    Just a timely warning against putting your email address and other personal details, ie mobile numbers, addresses etc in posts on the forum.  Posts in most areas of the forum can be viewed by anyone around the world and it's not a good idea to make your personal details publicly viewable.

    There are automated search engines which scan websites for email addresses and add them to spam lists, if you want to avoid getting spam, avoid making your email address visible in this way.

    If you need to send someone your email address or phone number use the Private Message system which is secure and can only be seen by those you intend seeing the details.

    Note also that if you have put your email address and any other details in posts and you want to remove it you can edit any post you have made.
