Just had a thought (yes it did hurt).....if a new member cannot PM until they rach a certain post count does this mean they have to post a load of responses before they can reply to a rehoming thread? :huh:

Well theoretically - the short answer is yes.

How many is it now? 15? At least it gives time for them to get established I suppose.

I'm not sure TBH. It's not ideal but it seems to be the only way to stop the sniping !

Rehome/sale threads get locked for PM only response, when an animal finds a new home, can the OP reply to the thread to say so?

Nope but they can let us know & we can update the title, which is what we do now :)

Have any of the GLs got an email addy in their profiles? Maybe new members could email asking them to pass on their details to the animals owner?

If you are going to put an email addy public - I would seriously consider creating one specifically for the task, as various spammer etc harvest addresses that are public and that addy would quickly get spammed to hell....

When the account gets loads of spam...get a new one!

:lol: So did I...

It's a good point sooz. And yes, we usually get a pm letting us know, or, if I don't hear from them for a while, I pm to ask :D

Shame it makes it awkward though...

Thanks for this sooz - we've now got an email: rehomingpets@yahoo.co.uk

If you see your thread on Piper, my closing post has been edited :) Hope that suits!
