Hi everyone, just thought as Rachael had been asking questions lately you might all want to meet her by way of her words above, a big thank you also to Cassandro for linking to this post as I had not seen it.
Hello Rachael I hope you get an implant and it opens up a new world for you.
Glad Tidings, of course, to Mr. LoneWarrior. Sometimes I am a little early... and it seems I see things like this... This OP is and some of the Threads are currently quite BUSY...!
The current Poster is very very different to the person who originally started under the same name. Originally very stilted, restricted, and posting very swiftly without recollection of a Post written not five minutes before...?
...New confidence, maybe? But this is all a LOT more interesting NOW...
...But as I wrote this they are asking for "Private Messaging" again.
Hmmm...
That's good
So are you OK with the NAS forums for the moment? I'm wondering whether with your sensory problems whether you can access it through a phone.
No, I am good person only and I am good to everyone here .
If you want to contact the moderators, you can try emailing communitymanager@nas.org.uk. They may just say it's up to you, but to be cautious - see rules 2 & 10.
It's not phishing. Phishing is imitating a trusted organisation in order to trick people into providing passwords.
California - if someone wants to contact you by other means, you may want to check what information you give out that way. For instance on Facebook, depending on your privacy settings, friending someone may show people your timeline, friend list, email address or other contact details. Personally, I don't see much security risk merely in connecting via social media with one stranger (the biggest risk I can think of is from the friend list although any communication channel can be used as a scam). This would be a rather inefficient way to scam someone.
Rachael - can I ask what your favourite way to chat with people is, and why? Do you not like the NAS forums because they are provided by the NAS?
