Who is this forum for?

Anyone who lives or plays within the Tayside & Fife Region and is interested in Squash (or Racketball!) in any way whatsoever - players, parents of players, friends of players, non-playing squash fans, and their representatives.

What is this forum for?

Anything people want to use it for!

Initially I am hoping it will make it easier for everyone, especially committee members, to arrange meetings and/or make their opinions known about subjects which will be discussed at meetings they will be unable to attend. If it proves popular enough then I hope it will be engaged more widely for players to ask questions of their representative committee members or discuss the game with each other. At the moment it is a trial, and a work in progress.


Are there forums rules?

• Please obey all the rules of etiquette you would follow if you were face-to-face with other forum users - this means keeping posts as constructive as possible without causing offense, but even more importantly it means we should also take all posts on good faith i.e. assume no offense is intended, and respond accordingly. Forums can be notoriously difficult for misunderstandings and meaningless squabbles - lets try not to go there!
• Please try to give topics appropriate and accurate titles so people know what the thread is about without reading it. Similarly when someone starts a topic please try to stick to that topic. If you have a point to make that isn't directly relevant you should feel free to start a new thread. Sometimes moderators might split, rename or move topics if they feel it is necessary - please do not take offense at this, it is their job to make the forums as user-friendly as possible.
• Please try to use an appropriate username when you register - it's fine not to use your full real name, but please make sure you can be distinguished from other people who may have the same first name.

I'm a committee member - How do I access the committee areas?

You will need to register, then either email me or use the forum PM system to let me know who you are so I can add you to the relevant group or groups. You should then be able to view and post on the committee related forums.

Hi All, If a non-teccy like me can join, anyone can. Only problem is another password to remember!!! Thank you for organising this David, jennifer

[David Williams]

Hi all,

Thanks for giving it a try; it's good to see we already have a significant representation from the various committees. I would suggest those who are committee members (everyone so far!) subscribe to the Committee forum so you will receive email notifications for new threads/posts.

There should be a limit of 1 email per day so it shouldn't ever swamp your inbox. But if you find that too much, you might try checking the forums once per week and subscribing only to individual threads which you think are relevant to you. So you would only get notified by email if those threads are replied to. It is still limited to one per day and it should bundle everything into one email even if multiple threads were updated.

To edit these options you can go to your profile - I think you subscribe to individual threads using the 'Actions' dropdown menu at the top of the thread. But I could be wrong...

I feel your pain - I need about 6 different passwords for different systems at work, and they make me change them every few weeks, and they have to meet different criteria so they cant even be similar.

I highly recommend an app like PassDiary which is probably available on Android etc as well. You can then keep all your different passwords safe on your phone/ipod. To get to them you need to first unlock your phone, then enter a single password to enter the application, then it tells you all your other login details you have stored. I have about 30 passwords of mine and my family's stored in there!

Obviously I don't recommend using it for really important stuff like bank accounts. But for online forums, twitter, facebook, and other fluff & nonsense that nobody in their right minds would want to break into, and doesn't give people the ability to ruin your life even if they do, it works great. Highly recommended.

Hi David, you said that you had posted on the proboard about a proposed meeting of some of each of Tayside and Fife, Dundee and District and Fife leagues committees or interested people. I cant find your post!!!I think you were proposing wed 18th or thurs 19th. I would prefer wed but could defer a league game if thurs suits more people. Yours jennifer

[David Williams]

Hi Jennifer. The thread is here:

www.tfsra.proboards.com/thread/8/combined-committee

You can probably skip to the end - it's going to be either Tuesday 17th or Wednesday 18th, and we still need to decide where. I got the days those dates fall on wrong when we spoke on the phone - sorry!
