Simon, I had the google plus button since you asked us but now they track everything and also look at your personal info. That is very scary.
I know I will always have a seat:)

Sorry but this forum is as social as I get..

But I did see one of those old fashioned print icons and I do own a stable gun..

Well time to take the dog for a walk - we can mark our territory together..
Out of the gloom a voice said unto me, "Smile and be happy, things could be worse." So I smiled and was happy and behold things did get worse.

Presumably you can send a moderator messages to all members, Simon. How about one from you requesting some participation from the other silent 17,000?

I can send PM's en mass, but I don't want Yahoo to flag all the notifications as spam and get put on a blacklist.

The previous owner of the server ip number was flagged as a spammer, and I've just about cleared most of the blacklists up!

Simon.

If people are worried about cookies etc, then by all means, just ignore this request.

Personally, I'm not bothered about who see's the sites I've been looking at, they'd probably soon get bored!

And as for personal info, they only know as much as you are prepared to post. Besides, I have my foil hat on to block them!

How about we all print off a few flyers and leave them at doctors, hospitals, starbucks etc

Simon can you design something that we can download and print? If you could do it comp slip size then it won't cost loads to print off a stack.

I too do not use Facebook or twitter but when I was an inpatient at my SIU in December I did tell a few people about Apparelyzed and I would be happy to follow Julibugs suggestion and take some flyers to leave at the unit.

Yes, I spend a lot of time optimising the site for Google!

It's a pain, but worth it when you see your site at the top of the rankings!

Here's a compliment slip sized flyer, for those who don't mind posting them on Spinal Injury Centre noticeboards for me!

Many thanks

Very nice work. BTW google just doesn't see sites you went to which is no bother to me either. Because of cell phones and googles new privacy policy they can see all your contacts, texts, emails ect which is why I was bothered. So can many of the android apps which is strange since they don't need to. I guess our privacy on cells and google is long gone. I do promote the site to people all the time.
I know I will always have a seat:)
