    I was looking at the forum site on Facebook and thinking that it doesn't really do much for our image...The posts are just one complaint after the other about the site being down.:wallbanging:
    Any suggestions to make it more appealing?:what:

      Good idea Java, I've only ever thought of it as a refuge when the main site is down, never thought about it being an advert for us. A pretty poor advert as you say. Maybe we should all post a few more positive things on there or would that look contrived?

        Sounds like a good idea to me

        Maybe some posts about the challenges or 'what to do in the garden this month' sort of things.

            It has been very useful whenever the main site goes down, it's re-assuring to find other members posting on FB so it's not just your computer/ISP playing up. But as Java&Me says we only post there when something has gone wrong with the site, hence it's a fair bit of complaining/moaning (is that any difference to the main site :lunapic 130165696578242 5:)

                Is that how Facebook is supposed to work? - with each 'post' overlapping/repeating the previous one? No wonder I only use it to 'like' products in order to get money off coupons or check why GC's down.

                Its a mystery to me why its coming out like that, more straightforward on my own wall, except they made me have this stupid timeline thing.
