Hello Pam, and a timely warning
Ken

Same here Vic, I am happy to put my real name to posts(Brian) and am happy to exchange details with any member on PM

Good move Brian, while I would say that any info would be safe with the majority that post here members who do post know nothing of those who are registered but never post, but being registered have access to other members profiles.

Jack the Ripper or Blewie The Burglar could be registered here and we would never know, not to mention Louie The Fly!

 Hey, Vic, you left me out of that last line

The forum is open to the public viewing Boroma, but not the profiles or membership list, also those not registered cannot post or make replies etc.

In other words you must be registered to view the profiles, however there is no way of knowing who the registered members are and most don't post so they could be anyone.

 Somebody asked me to clarify Louie The Fly, it was just a play on words to mean anybody up to no good.

Oh, yes, and then there is that Wombat Wally, but at least he posts!!! (unfortunately  )

 Thanks Vic, it is as I thought.

 That's why it's not a good idea to put things such as phone numbers etc in your public posts.

That is what PM's are for- private messages you control who see it

Well my address is Highway 1 - that should make it a little bit of an effort for some crook/thief/axe murderer to find me.

Good reminder Pam,

I do not have a surname listed or exact location etc on my profile, if I want someone to know my address/email address etc I send it to them by pm, much safer that way.  I also don't have my birth date for security reasons although a "near" date could be used is someone still wants to put one.

Do agree about a general area or state so if you are asking for info to buy goods or services in your state people know how to respond, no good telling anyone about a repairer etc in Perth unless someone is in this area, especially if they are living and presently in North Queensland or similar. 

If I may, I would also like to remind newbies about adjusting their user detail settings so new posts will show up on top and they don't have to scroll right down to the bottom of threads.   "Duh" here didn't know about that for ages until I saw someone mention it and adjusted my settings.

 

Duh  thanks Vic  just adjusted my settings

No worries Landy, I embarrased to say I was a member for some time before I was woken up to it.    

Now for the ladies, this is why you have to be careful with your info etc (but don't let that stop you from living a full life). 

This bloke may be one of the silent members here, you just never know!
