About 3 or 6 months ago, the top reader's letter in the BBC Wildlife Mag was a thought-provoking demand that we in Britain do something to save our own forests before we go blaming Brazil and Indonesia for destroying their rainforests. It mentioned stuff about reforesting our tree-less areas and how economically it would be a winner.

I'd love to get the text and the writer's name but unfortunately I gave away or threw out ...

hi guys,
i was just wondering if there is a default setting so that when ever i make a post on a topic i get an email, or do i have to click the "notify me" thing alllllll the time

I've just checked my emails and had several informing me that new posts had been made on several of the topics on the forum but when I clicked on the relevant links it took me to the thread but the 'new' posts had been made months ago :shock:
Perhaps the BBC Wildlife mag server is in a localised Bermuda triangle ...

Hi Heather
I just realised, with the old forum under the users name there was a title such a "super member", "bigginer" and that sought of thing, and I noticed that the new website does t have it. Is there anyway of bringing it back? Because it gave the member like dodger and Sandra a bit of authority/reliability (or at least I thought so) and it was always cool whenever I went up a rank, ...

Here's a question I just posted on a thread at 12:00 noon yet the post shows it as 13:00 (1:00pm) has someone forgotten to change the website clock back an hour?

Hello

I'm probably being super-dense but just wondered if there was a way of finding previous competition winning entries online for the travel writer wildlife competition, or do I have to order back-issues? Have had a look but not got too far but, as I say, prob just me being daffy.

Thanks in advance for any advice!

Not sure if I'm particularly dumb regarding submitting an entry for this competition, maybe someone could enlighten me.

I wrote a piece to enter, 800 words max as a Word document as demanded by the T's&C's. Filled in the application details, click submit, knocked back with 'entries must be in .txt files' - news to me I thought, nevertheless I proceeded to convert to .txt (render unto Caesar what is Caesar's etc..). Duly completed the ...

Hi,
They are some great photo's in this years camera trap competition, but can you tell us what traps and trail cams were used?

Trailcams are taking off in this country and information like what the pro's would use, is very helpful in deciding which ones to get.

Hi,

While I like the idea of the photo comps for members, I find the voting is wide open for abuse and vote stuffing. I looked through the recent birds comp and the leading entry (most votes) is a staggering 70+ votes ahead of its nearest rival (and the photo is pretty poor and not even in focus). You can also vote more than once for an image as long as you only do it ...

Is the forum moderated at all? Its pretty frustrating when you log on and most of the new posts are just spam. Does the report post button work?
Sorry to complain but the forum has few enough posters as it is, we really need to attract genuine new members and its got to be pretty offputting for people who are tempted to join when they see that most of the activity comes from spammers. I ...
