Someone posted this lovely post on SE23 Mums FB page:
Hello lovely ladies & gents.
Bit of a plug for a new local forum www.SE23.life it’s user friendly, works well on phones and tablets and seems to have some of the most well connected people in the area involved.
A great place for local news, gossip, etc without having to use Facebook.
(I only found out about it today and thought others might be interested)…
SE23.life
The Forum for Forest Hill and Honor Oak Park
WWW.SE23.LIFE
Someone replyed with this:
I can’t seem to log on via Facebook on my iPhone - it’s telling me to close the page but when I do I’m logged out again.
I’ve replied saying I’ll check with the ones up on IT & get back to them. So @anon5422159 @anon64893700 & @thirstforwine can one of you reply to this question so I can copy & paste it and reply on SE23 Mums

Probably the same problem someone else was having on another thread, let’s see if I can find it.

Ah, just realised it was @LiseOfFH that posted this nice post 
Thanks @Pauline and @anon64893700. I’m with @Liz_Hall’s family today for our niece’s bday, so haven’t had the opportunity to get on this site much today.

I’ve been waiting to be approved for SE23 Mums for months - for some reason I’m not being approved (despite my wife being a member), so I cannot comment, sadly
It took a while for me to be approved as well so probably nothing personal Rob, I think it’s just a local mum that set it up so understandably may take a while to be approved.
It’s got massive traffic & a great local FB group so well worth one of you guys joining as #SE23Life @anon5422159 @anon64893700 or @thirstforwine to reply to any IT queries
In the meantime I can carry on copy & pasting instructions 
Yes, but I did wait for months, so a bit much by all measures. I have requested it again recently as my wife trades a lot of stuff there and I would like to be able to see what is happening, but still waiting 
I’ll post in a bit asking for you to be approved 
oh, don’t worry. Just not sure about the admin system.
As someone who manages several FB forums I know it is hard, but just saying that I cannot participate or get involved unless I am approved. No stress 
Just posted this Rob @thirstforwine 
Hi, could Robert McIntosh be approved please in this group as he’s one of the admins on the new forum SE23.life & can answer IT questions much better than me. Thanks

Hi all,
Yes @Pauline that was my plug!
The person who had an issue was trying to use her fb account to create a se23.life account, likely a phone fb app to browser issue. I suggested a few solutions, she’s not replied since.
It’s a great group, thousands of members since it was set up ~ 3 1/2 years ago and quite rightly the admins are overwhelmed! (It’s nothing personal @thirstforwine)
@anon5422159 I would be very interested if you have any google analytics traffic data for what if any impact the post had on people signing up?!?

Been another good day so far (note, partial data for the 30th):
Thanks so much for posting on a busy FB group - that is a great way to spread the word.
