    Hi @roberttaylor570 and welcome to our online community.  I'm glad you found us.

    You can get involved in lots of ways.  Our virtual Coffee Lounge is a good place to start where we have relaxed chat about different topics and games going on.  

    If you want to talk about something more specific such as your impairment or a disability issue, have a browse through our different categories and see if anything takes your interest.  

    Feel free to join in where you want, all opinions and questions are more than welcome and our community is very friendly  :)

    How are you today?  Have you had a nice morning?

    Hello Cher.  A varied morning.  Grand children are at school, Son is at home and I am just doing a few things on the laptop before going to a meeting of my Church PCC this evening, the first since lockdown.  I hope you are well.

    @roberttaylor570 That sounds like a pleasant morning and I'm well, thank you for asking.  

    Good luck with your return to the church, I imagine it will be nice to see some familiar faces again.  How have you found the lockdown in general?

    We have been back in church for a few weeks now but this is the first time we have been able to meet as a committee.  We will all be masked and no refreshments are possible due to regulations.  It is rather strange at services as we cannot sing but can have organ/piano music.

    @janer1967 Thank you.  I have had quite a few messages and think the Fish and Chips one is brilliant!  I think I should change my settings though as my email inbox is filling up fast.  What do the rest of you have your settings on?

    You will get an email when somebody comments on a post you have created or if you have responded to a post so yes quickly gets your inbox full 

    I dont think you can change this but will tag in admin to sdk 

    @Cher_Scope can you help here

    @janer1967 @Cher_Scope Thank you.  I am getting emails when people comment on anything.  Would it help changing the ticked boxes to notifications  rather than emails.?

    @roberttaylor570 If you go to your notification preferences and untick the email option for notifications you don't want to receive that should solve it for you.  I realise the emails can quickly become overwhelming sometimes!

    Please let me know if you need any more help.

    @Cher_Scope Thank you and @janer1967 for your advice.  I hopw what I have just done reduces the flurry of emails.  I have ticked notifications in a lot of cases and only left a few on email..  Thanks again.
