Be confident online
|
With new members joining every day, I thought it would be useful to share some tips for using the forums.
Remember that our forums are public and can be viewed by anybody on the Internet, not just forum users. Do not give out personal details such as your address, phone number, email address etc, in a post or on your profile.
If you are planning to meet up with other forum members - for a Supper Club, Walking Club or reader event - contact each other via private message for personal communication. Private messages can only be viewed by the recipient, and are not displayed publicly.
We want the woman&home forums to be a friendly environment, so please treat each other with respect. Remember that comments can be misconstrued when written down as the tone of voice is not conveyed. It's best to read your post back before you submit it!
We hope you enjoy being a part of this wonderfully supportive community.
Do PM me if you have any queries.

Hi Pippa
Thanks for your comments
I was telling some friends about the forum and they guessed my "name" I had given, so I have changed it today. I too am concerned about who can access this site.

I think that's a good idea because it is good to tell people about this site, think I will do the same.

I shan't bother. I've put nothing in my profile that I would worry about anyone knowing.

Pippa - Can you answer some queries that are growing day by day,and in various posts,please.
What is the age group that W & H is marketed for.
What type of people are the magazine hoping to attract?
and now the big one!!
Does W & H have an issue with the over 40's.
Remember:-We have all been babies,children,teenagers,young ladiesand/or young mums,etc,etc. so by definition of evolution we all get older and that's a fact!!

Pippa,
My question is simple.
Why do you never reply to any of the questions posted on this forum? A few weeks ago I sent your editor an email, and yourself a thread.
I agree with everything annemari has said above.
