised I could just bypass the whole thing and just go back to daily digest mode. which is actually quite liberating!

(btw - I don't do twitter (so far - and haven't had time/inclination/headspace to get stuck in) and check in to fb but don't get bogged down too much on there with groups and the like. so maybe I'm missing out on a lot of former uk-d traffic that may or may not be going on elsewhere?)

Anyway, it'd be a shame if uk-d called it a day, but I'm glad I've returned after a lengthy absence. This was one of the first interweb places I hung out on, and really has been the initial catalyst for so much... I really do hope that can continue, in whatever form seems best :)
