Thank you for reading this note and enjoy the Forum.
 
I'm flagging up these good practice reminders, particularly as we seem to have posts on various other subjects appearing in this guidance section of the forum. This section is intended for advice and guidance to members.

Please check out the sections of the forum to find the correct place when starting new threads. This applies, especially if you are new to this forum's format.

Thank you for reading this thread.
