A reminder of the non-negotiable rules

Hi All,

Below is a reminder of the rules. The iainabernethy.com forum has always been a very positive message board and this is due in no small part to the rules and the strict enforcement of the them by members and moderators alike. Please be sure to read, understand and post in accordance with them.

Everyone has a part to play in ensure that this forum is as we all like it to be, so please don't hesitate to let me know if any posters are thought to be in breach of these rules.

All the best,

Iain

I'm back!

Hi All, Apologies for being absent in recent weeks. Life has demanded I put my attention elsewhere, but normal service has now been resumed :-) I look forward to catching up with all the posts over the next few days.

Membership Applications

Hi All,

Unfortunately, we do get some people who try to join this forum simply to post spam links. To prevent this, as well as some automated checks, I personally check each application for membership. I do err on the side of caution and this does occasionally mean some legitimate applications are blocked and deleted. If you feel this has happened to you, then please email me.

Images

As a security measure, no users (other than me) are allowed to upload images to this website. What you can do is link to where they are located elsewhere on the web. If you click on the image icon (left) you can then enter the url of the image, alter the size and spacing, etc. When you save the post, the image will be included.

All the best,

Iain

Emojis!

Hi All,

As you know, the forum does have its own inbuilt emojis, but it is not so keen in the wide array of ones you may have on your mobile device. If you do use such “external” emojis in a post, you may find that your post won’t publish. Better to stick to good old-fashioned text :-)

All the best,

Iain

CAPTCHA Changes

Hi Folks,

I know the CAPTCHA thing has been problematic for some users. I’ve therefore made some changes! When you now start a new thread, you will be asked to answer a basic maths question (all very simple!) as opposed to identifying distorted images. There is now no form of test required to reply to posts.

A reminder of how we do things here

Hi All,

Here is a link to the site rules everyone agreed to in order to become a member: http://iainabernethy.co.uk/site-rules

In light of some recent posts that were not in keeping with the tone of the board (all now deleted) I would like to post this general reminder and draw particular attention to some key aspects of how we do things here.
