Is there a demonstration site anywhere, where members can access the control panel but everything is "locked" - just so that we can see how it has been set up? Might be better than "trial and error" as we learn how to do our own settings.

It would be good, for example, to be able to see the Control Panel for the image gallery part of this site. I wonder if the Laird of Aberdeen would be able to facilitate it - lol.

Yes there is a demo.

Not working for me (server error) & why an old version?

Humm.
I have not needed the demo in several years.
Rick will need to answer.

Will check on the server error. As for being an old version it's just the way the demo system was created. A bit hard to update. If you'd like to test a current version just let us know and we can set one up for you.

Thanks - will let you know

Actually we've just upgraded the demo so it will do a 7.5.6 demo automatically. So no need to request it now, just sign up on the front page.
