Forums FAQ

What are the Forums?

A place where Ilkley Harriers can communicate and share information online, promoting and improving the Club.

Is it official?

The idea was approved by the Committee in December 2008, with the Forums coming online shortly after.

Who can contribute?

Any web user can read the forums. Only registered users, i.e. Ilkley Harriers, may 'post' content.

How do I register?

Go to the Ilkley Harriers Forums and look for the Register link at the top of the page. Only current members of Ilkley Harriers may register and update the forums. We'd prefer it if people used recognisable names, so people know who is 'speaking'. (If there is any issue we shall publicly identify the person in any case.) Once you apply to register the Forum Adminstrator (Paul) will need to check who you are.

What shall I write?

Only contribute if you've got something that other Ilkley Harriers need to hear and want to hear! This is a place for sharing information and views. Remember that anyone can read the Forums.

Is it private?

No. Anyone on the World Wide Web could read what is posted in the Ilkley Harriers Forums.
We recommend that you do not post personal details, phone numbers, etc. on the Forums (but it's up to you).
There is a 'Harriers Only' forum that only logged on users can read - or you can 'PM' or email others if you are logged on.
The 10 most recent posts on the forums are precis'd on the fromt page of the web site (except posts in the 'Commercial Zone' and 'Harriers Only' forums').

Shall I put my race results there?

No. It would be best if everyone kept emailing results to news@ilkleyharriers.org.uk as then they can be edited into the main news and results page.

Are there any rules?

Normal etiquette applies: do not say something in the Forums that you wouldn't say directly to a fellow Ilkley Harrier. We want to minimise admin, policing, and hassle! Anyone who causes undue upset and work will simply be removed from the Forums (membership of the Forums is not a right of Ilkley Harriers membership).

Can I promote my favorite shop, or recommend any other purchase or service?

There is a 'Commercial Zone' forum and anything of a commercial nature should go there.

What about the Google Group?

We imagine this may be used less now. The problem with the Google Group is that 'posting' to it sends an email to the 'In box' of 180+ people. If there is something that needs to be sent to as many Harriers as possible as quickly as possible we'd still recommend the Google Group, but we will see how this goes.

Can I help?

Let's have lots of constructive, useful, or fun topics.
Please keep replies positive! This should be fun, not a strain.
If you need to make a reply to a thread that is personal maybe use a Personal Message or email instead
If there are any keen Administrators or techies out there Paul would be pleased to have some help running the Forums!
