Amongst others, I posted on some of the recent WDYTYA threads.

It seems that some of the people asking for info at the event are having trouble getting back to and/or posting on those threads (perhaps inadequate guidance given?).

I do know that it wasn't easy for people who help on the boards to even find that particular board in the first place!

Anyhow, I received a pm from a lady who is still looking for help so thought I'd post a link to her thread in case anyone wants to look into it:

I thought they were been given guidance notes from the Team to get back to their threads

Think the picture says it all.

I wonder if they all realised that they would have to pay a subscription before being able to add to their threads!!!

Well, I think the lady who sent me the pm must have done to be able to contact me?

True for that lady, obviously, but I wonder if it was generally made known.....

If previous years area are a benchmark, the 'guidance' will have been minimal.......at best
