    How long will these anti Covid measures be req ? There's a bit of a trend here.....

    This thread is now closed after multiple requests. It's become hard to follow the argument, TBH. If you still want to discuss this, I'd suggest starting new and specific threads on specific aspects/questions.

    A note on self-promotion

    Hello! It seems a reminder of the rules on self-promotion is necessary. You can read those rules in full here but, to summarise: If someone asks for a recommendation, they want a third-party endorsement – not you touting your own business. Let your advice and expertise speak for itself. If...

    Walking the walk with Spongebob

    I hadn't realised it was a sticky thread, TBH. Until recently, this was one of the less active sub-forums and hadn't particularly come to my attention until now.

    What does it take to get a reply from Sift?

    It's a manual, one-by-one process so... no. But if you want one, email me and I'll sort it.

    What does it take to get a reply from Sift?

    If you have any issues with invoices or anything else, all you have to do is email me via [email protected] and I can chase it up. Volunteer mods can't issue invoices, it has to be done by me or one of the support people at Sift HQ.

    Has UKBF been subject to a data breach?

    Hello -- UKBF editor here. For clarity, there hasn't been a data breach here, as others have explained above. Google's password manager will warn you when it notices that a password you use on one site (e.g. UKBF) is also being used for another that has had a data breach. In other words...

    Read the contract, if you can!

    Hello, all. I picked this up with the ad provider who said it looked as if those side ads were being served too big for some monitors. They're meant to scale based on your display so they're not too inconvenient -- I can see one now but it's way off to the side out of the way. I thought they'd...

    New adverts on this forum appearing from the right hand side and covering the text

    Cyndy -- yes, I've been seeing those for the first time today. As you say, not massively hard to deal with, but a bit more in your face than we've been used to.

    New adverts on this forum appearing from the right hand side and covering the text

    Sorry, only just picked this up. We haven't changed any settings re: ads on our side; all the ads are provided by third-parties (Google, primarily). And I haven't seen any intrusive ads myself -- they're all confined to the defined buckets at the top and left-hand columns. I've tried...
