  • How the forums work and registration process explained - it is simples !

    I have recently been asked why register here at all as there seems no change to what is seen.

    THIS IS TRUE and is by design as this is a "Community Site" and by that I mean users post content so other may read and see their work.

    It also gives free access to information supplied by the kindness of others in pretty much the same way a website does for example https://www.imps4ever.info/ or Andys site http://www.imps.me.uk/

    So what you can do with registering

    Read all of the content.
    It is all free, no one is paid for any work here and information is supplied for the collective good of the community
    Donations are accepted though

    What do you get once registered

    You can post messages, replies, create your own content, articles, news and so on.

    You can control your own content, your content is yours, feel free to edit, update or delete as you see fit.

    Use all of the board features, instant messaging to other users, private messages and so on.

    Download and use the forums mobila App for Android for notifications on the move (its not great but does the deed)

    How do you register, the process

    Fill in a short form, simple questions, you are nearly done.

    You will be required to consent to data storage as we must all now live with GDPR requirements, you can control this at any time yourself from your User Control panel..

    You will receive an email with activation codes, please confirm your identity by reply to the email link.

    Accounts not confirmed via email link will be auto deleted after 30 days

    Ability to create Topics / Articles and then directly share them to your Facebook Timeline or to your favourite Facebook Group so actually you can post once, then simply send it over to Facebook, no creating the Topic twice.

    Same for Twitter

    Other than that off you go.


    General low volume traffic use comment

    Just a general comment, not a rule.

    Other than views which include public visits to that web page, if you read something and like it, press the like button, it lets the user who has contributed the content or article that you appreciate their efforts.

    The like button is not really a big thing, but we do all say please and thank you in real life so it translates very well i think to forums. Its the one think

    Correction John , we don't ALL say please and thank you , both our sons were bought up to say please and thank you , now we rarely hear it ,particularly from one whose five year old is saying it without prompting all the time .
    Thankyou John for enlightening those that needed to know .
    Must get on with Pet so l can get back on here more regularly.

      Different generation, not sure I quite get it myself.

      Me and Pat were at local recycling tip other day with a trailer load of leaves, branches and these damn creeping vine things that grow like rabbits breed ! and made a bit of a mess with leaves and junk, so we swept it all up and cleaned up after myself, fellas were well chuffed, not sure anyone even says thanks to the guys.

      yes the good weather will be getting less and less, I have a small job to do for the chammy but it will be too cold I fear, will post that later
