UCET on Facebook

[John Oh]

Would anyone like to see forum threads posted to facebook. I set it up for our canoe club website to encourage members who do not regularly use the forum to see what is going on. We don't have the same number of topics but it could be done for say "trips and events"  & "News"

I would love to see it on FB but it is currently held on an ex-members personal page and I don't think that is right.

If we could have it removed and start it again on a club owned page (or whatever) I think that would be great !

I believe timbo is admin for the fb page

[Ian A]

Yes but it is still an attachment to an ex-member's account. That ex-member cannot be removed, :unsure:

[John Oh]

We could just start a new facebook page - beside which if we want to auto post to it, it has to be a facebook user not a group as it has to run a RSS App.

I would be in favour of that John ....

What thoughts are eminating from everyone else I wonder .....

:whistle: :whistle: :whistle:

Grumpy old man, here.

Please not another website/facebook page I have to keep track of AaaaaaGggggggHhhhhhhh

People will find us. We don't need to shout.

Quality whispers and is heard.

It's not about a another facebook page, what I am talking about is for members who use facebook but not the forum. The forum would still be the main point of contact but posts made to selected categories in the forum would automatically also appear on the ucet facebook page, you would still have to go on to the forum to reply.

I suppose there is little point asking on this forum if the people you would use it don't look here :sick:

I was thinking of this some time ago but......

How many people are we really talking about... i.e. members who use facebook but don't use the ucet site.... not many i would guess?

[mike leahy]

or maybe johno is just thinking of putting us out there as facebook is so popular
(not that i would know)

[Tim Watts]

Yer, but we already have a facebook presence that links to our site here.

Johno - what i would say is hold off any any changes for a little while though - I'm gonna be rebuilding on a new version of Joomla and Kunena pretty soon.
