Lurkers

[AshimotoK0]

Which features on here can 'Lurkers' use. Can they PM ? Do they have access to desperately seeking & stuff for sale on here ?

[Orcade-Ian]

I just logged off to see what facilities were available,

Can see stuff wanted but obviously can’t reply or pm without being logged on and therefore a member.  But many lurkers are members!  Are you wondering how many posts before full facilities are available - dunno.

Had to log back on to send you this

From what I have worked out, if they register as members, they can access everything even if they have never even made a single post or comment.

If I pop in without logging on, it all works apart from photos - I can see ones  I hosted on photo image etc, but a lot are missing, there’s just a paper clip where they aren’t.

I’m not sure why, or even where they are hosted.

It's just that I had an item for sale on here for yonks and no takers. Then, out of the blue, someone asked me if it was still available. Then shortly afterwards I got a PM from a Lurker saying they wanted to buy and sent me instant payment so no problems at all with the transaction. Mistakenly though , because of the time frames involved,  I wrongly assumed the 'lurker' was the the guy asking if they were for sale but seems the person asking in the 1st place was a full member, when I  checked back. Just surprised that a 'Lurker' can PM someone other than SteveD or even have access to buy stuff for sale.

I think they have to be a registered member to PM you Ash, the true lurkers that don't join can't send PM s as they need to be registered/logged in to send/ receive messages.

Bloody lurkers, they remind he of people who sit in pubs and public places listening to other people's conversations ,laughing wryly to themselves nodding and disagreeing as if thete involved. same sort of people who just poke their head above the parapet once in a blue moon just to get something they want then retreat
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I wonder how many lurkers will read this

"Lurkers" have joined up but not posted. They have the same permissions as everybody else.
