Sounds like a good collective noun. But there's definitely something going on. When I hover over the "Community Home - La Piazza" it turns into "Country Homes - restored". I think elicat has got at it already!!!
Trying to upload something, so have chosen my description of my train trip to Ancona, previously published in the old forum. Don't know if it will work, as I've had to use the "video" button as that seems to be the only upload at the momentA
I've clicked on ~"create a post", then given it a title. I've highlighted the topics "Introductions" and "Weddings", just to see where it ends up. I've put in my location, and tagged it "testing" and "posting".
Heeello - anybody there? I seem to be able to post even though my request to join is pending. A glitch, a back door, or my c*ck up?? Anyway, hope I'm in and I'll check back tomorrowAnne
Not sure if this is the right place for this but anyway..... I've managed to subscribe to posts and am now getting masses of emails. I can't find how to unsubscribe again. Can someone talk me through it?
Thanks Ronald - done that, though for others who are as neurotic as me about clicking the right bit - I'll just say that1. Notifications is a Tab2. It says Administer Subscriptions, rather than Manage (sounds vaguely priest-like)3. You have the choice of "edit" or "drop" when you get to your current subscriptions4. If you click on "drop" it then says something very scary - "THIS ACTION CANNOT BE UNDONE" - above an unsubscribe button.5. Clicking on the unsubscribe button doesn't bring a thunderclap but does seem to remove that particular subscription! :D
I never really got to grips with star ratings and the like before. I read posts that were: - on a topic that interested me or- by someone whose postings I'd enjoyed in the past or- came up when I searched for a particular subject or- that I'd contributed to and wanted to see what responses there'd beenThere were discussions about building a bank of knowledge on certain perennial subjects - is that a possibility here - so newbies in particular can be directed to it?As to ranking ourselves depenent on number posts, length of service etc, I never really liked that. Maybe we could pick from a range of "characters" one which best describes our involvement??
Just saying hello and look forward to using this forum as a continuation of the old, in that it has provided me with new friends, lots of useful information, and, to be honest, some displacement activity in a busy day!I like the sound of a more interactive community - as someone who doesn't spend all her time in Italy it would be good to remain involved from a distance if I can.Many of us have arrived in out of the way corners of Italy which could do with the injection of new ideas and projects. Whilst some are bound to fail, or offend local sensibilities, I would like to think that this forum could assist those involved in sensitive integration into our local communities. I don't mean that we should be telling the Italians how to do things, and in fact I'm sure we'd get short shrift if we tried!

"(a list of topics can be seen on the left-hand side)" - It's on the right of my screen
Yup - no problem
