Forum Info

You can change your profile by clicking on the icon when you are logged into the forum and choose the various option from the 'Your Profile' menu on the left hand column.

Please Note: Members can only change their profile and add a signature once they have made a minimum of 25 posts. This limit has been put in place to stop the new members who were joining the site to simply advertise their own website and link from their profile without contribtuing to the community.

We do not aim to censor posts as long as they fall inside the rules and guidelines. We welcome debate and views expressed from every angle, and we do not take a stance for or against any wildlife or environment topic. However, we ask that all political discussions be kept relatively light-hearted.

We reserve the right to move, modify or delete posts or threads, without explanation, and may take further action to disable the offender's account at the discretion of the moderators.

Wild About Britain allows occasional links to external websites, but we don't allow spam. We're keen to help promote wildlife and environment websites around the UK, but we also want to control the type and amount of links posted on the site.

With a few conditions attached (see below) we allow quite a lot links on the site via our link pages, forum signatures, directory, forum profile, news etc, but we don't want links to start filling up the forum threads because:

Moderators oversee the running of the forums to ensure that they operate smoothly and that members keep to the site rules. Moderators have the ability to edit and delete posts, move threads, and perform other tasks to maintain the forums.

The forum moderators are fourwings, fungijohn, glsammy, matt_xyz, nightshade, oy, stuartdh, tinkerbell and wildone

Members can edit their posts for 30 minutes after the initial posting, but they cannot delete their posts.

To edit your posts, click the button by the post you want to edit. After you have made your modifications, a note will appear, which notifies other users that you have edited your post. Administrators and moderators can also edit your messages.

When a member makes a post their post count goes up. At certain milestones their title will change to:

Under 25 posts = New Member

25 posts = Active Member

100 posts = Wild Member

250 posts = Member of the Wild Empire

500 posts = Officer of the Wild Empire

1,000 posts = Commander of the Wild Empire

5,000 posts = Knight of the Wild Empire

10,000 posts = Knight Grand Cross of the Wild Empire

 

Just a bit of fun :D

Unfortunately, members can't change their username as many areas of the site are linked by username information that would lead to many broken links if the name is changed.
