Just a minor point about Communitytranslation forum etiquette ... Should you make reference to another member in a post, like for example JoThelan JoThelan or myself SussexSoleil , please try to use the Insert User Link button in the editing toolbar (above a post you are writing) to do this. Or you can type an "@" in front of the user name, if you know it. If you do that, the member being referenced in the post will be automatically alerted to the post via their notification profile and email. Why is that helpful? If the member in question is being actioned or expected to do something in the post, they are made aware of it and can possibly respond that much sooner. At least a follow up request as a result of your post won't come totally out of the blue. If anyone reading the post is unfamiliar with the member, they can just click on the link to read their profile and, if necessary, send them a message.
(And if you are gossiping about someone, it is only polite to let them join in )

One note if you are using at "@" method: My user link is admin, so typing @jothelan will not alert me. You will need to type @ admin, minus the space.

@adminjothelan does the same apply to moderators? Do we need to include @moderator in their name ?
Thanks, Gena:-)

No ifphigenia, the moderator links behave like everyone else's. I think mine is different, because as the first user of the account, the forum settings automatically created my users name as admin. But it will not tag me if you add jothelan after @ admin. Just type in @ admin minus the space, like this: JoThelan.

Thanks @adminjothelan, I take it that's what you meant? No, you didn't did you? You meant just JoThelan , yes? It's ok, I've worked it out now. I type @ admin alone but without the space and the system converts it to JoThelan without the admin bit automatically. How strange! :-)

Sorry, I didn't mean this to be hard! The easiest way to get this right is to click the [@ + head and shoulders] button, then search for Jo. Note the systems substitutes @ + admin for the name JoThelan. And thank you ifphigenia for changing your posts. I wasn't pointing at you when I wrote this. (You were just the latest member to do it )

Don't worry SussexSoleil I realised I hadn't done this when I read your post but I didn't think you were pointing at me. :-)

Call me old-fashioned but I'm not sure I want to know when people are gossiping about me! I'm assuming it won't be anything good.
