Hello everyone!

I just wanted to take this opportunity to let you know of a few changes that will be happening over the coming week or so.  After consultation with full members it has been agreed that in order to protect some of the more sensitive issues being discussed in some areas of the forum, that a number of changes may be required.  

Over the next week, access to some areas of the forum will be determined by the forum 'Status' (based on the number of posts an individual has made).  Forum status is based on the following...

Guests 0 posts

Newbies 0-49 posts

Jr Members 50-249 posts

Full Members 250-499 posts

Senior Members 500+ posts

While we (myself and other members) still want the forum to be informative for all (guests and members), it has been agreed that there needs to be some limitations applied.  Please see below for access information...

(Please, if you have any comments or suggestions regarding any aspect of these changes, please don't hesitate to contact me - Fresholi is member-led and will always respect the views and opinions of its members and will do everything possible to accomodate).

Hi Everyone!!

Just to let you all know, those changes have now been put in place.  If anyone has any questions, suggestions or comments regarding these changes, just post them here 

personally I think newbies should be able to access cry for help,  after all that is what we are here for to give and receive help when needed and for newbies thats why they come to a forum.

where as formulators general I would put up to junior members, so that no newbie comes in and pinches our recipes that we have worked hard for,.

Just my thoughts.

Good point Mai (although the recipes board itself is available for junior members).  But like you say, it may be more helpful (to all) for the troubled bubbles board to be available for newbies.

Ok, I'll change this but if anyone has anything to add, please don't hesitate to yell 

All done!!
