About Smallholders Forums You will find our Forums are filled with like-minded people, smallholders, the wannabe smallholder and those interested in a greener, organic, eco-friendly, and self-sufficient lifestyle. The Smallholders Forums are very much community-driven and be assured of a warm and friendly welcome. All contributions to the Smallholders Forums are very much appreciated and welcome! Some Info and Guidlines I would just like to draw your attention to the following: Postings Please don't disclose your e-mail address in postings (1) it opens the forums up to attack from spammers. Instead, ask people to PM (private message) you - you''ll then receive e-mails in your Message Inbox in the Forums. If you want to, you can change your Profile to enable your personal e-mail address to be visible by registered members of the Forums. Please don't disclose your telephone number in postings - don't take the risk of receiving crank calls - the Forums are readable by non-members. You can always give out your telephone number privately by way of e-mail or PM if you wish. But please be careful. Notification E-mails from the Forums to your Personal E-mail Because of the global problem of spamming, it has become increasingly difficult to send out mass e-mails for legitimate reasons eg to all the members of the Forums. So, if you don't receive notifications of PMs or about topics that you are watching, or you haven't received the latest update / news, then you can pretty-much assume that your ISP has blocked the automated e-mail from the Forums. Unfortunately, there is little we can do about this. What we do suggest is that you login regularly to check for updates, new topics, new messages, etc. You may now wish to read What's Going on at the Forums? Hope you find the above information helpful. Queries? Contact Us
