I've looked on the web for info as to whether we are to update it, but can't find anything conclusive, any thoughts, anyone had this problem?

But...if i am gone for a while, I get used to being over here and away from everyone, when i go back i realise how much i miss it and i want to stay there and it takes me about 2 months to get un-depressed again :-(
