Oh well at least you got the title. Does anyone know of an insurance company that do breakdown coverage for a car that is over 10yrs old ?. Just discovered that Mondial wont do it for such an ancient vehicle....much appreciated. We are permanent residents in Italy so some company over here would probably be the most useful.

If you are seeking breakdown cover in Italy (also extendable to 'abroad') what about trawling the ACI site? www.aci.it I'm a bit of a gambler and an optimist, but my local garage was trying to wedge me into this, for my thirteen year old car, for the princely sum of 30something euros for fourteeen months cover. That was a special offer, but it isn't an expensive policy, and it runs independently of your full-time RCA insurer.

How the eff do you make a new post on this absurd forum?

I've come in on this thread, because the original query was resolved in a friendly and helpful way, which is, to my mind, what forums are about. Then,I had a notion to start a new thread (as in make a post), and I had also hoped to share my knowledge about hedges. No way could I do either of these things. LISTEN whoever is administratring this forum -DO YOU HAVE A DEATH WISH? What percentage is in it for you to kill this thing? We have put up with a really absurd format - learned to use it, persevered to an extreme degree, but now 'access denied' and the inability to start a thread - okay, we get the message, you'd love us to just piss off. Don't you think you are being evil? There is still a bit of life here, and if you bastards would just cede this non forum maybe it could be flogged off at zero cost to someone who might devote five minutes of his (or her) life on a monthly basis to cherishing it.

Fillide should be quite simple... click on Create Content in title bar the scroll to New Post....click and then type away. Feel free to have a go at the Ghost Admin, as no one seems to care any more.

There are times when I also get frustrated as I don't really understand the actual process, who does what etc. But, to date, clicking 'create content' on the menu bar up above..........works for me. BUT, one's content doesn't necessarily appear staright away (I don't know why !) I agree also that it would be 'nice' to know who is actually moderating the site. Given all that, there is a LOT of interaction here although there are times when it seems to 'stop dead'. I use to count to ten...............then I changed to fifteen ! S

Have just discovered you have to be SIGNED IN to actually see the create content bar - if you're not signed in then it doesn't appear. No wonder I sometimes got really frustrated..............thought I was going nuts/more nuts than usual!

That wasn't the problem!

Yes, I have been caught out by that snaglet of having been logged off before! The thing about making a new post - which I had no intention of limiting to a 'group' (why would anyone want to do this?) - would not allow me (I have since discovered) to simply publish a post publicly. That option was greyed out - but the workaround (the webmaster would no doubt term it a 'feature') was to publish to 'a group', and then the public option was no longer greyed out. The chap/ess who posted a question about hedges (which so far I have not been privileged to access) clearly posted it (quite logically) to a 'gardening group' and neglected to tick the 'public' box. This results in any potential responder being obliged to have historically attached themself to the 'gardening group' - an access controlled by either a terminally absent admin person, or the long dead (potentially - pace if you are still alive and kicking!) originator of said 'gardening' group. My beef is basically - why does this forum, uniquely, make life so difficult? I don't care if some folks really want only to talk to their mates in 'a group'. Fine, but to make that the default posting option is absolutely nonsensical. I despair - if you want to do Facebook it is there for you - enjoy: but if this is supposed to have any use whatsoever as an open forum then strip out this crap. (Rant over!)

OPEN GROUPS

Just to clarfy, Gardening group is an open group and this is the case with all the groups I have created. And I also click the public box to make contents available to all. On the other hand, I have also experienced problems whenever it happened that I was not signed in... and I do not know who signed me out.
