Hello everyone,
I have had to alter the procedure for sending personal messages to other Talkback users, to plug a potential security breach.
Now, when a message is sent through the Contact link (through the page, www.writersnews.co.uk/talkback/members.asp), the resulting e-mail will appear in your Inbox as if it has come directly from me, and the details of the user who sent it will be provided within the body of the e-mail.
Under certain, limited, circumstances, it previously could occur that Talkbackers using the Contact facility would be informed of another user's e-mail address, without the second user's knowledge. This change will prevent that.
There is no change to the procedure for using the Contact facility.
Best wishes
Webbo

I have been on here at night with full knowledge that others are online, pulling hy hair (what little I have left) out with problems.
It's nice to use the fourums, but.... It's good to talk!
And I'm sure that it would prove very popular!

Not sure it is too popular an idea because several attempts at running a chat forum have been tried by several stalwarts but with minimal support.
It seems most of us have too much to do with insufficient time for fitting it all in.
