How to Access the Private Groups and Private Forums
« on: June 06, 2012, 12:27:29 PM »
Private groups/forums serve a purpose - in the cases of things like Adult Jokes or Kid's Forum it is an obvious reason - and members can only access them if they request to, and meet the criteria (like for Adult jokes you must be over 18 and a little bit sad  ;) ).  The other main area that private forums are useful is the complex specific ones - where owners can discuss issues in private - the things they don't want renters to read perhaps.

On our new forum private forums are hidden by default - it isn't a secret society mentality, you can see the names of them all in your profile - and request to join. This is an easy 3 step process, you only need to do once.

Step 1: Select Profile (menu bar above) then from the drop down menu click "Summary"



Step 2: Click "Modify Profile" then down to "Group membership"



Step 3: Request access to the groups that interest you.



That's it!

Please - one thing - do not request to join any of the complex owner's forums if you aren't an owner - refusal often offends. The Kid's sections are for kids only. No under 18s in the Adult Jokes etc, you know the sort of thing  :)

We have also added a new facility - for members to be authorised to post events in the CBF calendar (link above). You can request this in the same way as you would request to join a private forum. I hope this will be very useful for members working for charity groups, and even for bar/restaurant owners who have special events (note "special"  ;) )

Please make your requests and we'll see how things pan out - it goes without saying that access to our calendar shows a great trust in our members  :)

All requests for private group access sorted as far as I can see. If you need/want access to any - including the group that allows you to place events onto the CBF calendar - just follow the steps given above.
