Thanks. I've started my own thread.

Maybe if you have a local question you just put Ayemonte in the title. The Search and Advance Search work well and if you've posted in a thread, you'll likely be subscribed to it and so it'll show up in your Subscribed list.

I was thinking it might be a good idea to put "Ayamonte" as the first word in any new posting

Not a bad idea generally. In many instances it ​​​​​​ca n be very helpful knowing the area someone is posting from.

When the Gibraltar sub-forum was removed I started a thread titled GIBRALTAR now progressed to GIBRALTAR 2 and posted all that was Gibraltar specific in that thread,

I’m new and have just subscribed to the Ayamonte forum. Very disappointed as was looking forward to useful info. I’m not that savvy and can’t see myself using this site any more. Too complicated for me unfortunately as only interested in things to do with and going on in Ayamonte and close surrounds.

Hola,

That could be a good idea for information, but with the number of people that live in the area, if you think about replies and "chit chat" then it would soon become unwieldy. If it were renewed monthly as in "Ayamonte 2021 August" and then "Ayamonte 2021 September" etc, then it could work but I think that the mods should be asked about the feasibility

Ive also got a load of messages in my inbox all saying the same thing, (I suppose, I'm not going to read them all...)... No-one wants that....

So right now, like the other posts, Im not sûre why this was done - though this may be a reasonable guess....

very disappointed this has happened

Not a good idea at all. The Spain forum would become chaotic if every area followed suit. Members from other areas often ask for help with things such as "where can I buy............" and then say for example "in Javea". People in the know then provide them with the information. It is very easy to take part in the forum in this manner.

I'm interested to know how some of you think the rest of the BE forum works? Ayemonte is was the only sub forum dedicated to one very small area of a country. Every other forum is country specific and no one has a problem navigating the site for what they want. I'm honestly confused.

Where do I find my "subscribed" list please? I can't find it. Dhu!
Hopefully, all will become a bit clearer shortly. Thanks

I use both (iOS). Sorry but I suspect I’m not subscribed to any that I didn’t start. I didn’t need to subscribe to them the way it was functioning as an AYAMONTE sub forum so it never came up as an issue before. Sorry again.

I suspect it’s connected with familiarity. If it worked in a particular way when we joined - and clearly it did - we have not used many if the features that other users are familiar with. Now the rug has been pulled out from under us and we don’t have the foundation that others got from the beginning. I’m very IT savvy but was lost in the platform to begin with and still can’t find my past familiar Threads as I wasn’t subscribed to any if them. Is this any help?

You can find all of your previous posts just by clicking on your username and selecting from the drop down menu. You can then choose to subscribe to any of the threads you've posted in that you wish.

If you did subscribe to any, then you can find them on your profile.

HTH.
