Hello from another ex-Streetlifer

Post by LesleyL » Wed Feb 08, 2017 7:36 am

Hello - I'm another refugee from the sinking Streetlife site. I tried "Nextdoor", who have taken over Streetlife, but deactivated my account in less than 24 hours. I found Streetlife a very useful source of information on topics such as the Bloodmoor Road roadworks, plans for the new bridge and progress on developments such as the new units on the North Quay retail park, the new drive through Burger King (?) behind the old town hall, and the long awaited building on the old Zephyr Cams site. There was also a great deal of other useful information about local groups and events and a few contributors whose rants and argumentative attitudes I won't miss. It's nice to keep in touch with local news and views and I look forward to exploring and contributing to MyLowestoft.com.

Could I suggest that you set up a "posting tips" thread which people could post their own shortcuts they've discovered to help other new posters BB? I know there are instructions already stored where they should be but I'm thinking of us men who don't need instructions. ;-)
The "older" members could post the odd helpful tip like we used to in the Computers thread.

There area number of tips posted elsewhere on the site, frankie and the one which some people have problems with - the Dark Room - has a thread in there and things related to the posting of pictures. At the moment I am snowed under (metaphorically of course - but maybe not just that looking at the weather today :D ). When I have the time I'll do so but someone else is welcome to set up a topic if they wish to do so before I get round to it.
