New information to all and New members

[Magnetron]

Hi New Members,

I see a lot of new members that don't read or understand Forums Rules and one needs to remember this is not Social Media, so there are formalities to follow, so please have a read of the Forum Rules.
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

The most important and the first post you are required to do is a presentation post.
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

In the bottom left-hand corner is a "Button" to make the post. Don't post in another person's post, start your own. Also, have a look at other posts to see what they say.
Once you do this post, you will make Neil and myself happy. It also helps us to check that your post is OK from spam.
After you have done the presentation, come back here.

The next thing you can do is have a read of this:
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]

Then have a read of this:
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
After the PURPLE text you will find 6 links, go and make a post according to the thread, and after this you should have 7 posts.

I have also noticed that a lot of members are doing multiple registrations to get a conformation email. Don't worry about the confirmation until you check your spam folder. Gmail does send these to the spam folder "make sure it is set to default, of which it does a clearing after 30 days, I have mine as a sidebar"
Anyway, all duplicate accounts are removed when I see them, and the one that is left is my choice.
All new accounts are checked twice daily at +8UTC (8AM & 5PM my time). Any member that is awaiting email confirmation is manually moved to Verified member.
More to come as it is thought of.

This post is open for discussion if you need to ask a question about system or procedure.
Nothing to do about GPS products (they will be trashed)
