It's not in the right colours there's blue for information but I can't begin to tell you how hard it was to get it to copy and worse to paste know the thread. The thread is bound to be in the wrong section sorry in advance.

I've gone back to my phone now just to check. I can't see any evidence on here with regard to the 3 posts warning for new members to CT.

Yes, it's good not to have those adds.  Another thing we don't get now..... BPS - blank page syndrome.  laughing   Those were the days..... laughinglaughing.

Careful with such sweeping statements there David. 

I have never seen them before on phone laptop or my now rendered read only Kindle 😔.

Hi guys,

DSB is correct, new non-member posters will have their first 3 posts moderated before they can post freely on CT. This is to minimise the risk of spam. you can read more about it in the Community Guidelines.

Unfortunately, a 'blip' in the site means that this warning to new posters is showing to everyone... we're working on that!

Hopefully they will be a positive and stop spam. However does this 'blip' mean another fix with a  knock on effect? It seems we stagger along and allegedly the issue is resolved but causes other issues. An example is the multiple posts - allegedly stopped by a fix but multiple posts still appear occasionally and one press doesn't always work. CL search  .............  Ho hum😆

I was about to add that it was non-members but I then saw Rochelle's post. With members the Club have all their details anyway. It was one of the things that moderators, and no doubt others, requested be put in place to prevent the mass spamming.
