I am sure you'll be fine Dodge - we'll leave the old forum open while we transition to the new forum, that way you can still get help via here as normal

We should be able to carry posts counts over, even if via a 'posts counts from old forum' field

I don't care who knows what I have posted on here; I have nothing to hide. I think the only other information held here is my email address.....

.....hang on! Could this be why I've been getting junk mail from 'Latin American Cupid' and 'Indian Cupid' web sites?

No, I'm only joking, but they do keep sending me junk. Fortunately, it goes straight to my Spam folder.
Spam, spam, spam, spam....

Aww thanks Art! It's nice to have been missed

I think (I hope!) you will like the refurb, and I think it will set us even further apart from the other over 50's sites out there

I'm sure @Meg and @Mags will enjoy the new platform too. It will make moderation a lot easier as it will have options where people can ignore topics too - so for example all those who dislike pro-brexit or against-brexit threads will be able to mute them We'll even be able to do things like @mention people, and they will get a notification to let them know someone mentioned them

Of course - just like it's always been

Yep, it's secure JBR - in fact I'm really proud about the fact that we have never sold or shared any data with any third parties (I recently thought about this after requesting my data from a dating app - I was horrified at how much they have shared with others!! )

While on the topic of dating, the great thing is because the new platform is built with a language I use, it'll mean we can create add-ons... like a dating component! But that's way into the future and will depend on how much people want it.

All this talk is getting excited about the update now!!

Oh, I must immediately add that I haven't been going to any dating apps. Marge would have a fit if she thought that I had! I'm too old for dating now, anyway.

Still, some members might like such a new addition, and good luck to them.

Sounds brilliant Azz, I like the notification if someone mentions you in a post, and less work for Meg and Mags, they deserve some help, they really do a sterling job, I bet we don't realise just how much work they do in the background.....

Re: Over 50s Forum Plans for 2021! (Please read - contains important information)

See Azz this is just the sort of thing I'm dreading.

I haven't got a clue about Apps/Components/Platforms etc.

I don't know how old you are, but we're all mostly 50ish - to perhaps late 80's even.
How many want dating apps i wonder? Would it be worth putting it to a vote? If the majority want it, then fair enough.
Sorry to be an old grump, but I'm a bit inclined to believe the old saying . . . " If it ain't broke don't fix it."

BTW, I am another one who has always been very grateful to Meg and Mags for their hard work and fairness all these years.
