This topic is to enable me, as administrator, to suggest from time to time ways to best make use of the forum's many facilities. Other members are of course welcome to add their tips too.
(I don't for a moment claim omniscience in this - I'm still learning the ropes too!)
Today's tip: make use of the direct messaging facility when you wish to respond to someone's query with a message which is personal rather than for everyone's consumption. To do this, use the Members tab at the top of the screen to find the person, and then select "Start a conversation".
Like an email "cc" facility, you can also specify individual members to be copied into the conversation if required.
Importantly, these "conversation" direct messages are private. Neither the forum administrator, nor any of the forum's moderators, can see them.
Ever wondered why you no longer receive the weekly summary email from the Safeguard Forum?
It's probably because the email address you used when you joined the Forum is no longer valid, usually because you have changed organisation.
Solution:
Click on your name at top left
Select "Edit Profile"
Select "Change Email"
It could also be because, when you created your Forum a/c, you unticked the box "Subscribe to mailing list".
To fix this, go into "Set Preferences" and remove the tick from "Remove me from mailing list".
I have changed the Forum's settings so that members may now edit their own posts up to one day afterwards. (Previously, members could edit their posts only up to ten minutes after posting.)
To edit your own post, revisit the post and hover over the three dots, which should give you a pencil logo - that's the edit option.
