If you have clicked + on a members reputation you can change it, but only to a -, or equally the other way around. I am in agreement with you guys on this issue, its not perfect; but is it better than nothing? - I think so. The modification to the reputation system may be a while in comming (I cannot do it myself), in the meantime in your opinion is it better on, or off? :-/

I have had the website in the magazines a few times, however ads cost money and we cannot afford to be in every week I'd like to thank The Fifer for mentioning us in his great articles in the RP cheers Members can do their bit - if you think there is something that may interest someone who hasnt found the forum yet, there is the 'Recommend' link on each topic page. Simply pop in their name and email address, and an email will be sent saying that you have recommended that they see the info on a certain link. Also on the forum index page, at the bottom there is a box to 'Invite a Friend'.

Pigeonbasics.com takes no responsibility for items being sold on these pages unless the item description states otherwise (for example; if an item is been sold by a moderator for the benefit of the website). All transactions are between members; Pigeonbasics.com will take no part in the process other than bringing buyer and seller together, and thus take no responsibility for faulty or missing purchases. You are advised to ask for details from the seller to keep in contact (other than via this message forum or an email address) if something along the way goes wrong. Some Pointers Learn all you can about the item being sold. Read the description carefully. Do you understand all the details about postage, and so on? Avoid making assumptions about details that aren't included � If in doubt of anything, ask! Ask the seller questions. If you have any questions or are unsure about any aspect of the item, contact the seller by either; sending them a personal message, or posting any queries to the topic. Don't time waste Make every bid a serious one. Make sure you want an item before agreeing to buy it. Sellers are not too happy if you try to pull out, and no doubt your reputation will suffer as a result!

Saw you post and thought I had something that may help I quite like the way they are displayed in the posting too, so theres no need to download it if you dont want to

Have just got the post counts moved over.

Pressing the wrong button doesnt help :'( I'll get the forum 'as was' asap. Webmaster :B

As I am the only person who has access to delete posts I can assure you that I won't delete this one Keywords are more or less defunct as to have any effect on search engine placing, it is more about the actual content of the page (use those keywords lots in posts). I will submit this page to the major search engines, however this in itself may not help too much, Google has a ranking system 'Page Rank' which works on how many people link to the page; if other sites/pages link to this one that should improve its positioning in the rankings Keep up the good work, Webmaster

I would also like it if every person who signs up for a club mini-site, actually comes forth with the information to add to it. In the off season will be going through the mini-sites and any that are unused, or have not been updated for a long time, their administrators will be nofied and then may be removed. I also have some ideas to improve the mini-sites; show results, leagues, and more member options are just some of the things I have written down at the moment to play around with in anticipation for next year Webmaster

Unfortunately this will happen on any forum. If any member does have any problem with a personal message that has been sent to them they have the option to 'Report' it. Other than these reported messages, I have no access to anyones personal messages, and have no need to. If someone sends you something you dont like there is a handy button 'Delete', please use at will

Have done the photos The birds; they came, thats the main thing ;D

I have posted a message on the 'Members Photos' board that if any member wishes that their photos are moved accross to the new forum to let me know, by email, pm or a posting on the forum, and I'll pop them accross for you. I wont be moving all photos accross (where the member has not instructed me to) as some may not be members anymore, or may not wish their photos to be moved accross. Webmaster

I've just finished the last update to the mini-sites. Its been a bit of a troublesome update but finally we're there. There should be no problems for Norton Internet Security users to view the pages now. Also incorrect clubs race results being shown has been fixed. If anyone has any ideas to make the mini-sites better let me know by posting up here, and I'll see if I can make the changes Webmaster

I've changed the 'read boards' to show as greyscale, and the boards with new items will be in colour. This is on the forum index, was it in each board where there was a problem too? If so I'll modify these too. Webmaster

If I have uploaded anyones photos onto the old forum, and they wish them to be transfered over to here, please let me know. Webmaster

I think I've got that problem covered now. Let me know if there is anything else, or if it hasnt worked. I tested it in IE and it seems to have worked for me. Webmaster

Thanks for letting me know Carol, I dont use Internet Explorer anymore so hadnt noticed. I'll see what I can do In the meantime using linebreaks I think works.

Thanks to all who participated. If there is sufficient interest in the future we may have some more birds up for grabs. Will send you a pm just now shadow. Webmaster

Only 9 and a half hours to go

The new forum allows members to be part of groups. Does anyone want me to add this feature to be used? I'm open for group name suggestions I was thinking Natural Fliers/Widowhood Fliers group, etc.. Webmaster

Google bot is the Google Search engine looking at our pages to include them in its index to display as results for what people search for. Its the same as Yahoo bot and some other which you may see while using the forum. Webmaster
