Forum Upgrade - PLEASE READ

[JohnDuncan]

Morning all

As some of you may know we're going through a site redevelopment at the moment. One of the consequences of this is that you will all need a unique username - at the moment many of you only have your first name displayed when you post.

In order to ensure that you have a username that you actually want (as opposed to John931, which is what will happen if we have to migrate you over to the new forum without your having changed it), could you take some time to go into 'Profile' and select a nickname please?

You'll note that you won't be able to choose one that already exists, so you may have to be inventive

If you could do so in the next week or so, it would help me enormously.

regards

Will the forum update allow users to change their e-mail address as currently this doesn't seem to be possible.

 

[Surfer]

Will we have the facility to pm other members? Also will we receive email notifications on threads where we have subscribed?

 

[Rioja]

Surfer you can send them an e mail now if they have agreed to receive them. PM's can be blocked too.

What if you 'nick name' is unique, do you need to change it?

[JohnDuncan]

Lots of questions - I might have to set up an FAQ in the 'Site' forum and answer them all there!

 

[eboy1200]

done, look forward to the new site.

cheers eboy1200.

All these new names.....we've got a guessing game going on now, to see if we can work out who they used to be! Should keep us all amused for.....ooooh.....minutes! ;o)

I changed my nick name but have gone back to the original name till it is sorted out and we know more.

 

[DianneT]

Well I did change it but does not come up as it was. Why?
