Welcome TMFers

Postby stooz » November 4th, 2016, 12:26 am

As the doors get slammed shut on TMF, please feel free to use this site for your needs.

There are some great helpers on TMF, and the logic is there should be a bit of a committee here to steer its direction, but for now at least come in out of the cold and take a biccy.

Please feel free to suggest new forums or sub forums, but I think we need to be careful not to flood it with rooms and take the opportunity to embrace any changes TMF needed. But im am all ears to get things running so that you can at least keep talking to the right people for the right subjects.

Hello, people.

Alas with the new limitation of a minimum 7 character username, I can't reuse jofc, so I'll have to get used to this new name

Not a problem! - I have shortened the minimum to 4, and enabled the ability to rename yourself!

Redsturgeon checking in!

That was fast work Stooz and Clariman! Thank you!

If you need any help then please ask.

Do I also detect an ability to add images? That could be fun. How does one do that?

Thanks for setting this up so quickly and giving us a place to go and hopefully keep in touch even if something else happens.

If it turns out to be popular then we can look at the financial and maintenance implications in more detail later, but given the ridiculously short notice that TMF gave us this is invaluable.

One thing I should mention. The authorisation link email that I received was flagged in Mailwasher as spam by the Spamhaus lists. You might want to look into that as some people may have systems that filter it automatically.

cheers

Hey, has someone already eaten all the biscuits? There's only a few crumbs left.

Many thanks for this. It is a bit of a knee-jerk reaction, but someone had to do something quickly to get the ball rolling due to the crazy short notice we were given.

It does look like fairly generic forum software, but there are certainly some advantages over the TMF board format. We just have to get used to change.

It certainly has my support, unless something which is very obviously better comes along. Unlikely I suspect, given the timescales.

A quick post to say hi and thanks for setting this up.

Can we have a Football Fools board please?

Another migrant from TMF here.

Thank you to Stooz and Clariman for their willingness and quick action to allow the wonderful TMF boards community to continue. I look forward to many happy times reading, and sometimes contributing to the boards.

Thanks for the comments. When Stooz and I worked together in the past, he always got things done really quickly. :)

As you'll imagine, we wanted to get something going promptly so Stooz put together this starter for ten. We can refine things between now and TMF closing and beyond - or you can just use it as a forum to discuss doing something elsewhere. That's fine by us.

Welcome and thanks for the suggestions. I would say that Stooz and I will discuss over the weekend, but knowing Stooz of old he'll probably just fire ahead and implement the requested changes ;)

Stooz - I'm not hanging around if you don't add a recs/thanks button. I know you can!! :)

Thanks very much for the quick work! I realise I'm at risk of asking for the moon and stars, but two of the real strengths of TMF are (were?) the breadth of discussion boards, financial and non financial, and secondly the accumulated posts over the years. Plus of course the extremely helpful posters with detailed knowledge.

Is there ANY chance of replicating those on Lemon Fools?

Best wishes
Rob (ex rjrc)

Great work both of you, and a pleasure to hear from stooz again, who helped hugely in paying off my mortgage. Thanks stooz.

Board suggestions
Computer help - Suggest putting "computer" first rather than last in board name. Makes it easier to find.
General Discussion on anything - Or is that what the Biscuit bar is for?
Taxes.
Small Caps.

Your Ts&Cs don't say "no commercial usage or advertising" - see, I read them :D . You need to add that so you can reject spammers.

Best of Luck

Made it! Thanks for setting this up. I recognise a few names here but there are more that I don't. I obviously didn't get about enough on the old Fool boards.
