........................... ANNOUNCEMENT FROM THE ADMINISTRATORS

We have just upgraded our RAN Skilled Hands Forum Website and URGENTLY require all existing
Members to spend five minutes to UPGRADE THEIR USER PROFILE as per the instructions below...

................................. Completing, or Updating your new User Profile Settings....

As part of Registering as a New Member, you will have completed your User Profile to get the full benefit of the many features of our New RAN Skilled Hands Forum Website...

As an Existing Member of RAN Skilled Hands you are requested to now UPDATE your User Profile to take advantage of the many NEW features on the New RAN Skilled Hands website, such as the ‘Happy Birthday’ Greeting Message, and by everybody updating their information, you will eventually be able to search the Member List for Buddies, by Enlistment Date, Surname, etc...

Through the new User Control Panel you now have a greatly enhanced access to a much wider range of options than ever before, including your Board Preferences, your Private Messaging (PM) System, and so on...

So in the brief Tutorial below, we’d like you to spend a few minutes and allow us to introduce you to the new User Control Panel and how to go about completing/updating your information to enhance your RAN Skilled Hands Forum Website experience...





Don't forget to hit Submit after filling in all the fields.

After updating your User Profile, Members can return to their Profile to update their information at any time, through the User Control Panel.

Birthdates

Just a query why do we have to put our birthdates in twice on the one page

And what an excellent question, Chuckles, and I'm delighted that you brought it up, so that I have the opportunity to explain it to eveyone...

The bottom one is your full D.O.B. for our internal (Administrators) information, and is visible (on the User’s Mini-Profile,) ONLY to the user themselves...

Nobody else can see it, nor extract it from our website database...

The top one only asks for the day and month of your Birthday, giving you the option of leaving the Year: as [ -- ], which enables the website to automatically
post a Happy Birthday greeting on your birthday in the panel at the bottom of the Forum Index page... e.g. Dirty Diesel

Or you can enter the Year in full, in which case, the Happy Birthday greeting will not only wish you a but will put your age in brackets after your
username... e.g. Dirty Diesel (52)

So whilst we'd love the opportunity to wish each of our Members a on their special day, you can leave the Birthday date out altogether...

BTW, FYI, a little told me that three of our Members are celebrating their Birthdays in the next few days, just keep an eye on the panel...

I have noticed many members logging on to the website and not updating their profiles.

Please scroll up to the top of this topic and read Rick's post regarding updating your profile.

I have Neddley.

Where's me lollipop ?

Thanks handsome, you are ....

You were one of the guys that did it straight away, so thanks to you and all the others that read Rick's post/ tutorial about updating their profiles.

I note that the latest person to successfully complete his 'Profile' is David Luck, a pioneer of the FIRST MOBI INTAKE with
an Official Number of R42026..!

aboard David, I hope you enjoy the site and contribute to the banter of the fellow, like-minded MOBIs, Muppets, Phasies
and Direct Entry Tradesmen and women who came after you...
