Hi Maggi, maybe I'm being dense but I can't see any sign of a forum? Is it in the member's area (which I can't access at the moment for some reason)?

[Tristan_He]

OK literally just had an email from the group! Got the link now.

[Maggi Young]

The Mec Group Forum is accessed from the Forum link  from the top of the list to the left hand side of the main page : direct  link is  http://www.meconopsis.org/forum/index.php
It appears that anyone may register. The forum template is another SMF  version, similar to the one we use here - but the photos are only visible to members it seems.

[Maggi Young]

Ian Christie tells me that  Registration is open to everyone and once you register you will see the pictures.

[Steve Garvie]

Unfortunately the site appears to have been trashed by "spam" adverts for various drugs.

[Maggi Young]

Please get in touch with Ian Christie  to warn  them, Steve - they cannot have any  filters in place to prevent spammers gaining access.
