Can you advertise a job vacancy on the forum?

[Carrie]

My firm have done so in the past and so have other people - don't think there is a problem with it - when we did it I put it in the business section as seemed most appropriate.

[Administrator]

Hi, yes you can (as long as it's specifically relevant to East Dulwich of course).

I've emailed admin a couple of times about help retieving private messages - when I open my inbox it says messages no longer available for viewing.....

[Administrator]

It's probably because the sender has deleted them...

Dear Admin

I've noticed that in starting a new thread, when typing one letter in the 'Subject' field, I am presented with a list of what I can only presume are other thread titles which begin with that letter. Is this new and what does this achieve?

Just curious.

[Administrator]

It's not the forum, it's your browser auto-filling form fields e.g. http://support.google.com/chrome/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=142893

Strange, it never did it before.

If you're using IE, here's what one of the nerds said....

The Internet Explorer AutoComplete feature can be enabled and disabled by following the below steps.

Open Microsoft Internet Explorer.

Click Tools and then Internet Options.

In the Internet Options window click the Content tab.

Click the AutoComplete button.

Check or uncheck the options you wish have or not have AutoComplete. Below is a brief explanation of what each of the options are for.

Web page addresses - AutoComplete for the address typed in the address bar.

Forms - Enable a user to fill out fields that are commonly completed such as e-mail, address, phone number, etc.

User names and passwords on forms - Any forms that are requiring usernames. This can be helpful for users who are frequently needing to enter their username and password. However, can also be a security risk if that computer is used or accessible by other users.

Hi, I managed to start a thread in the wrong section, how can this be moved? It's currently in the Family Room Classifieds and would benefit more from being in The Family Room Discussions....It's The One O'Clock Club - Peckham Rye NEDS SAVING...thanks!

[Administrator]

We'll move it for you aceface

[Administrator]

Hi Atticus, no it won't be moving to the business section.

Just register again with a different username, and then use that one ;-)

[ladyinred]

Hi,

I have tried registering again with a different username etc, but it will NOT let me because the e-mail address is the same.

Unless I am doing it all wrong.................:-((

Hi. I posted today in the main section that I lost ?30 in cash near Goose Green, but bafflingly it was moved by you twice to the For Sale section. I have nothing for sale at present, I simply lost ?30 in nice, crisp notes just out of the cashpoint. I really can't understand why you moved it. Surely if I put it in the main section it gets seen by East Dulwich forumites at large and has more chance of success. I am not selling ?30. It could, I suppose, go in the Wanted section, but it seems a bit demanding, as in 'Wanted! My ?30 cash back!, or else!' Please, please let it sit out its time in the main section to give it a chance, otherwise I will have no option but to go round my neighbours' bins at night to feed myself. Many thanks, yours etc.

[Administrator]

Hi

Sorry but your lost ?30 is not an East Dulwich issue, and as we don't have a lost and found section (I never did get round to setting that up) so your post had to go somewhere else.

Good luck in finding your ?30.

Why not have some public recognition to the donating members next to their username to encourage more folk to donate to the forum ?

[Administrator]

Nice idea, although I'm not sure of the benefits but anyway it is not possible with this software, I think.

[lozzyloz]

Can you add a 'Like' button to posts please.

[Administrator]

Assuming a Like button is a facebook button, I can't add one but I think individuals can embed a facebook like button against their posts.

[El Pibe]

I have to say I rather like the forum for it's lack of social networking links and mechanisms for interjecting opinion or preference.

T'Interweb is rather too awash with this sort of thing and the relative simplicity of the EDF is one of its strengths that seems to be standing the test of time as it fails to cast an envious eye at the showy widgets that aflict other sites.

It forces people to opine/interact through language alone rather than recourse to the lazy ubuiquity of the +1, ▲, like, share or whatever else.

There is always the (tu) or POTW I guess.
