I'm in Brisbane Brent, and would consider reasonable travel

Melbourne here.  Sounds like a great idea.

Personally I think it is a great idea. People dwell on the bad side of life too much these days. It would be nice to have a thread with all good reports and views.
Well that's my opinion anyway

It would also be a good idea if members took some time to welcome newbies.

It's nice to feel welcome after you register and as guest's can read the welcomes, it may encourage more to join.

That is the thinking behind the History Board: people can write about themselves and their personal history with P and, by dint, introduce themselves to PHO...then PHO people can say hi and welcome them along.

It is sometimes difficult for newbies to launch themselves into a thread when they haven't posted before...the History Room is a perfect ice-breaker.

Yes it works, but i think more members should go and say welcome to new members, it don't take long to say Hi. so come on members check out history Board each time you log on and welcome all the the new members.

There is nothing worse than plucking up the courage to say a bit about yourself, and only getting a couple of reply's.

Go and look now, and say welcome.

Fred.

Could we not have a Newbie Board - rather than, or as well as a history board - that way newbies could perhaps just say hello rather than feel they have to tell all... Just to say they are new - give us all a chance to say hello and then take it from there. Just a thought

Great idea, some people might not want to tell their story, but just say hello.

I think thats sort off like the first thread in the history room, where new members can vote how they found pho and just say Hi.?
I do remember my first 'hello' posts on here way back and it was pretty daunting, but such a relief just to find other sufferers
