Veteran's Corner

[Slateman]

Hi All,

This forum has been created to house knowledge from our longer-time (and therefore hopefully more experienced) members. The rules for this forum are simple:

1. APS members who have been registered for more than 2 years are able to post.
2. All other members as well as guests are able to read.
3. Any posts that Moderators view as random banter/chit chat or otherwise of little value in the context of this forum can be deleted without notice or explanation.

Of course, all the regular forum rules apply on top of this.

Enjoy!

The issue with Subscribers / Sellers / Sponsors not being able to post should now be resolved.

I have a suggestion for this forum.

I have been trying to work out how we can get a little more out of this forum.

It is not the questions that are asked that is the issue but the answers that are given.
There are no dumb questions but plenty of dumb answers.

As a suggestion would it be possible to allow anybody to start new threads (ie: ask questions) and only them and the vets be allowed to respond to that thread?

This section, although established with the best of intentions, is based on a flawed premise. Being a member for two years is is no guarantee of experience in any particular field and not being a member for two years does not preclude you from having the relevant skill to answer a question. See the blue tongue thread as an example.

Membership based on a user rating system would perhaps be relevant but of course that is open to abuse.
