Sorry so having the date in the post doesn't make it clear when a session is being hosted! :doh :doh :doh Early notice is also good, hosting a payware chain gets a better response with some notice. Whereas last night I put a West Country chain up and had a full house within 30 minutes.

mfcooper 707 posts	" said: For the record: Advance notice of hosting is welcomed, encouraged even, and will not be deleted until some time after the hosting date specified From a personal point of view, I prefer advance notice being posted in the "Hosting General Topics" area of the forum, and when the session is about to be hosted a post can be made in the "Session Details" area of the forum.

The only potential for confusion I see is the "deleted within 7 days" which I've clarified to mean the date of the host, not the post. " said: From a personal point of view, I prefer advance notice being posted in the "Hosting General Topics" area of the forum, and when the session is about to be hosted a post can be made in the "Session Details" area of the forum. That doesn't make sense because sessions posted a (insert made-up timeframe here) time before the host would appear in one forum section, while other sessions posted (a shorter-than-the-above-made-up-timeframe) time before the session would appear in a different section. And no, I'm not going to move stuff over when it's within (a made-up timeframe) of the session start time! And don't forget timezones if considering a (made-up timeframe).

Peter Bennet 5357 posts	Since it seems possible to change ticks to crosses when a session is on/over, maybe we could use one of the other symbols to indicate advance notice and change it to tick when the session starts. Suggest the light bulb - for no particular reason. Peter I identify as half man half biscuit - crumbs! Log in to reply

Peter What about adding a note saying something like "It is suggested that you use the hosting template in the body of your message"? Kev Log in to reply The following user said thank you: BarryM
