Hiyers Topes,
You need VIP membership. I'm sure you already know how but, just in case you don't, there is a section on the front forum page to apply for VIP membership for a donation towards running costs of £6, which is a one-off payment. You have the choice of making any other payments as purely voluntary.
This will then able you to set yourself up with little picture (avatar) etc. and will also give you access to another section of the forum called The Drop. Here we discuss all sorts of topics, not just shopping, some serious threads and some completely mad.
Good value if you can.
Love
Argey
