ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Try, where possible, to acknowledge your sources of information

Please acknowledge sources of info, photos etc

hi folks just a quick reminder that if you post any photographs on this forum that were found on other history networks could you try to remember to acknowledge the site where you found them...we would like to think that photos found on our forum are acknowledged and indeed i do know that a lot...

........could we please ask members to read our good practice reminders on post 1 especially the ones regarding the starting of a new thread and politeness within the forum....we are seeing an increasing amount of new threads started without first checking to see if we already have one for subject or topic.. this increases the work load for moderators because we then have to move them to the appropriate section..regarding the politeness... it goes without saying that manners costs nothing....at this time of year we have moderators on holiday at various times so that leaves us short of mods who are able to run this forum so anything our members can do to make life a little easier for us would be appreciated...

many thanks

the team
