Excellent news. I hope they pay particular attention to parking within a couple of feet of the stop lines at the lights at Bridge Street and the Thurso Street / Francis Street junctions.

Aside from that, this Jobs Wanted section seems to work well. No sooner is an enquiry made, and the post is filled.

orkneycadian, you have a wicked sense of humour, you have given me a couple of laughs today (honestly) and it is refreshing from the crap I read on twitter.

New section now set up now set up

It replaces the Volunteering Opportunities that was hardly being used. Any post for that heading can now go in the general section or sent to me for the Community pages as many often are already.

Bill, thanks, I hope it becomes a success for the forum and people using it.

The post office thread comes to mind. Use it or lose it. 17 days and 1 post. Not really the huge demand that was portrayed earlier in this thread.

Niall, not many people use this forum any longer - from memory this started with the last SNP fuelled independence debates that got a bit heated on this forum and you kicked a lot of the more colourful members off the forum. You were correct on ensuring the discussion was moderate and personal attacks did not happen, you could have done this with a suspension rather than stopping the debate and removing members. So now the debate is on twitter or facebook.

If you look at all your forum sections most are no longer used. The first forum post on the Services offered section was interesting and potentially useful to me, and possible others. So your threat to remove it is disappointing.
