As well as voting in our poll, please also post your feedback in this thread.

don't know about others but I have e-mail addresses coming out
of my ears.
all ISP's insist on it and refuse to acknowledge any other address.
I use any of three at the moment but over the years I have had at least eight.
Heaven knows if there is any mail for me there because I never go back to look.
On top of that I still havent tamed Outlook Express to send mail
from different addresses when not logged into the same ISP.

I agree with Bonsai,
if you ask nicely you can have sharky@pfscan.com?
I expect Helen could do you sharky@eurothingy.org.uk... email addy's are fast becoming almost as much a pain as username/password access for everything you do online. Nice thought, but to me it's like offering people extra letterboxes - I already have one in my door, what would I need another for?

Thanks for all your feedback. I appreciate it doesn't appeal to everyone... Still, 25% of people showed an interest so I'm going to proceed on the basis of a free account payed for by advertising.

One consideration I did have, was whether to let members choose any name for their email address, or force them to use their username - if the latter, then spaces and illegal characters we'd probably just convert to underscores. Let me know what you think?

 

[bonsai]

just hope the adverts don't mean pop-ups !!!!!!!!!
or pop unders. They are even worse.

Hi bonsai,

Not to worry - I'm keeping it separate from the trade2win.co.uk site - and any advertising (just standard banner ads) will be restricted to this separate site.

We're a pop-up/down/sideways free zone

I suggest keeping their T2W nicks, as it might just be simpler.

... and well done on the popup ban - some financial sites trigger my popup killer so often it sounds like deranged popcorn going off. (That'll take some imagination to figure out what 'deranged popcorn' sounds like... <g>)
