As we continue to expand at this rapid rate, it's important we keep the forum tidy - what I mean by that is keeping every post and every topic in the correct area of the forum. After taking some suggestions from our admin team, Amber and Hollie, I have re-introduced sub-categories in the media centre.

Instead of now posting ALL Girls Aloud and Cheryl Cole photos in the pictures section of the forum, there are now several sub-categories to try and keep everything tidy, and easy for you to find. So we're announcing the following new sections to the forum:

Girls Aloud Pictures
 - Candids
 - Events and Appearances
 - Photo Shoots
 - Girls Aloud Tours

All of the above is pretty self explanatory, so if when you are creating new posts, you can ensure they are in the relevant section of the forum, we'd appreciate it.

Next, Around two months ago I created a Girls Aloud Exchange section to the forum, where people could advertise goods for sale, or for exchange. Back then, I said I would be giving it a four week trial. I have actually given it eight weeks, and as I predicted, it hasn't really taken off, so this area of the forum has been closed and discontinued.

Lastly the Television category has been deleted, and it's sub-sections, The X Factor and Britain's Got Talent have been added to the Celebrity Gossip and TV section of the forum.

I think that is everything for now. Oh I just wanted to draw attention to our Competition Terms and Conditions. As you all know, we run some pretty good competitions on this website, and give some amazing prizes away, at a great deal of cost to our sponsors, and to me for shipping etc.

We have always politely asked winners of competitions to send us in a picture of their prizes once they receive them, so we can keep a thread on the forum featuring all prize winners. The problem is, the vast majority of people simply aren't bothering to send us in a picture, or even email a quick "thanks, received my prize this morning."

As I say, we've always asked nicely for you to do this, as we think its a pretty good deal. You win prizes, in return, you send us in a picture. But seeing as a lot of people are not doing this, we have now made it part of our terms and conditions that you must send us in a picture when your prize arrives.

We're not saying that people who don't send us in pictures are not eligible to enter other competitions, but we will keep in mind when choosing winners whether they have sent in pictures for previous competitions they have won! So please, all we ask is just one picture. The correct thread for all prize winners is: Post Pictures of Your Cherylanncole.co.uk Prizes Here!

Im glad your all liking the changes. As this site continues to grow and expand, there are going to be times when we need to improve certain areas, evolve, introduce new features, so knowing your all behind me is great!!


And thanks for all suggestiong about re-introducing the photo sub-categories. I don't know why i deleted them in the first place, to be honest. It just cost me more work in putting them all back on again, so I won't be removing them again ;)

Yes, totally agree with this. We are giving out some amazing prizes at a great deal of cost, both in terms of time, and money, to us, so taking 5 minutes out of your day to take photo, or even just a quick email to say 'thanks, got my prize this morning', is not too much to ask.


Which Is why i made it part of our terms and conditions, and Im going to be enforcing that rigorously. Like you said, it's only fair.
