Hi Seeshell,
I just checked, & donald80 logged in yesterday on the Forum.
That can only happen if the email adress shown is correct.
So the email adress that shows if you click on his user name is different than the one you have posted for him.
Anyone wanting to contact donald, or any other member, should contact the adress that shows when you click on their name.
A lot of difficulties occur because people change email servers & adresses, then their contacts become invalid. Lots of our members are regularly being deleted from our membership lists because of changing adresses.
If you cannot log in after you change an email adress, contact one of the moderators & we will try to rectify the problem.
Remember our only way of contacting you is by email, so if that link disappears, be prepared to have your membership deleted during one of our 6 monthly membership checks. We cant contact an invalid adress.

G'day jbj, Could it be that moderators see things about a members profile that the member doesn't normally want the rest of us to see like.... their birthday and their email address. Donald80's email is "hidden" to the rest of us... maybe that's what he meant when he said it is wrong. Been meaning to bring up the policy of deleting members who change their email address and as a consequence don't "log on" for a period of time and finish up getting the flick. We have lost some long time dedicated valuable forum members because of this policy. Maybe members who have posted their vans in the "members photos" or have contributed to the "Technical section" could be excluded from being deleted....... just a thought Cobber.

Hi JBJ
Donald, who is actually 80, just indicated to me he was struggling doing a post and just asked if I might help him out, which I have done.
If the email address in the post does not match the one has with the forum I wouldn't know why - perhaps he has more than one email address he checks?
I'm sure PMing him with some advice about how to update it or get in contact with a moderator will be of great assistance.
Thanks Carley

Hi Seeshell. Not wanting to bother Donald, do you happen to know where he's located? I'm looking for a full set of original beds/dinette cushions but would need to be able to get to them to pick 'em up Cheers Izzy

Hi Isambard
I'm afraid I don't have any more detail, as I only know him virtually. My inlaws to came to Cowra for the Nationals and then met him as their neighbour in the caravan park. And shortly after he signed up with the forum.
I've sent him a PM to ask for location, in anticipation of this very question, but haven't heard yet. When I get that, I'll update the posting.
Cheers Seeshell

Hi Cobber,
I would love it if you can tell me some magic way I can contact someone that::
* I have no idea of their real name or location *I have no valid email contact or they dont reply *they have not logged into the Forum for at least 6 months
What else can we do but try to keep things relatively accurate.
Over 50% of all members have never posted anything
About 15% have posted 20 times.
Every 6 months there are around 75 new members never activate their account. Around 600 dont bother to log in during the previous 6 months.
Several hundred of them will have invalid email adresses, or not reply to our emails. Then there are the ones that join, forget what they join as, then rejoin, & it goes on.
Until I am directed by Forum administrators to stop doing 6 monthly clean ups, I will continue to put the 5 or 6 days working time into each effort, the way it is being done.

hi donald
you can change your email address through your profile.
log on, then click on the "profile" icon on the menu bar (above the advertisements).
then click on the "modify profile" link beside members bio.
you will see your email address under "account information".
change the address to your current email address.
go to the bottom of the page and click on "modify profile".
hope that helps - if you have any problems, email me your phone number and i'll walk you through it.
