Thanks Andy, spot on and is exactly what i hope will bring people over to NMS.

This might not suit everybody and i don't want to totally destroy NMS, so, i am open to discussion and everything will be considered.
If the site does not grow with the FB link enabled, then i can turn it off, but, i feel i have to try something.

£350 a year in host fees and software is a lot to dish out for a low member base

Can you switch it off again? Yes I pressed it on!!!!!!!!!

There's always one.

Yes Stewart, you can 'Dsiconnect' your NMS and Facebook connection - although I'm not sure why you would want to, just don't tick the 'post to facebook' button when you post anything - it sits unticked as default anyway.

But if you really want to disconnect the two....

Click "Settings" then on the left panel under "My Account" click "Edit Connections"... It will show your Facebook platform connection, just click "Disconnect".

Cheers!

I like to keep things simple, that's why twitter got the heave as it just bombarded me with Information, yes some interesting and yes some useful but felt enough was enough and i did not need it or want it in my life. I really did not need to know what Film some Celebrity was going to watch or that the guy on the news was going to bed early….;)

FB is nice to see what is going on with friends and that’s the way I like it.

NMS is still catching up with friends but in a Mini sense.

I know exactly what you mean Stewart. Like these folk who constantly post pics of their dinner on FB. I mean, who would DO that? :lol:

I checked into the site last night, just to see what was what, and noticed that although you can check out the Forums, you can't actually access them/take part unless you have a Username and Password. If this is indeed the case, I don't really see a problem. And if the Facebook thing is optional, fair enough.

If we can attract more members by 'spreading the net' (inter or otherwise) a bit wider, then that's fine. There must be quite a few MINI fans out there who are just not aware of NMS. I've run off a bunch of NMS flyers for the show on Sunday, but will carry a few around and maybe drop some in to Parks MINI just in case we can pick up a few more. Every little bit helps! MINI itself is doing REALLY well - new investment from BMW, decent sales etc - so we should be able to capiltalise on that success. If MINI's on the up, we shouldn't be going down...

:thumbs up:

As a non FB user I need to get this clear in my head. A stranger can get into NMS from FB and see the Forums. He then clicks into this thread. I understand he can't see pictures or attachements or post up a reply, but can he read all the posts in a thread?
For example, If Andy replies to this post and links it to FB, can one of his FB friends read not only his post, but all the other posts including mine, even although I haven't "ticked" the FB link? Apologies if this seems stupid.
