I wasn't looking for the codes, thanks, I was only refering to Fergus' post of no code posting. I wanted to know if PM was allowed.
Must be the socialist in me...everytime I see something stating you can't do this or that...I get a bit uptight. Knowledge is meant to be shared not hidden!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Evening all!!! I see we have had a very interesting afternoon,should be great fun, hopefully now people will relise that for yonks we have suggested Flashing there boxes, so now its no longer a suggestion but a must!!In fairness to this site it was one of the Trusted sites were we were allowed post the codes ,if , and when required, So if you want to continue using the boxes simply update the neccessary and do as the Admin asked.All the updates are in the usual places (seek and you will find)
PS Wecome back Fergus good to hear from you Bud!

personally i think its a good thing...its gonna now force people to actually do something instead of taking the easy option.and if everyone flashes their boxes then it will be a waste of time changing codes at all so its a win win.

I am one of the lucky ones who has an updated box, but I feel for those who don't.
Not everybody is computer literate or able to do it.
Would appear that pressure was brought to bear in the matter, but I have no proof of that.
Just happened very suddenly.
Often wondered if we should all meet sometime, and have a good chat about things in general.
We have a lot in common, and have shared some "traumatic" times together.
Does anyone else see the value of a general meeting?
Just a suggestion, but would like to have your views.
We could, at least, put faces on each other.
And we could PM each other re. arrangements.
All views welcome.
Thanks.

I agree with everything being said...however...what about those who just don't have the smarts to do it themselves?
I have to update boxes for 4 people, all of whom I work with, (last year as well for those who were actually on this site then) because they just can't comprehend the methods involved.
I accept it's possibly a watch your ass thing or even a threat of legal action, and the forum owners have the right to restrict posts as they see fit...but to me the reaction of some of the members here is a bit OTT and a bit "I'm glad this happened so now you can't be lazy anymore". Why did you all post the codes in the first place if you felt that way?
You can find out how to electrically re-wire your home on the web...so all the info is there...but maybe you don't understand it,or are apprehensive in attempting it... thats why you ask someone to help you out.
Sorry for the rant but once again' think of those who don't understand it like we do!

Well said.
And you are right to point out that the forum owners have the right to make decisions over their forum.
But there are two sides.
And you highlighted the other side very, very well.
I won't be rewiring the house either!

thats a fair point but how many of the people asking for codes do you really think dont have the smarts...they're smart enough to work a computer to get the codes...and they're smart enough to input the codes...in real terms flashing the box is so simple but its the thought of it that is intimidating not the reality.

LOL. Very good point, I must agree on that, yes they have the smarts to get on here and ask the question and then change the codes, accepted.
You are completely right...it is the thought of it that causes the issue and the fear (?) of breaking the box too.
I flashed 2 boxes in work today, while the people stood beside me. I showed them how easy it is and that it took 100 seconds to do it.
Honestly...they might as well have been looking into a hedge. Although, I must admit, maybe if I was not able or refused to do it for them they might have to do it themselves.
Anyway, regardless of my stance on this flashing is the way forward and everyone will have to do it now, like it or not.
Rant over.
