A gentle reminder that this is a public forum. Unlike Facebook or other social media platforms, where you may have linked to friends that you know in reality, on here we are mainly unknown to each other in real life.
On the General part of the forum, anyone, from Google and beyond, can access your posts, photos and other information you post. "Upstairs", while members only, is viewable to all Members - and anyone can sign up as a member and therefore still view your posts.
We would therefore encourage you to exercise caution when you post details that can be directly linked to you or your family, including specific locations and stores that you use, job or specific employer, names or photos of family, or perhaps even pets, that could be clearly be linked/be used to identify you.
Maybe I am overly cautious, but it sometimes seems some members appear to either forget that they chose usernames for a reason, or are not unduly concerned sharing private information, that with further reflection perhaps should remain private. Obviously as mods we do (rarely) remove or edit posts that we feel may have revealed too much, but would prefer if people self moderate to protect themselves.
There are lots of examples in the press where people have posted information on public platforms, or even private messages, many years ago and are now being dug up and shared that with hindsight (or foresight) should in most cases not have been posted in the first place.
I hope the above is taken in the spirit that it is posted - to protect your and your family's privacy.
