i agree with alvin, important to allow new members to feel like part of this family without seperating us into a paying and non paying hierachy just at the moment.but can see pete's point , that it would be nice to contribute to help ray...perhaps we could all get our stationary done at his ole place !!lol

but i agree with ray regarding access to private forums with x no of posts...again not just yet though, lets get this party started first, then when its in full swing ray can make changes..and i really appreciate the fact that this place is a democratic forum...with members thoughts being discussed and valued...

I am with Kay on this one. There may well be topics that I wouldn't want to post in the private forums, because any tome dick and harry could sign up and then view it.

I'd feel happier having it on a 'you must have xxx posts before you can view' or a small charge. Or even do it so it works on private groups.

Absolutely I agree Jee. I think a minimum post count might be the way forward with this one for the time being

ok so "help" was the wrong word, ....i would like it noted i would like to amend the word help to "support"

I would like to see a no access to private until x number of posts - just to ensure that people who contribute are rewarded with the private section. I wouldn't want people joining up and then lurking and still accessing the private section iyswim.

Ok - Who's in favour of a (say) 50 post restriction to the Private Area (which I can override if a known colleague joins) ?

If we do it I'll probably stop posts in the introductions section from counting

Yep, all for it Ray and my £10 donation for charity is in the post to you

50 sounds reasonable
