Chatty posts reminder Can I remind you all please...
We are being swamped lately by an increasing number of chatty posts and, while I have every sympathy for those wishing to unload a bad day and seek advice and a hug, or tell us all about a nice day, Old Style is not the place the do it.
However loosely, Old Style is based around money saving areas in what most of us know as domestic science and home economics.
Because Old Style is a community though, and a good one, we have a daily thread which is our on line equivalent of chatting over the fence with the neighbours, so if your post is not a moneysaving post, please join the daily thread rather than start a new one.
TYIA
If your post is not about money saving it should not be posted anywhere other than the Daily Thread or into Discussion Time or The Arms.
Chatty posts are being moved into the daily thread if it is possible to do so and still leave things readable and not tangled up. Otherwise they will be moved to a more appropriate forum.
I'll quote the formal phrasing for this below for you.

Please only start MoneySaving discussions on the main boards. There are two boards provided for off-topic chat and discussion. The MoneySavers Arms has been set up for fun, more lighter-hearted chat (although do still remember this is a family forum – keep it clean please). Discussion Time is for discussion of current issues (read Martin’s description).
If you post a topic that does not relate to the board it’s posted on it will be moved to a more relevant MoneySaving board or to Discussion Time/The MoneySavers Arms.

Hi, I'm a Board Guide on the Old Style and the Consumer Rights boards which means I'm a volunteer to help the boards run smoothly and can move and merge posts there. Board guides are not moderators and don't read every post. If you spot an inappropriate or illegal post then please report it to forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com. It is not part of my role to deal with reportable posts. Any views are mine and are not the official line of MoneySavingExpert.
Never ascribe to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence.

If you mean a gardening board - the request should be made on the Site Feedback: Questions and Suggestions board. (and has been made there).
In the meantime I'm hoping that like last year we have a single monthly "What are you growing - Update" thread which worked very well.
You can find all of those listed under "growing your own" in the Food section of the MEGA Index.Hi, I'm a Board Guide on the Old Style and the Consumer Rights boards which means I'm a volunteer to help the boards run smoothly and can move and merge posts there.
