It's a Bot that I created, Bri....

"A bot (short for "robot") is a program that operates as an agent for a user or another program or simulates a human activity."

So in plain english, DaveR is Nigel?

Bri.... I am the first to admit that I am a novice at the computing game.. but..

A bot (or robot), is an automatic programme which runs around the internet, picking things up, and dropping them elsewhere.
I get 'bots' invading my own website for my shop every day... and they look like real people or customers, but they are not.

So, Nigel the News Bot is picking up snippets of news, and throwing them on to the Forum, ... Dave and Ian will be unaware of the content until they actually sign in and take a look...    Nigel is not Dave!

I've split all the rally related posts into a separate thread, called 'Cambrian Rally/Rally GB'.  :)

When you get notification of a Private Message (PM) via email, please remember that you cannot just hit Reply and respond by Email. You must log into the Forum, and read/reply to the message there. If you try to reply by email, it will not reach the recipient, it just bounces straight back to me (and this happens several times a week).

I have now altered the notifications, so that you have to log in to the Forum to read the PM, rather than it being displayed in the email.

I'm doing some housekeeping with the topics and threads within them which might result in some odd findings when you click on Show New Messages for the next day or so. It's simply to avoid unnecessary duplication of topics so newcomers to the forum can find relevant topics more easily. Ta.
