Kitchen Garden Forum

I sat here this morning and wrote a long diatribe rant about something relating to my membership of this site,

Then having got 3/4 of the way through I asked myself 'what's the point' and deleted it.

Too late now.

and for those who know, its got nothing to do with medical conditions

Just something to do with something on the forum yesterday.

Hope you're ok pa, you sound really peed off

That said, i've just noticed that we all missed your birthday yesterday id be upset too
Sorry about that. Hope you had an amazing day

Awe Pa! Missed your birthday. I used to see the birthdays when I opened the old forum, don't notice them on this one.

Hope you had a fab day Pa! HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY WISHES!

Westi

Request to techie team.

Could we have something which flashes up members birthdays when you log on, on the date on which they occur? with a nice big balloon or something?
I can't see birthdays noted either.

They only appear at the bottom of the page "Board Index".

The bottom of the 'Board Index' page is probably not a place people venture to very often if at al. the purpose of being part of the forum is to answer, contribute to, or learn something from 'New Posts' and that is probably where most people head straight to.

Note to Admin: Perhaps at the top of the Board Index would make them harder to miss

I think many people will access the forum via an emailed invitation to click on a link where somebody has responded to an existing thread, so the Board Index page doesn't get viewed at all, or only if one is navigating via it to post a new thread/topic under a different section.

Never mind, thinking twice before posting a rant is very sensible. But happy birthday (for whenever it was). Surely the rant was about something else?

It is common on many forums to see posts from 'Moderator' or the like. Are there any here? The contributors make the forum and should be able to shape it methinks.

Hi moderator here.

Oakridge: if you look closely, moderators names are written in a lighter green than everyone else

Also written under each area on Board Index page and inder the title of each topic ad you read it.
