    Hi all and being as you're here at the moment @Loofah - a question for you please.

    Is it possible to tag you guys in admin all together to make a request? For example @admin. I'm never sure and maybe other members aren't either - who to contact when something arises, like moving a thread.

      @Sheal you can do it by tagging all of us in the same post. :thumbsup:

        Apologies but I took myself off to bed!
        Unfortunately there's no blanket callsign that would alert all admins. Given how the system works I'm not sure there's a way to accomplish it either.
        There's a little box to the right of the screen that mentions admins currently online so probably best to check that and tag whoever shows up

            That's okay Andy, we all need our beauty sleep. :snooze:

            Thank you all. :) With five of you in admin I thought there may be a shorter way of making contact for a subject that could be answered by any one of you.

              Sometimes it's best to give things up as a bad job and accept it doesn't work :roflol:

                In this scenario, would it be a bad idea to report the thread? Just an idea, as then it goes into a queue for any available admin to look at.

                  That would work and some do it that way. Nothing is guaranteed to be done quickly as we're not always here and, of course, we sometimes get a number of things come up all at the same time.

                      I don't think that would be fair on the members of admin. Plus it would hold up those expecting a fairly quick response to a genuine post/thread report.

                        In honesty @Sheal we don't get vast amounts of reports so it shouldn't be too onerous.

                          Well I think this thread seems to have contacted Admin reasonably well.:)
