    Thanks Mark Jovana also pointed that out. I think it used to be 100 - but maybe I'm just mis-remembering.

    Yep, the spreading of interaction is a real issue. We (GuitarForum.co.za) almost didn't start a Facebook page because of this but, despite the spreading of interaction, we've found Facebook to be an invaluable tool for growing our forum subscriber base. So the odd guy posts on FB, no biggie. I think they sooner or later realise that the actual forum is where the action's at, and then we gain a member

    Also, what's nice about FB is that people on there ALREADY KNOW how to interact on a discussion online. I won't go so far as to say that they have any netiquette (they usually don't) but at least, when they convert, you're getting people who will begin interacting almost immediately. On a forum, that's priceless. We have over 5,000 members, most of which are on our newsletter as well, but we're lucky if 5% of those people actually post on the forum on a daily basis. So any way I can find to get pre-educated users (people who know how to use the internet), is considered gold to me and my partner!

    Your kind offer has been accepted.

    Thanks Mark.

    EDIT: It seems there might be some settings that need tweaking - and a suitable "profile pic" image would be cool too

    If you could deploy your expertise in these things when you've got a chance, that would be great.

    Oh my - Mark's been busy decorating our TFSA Facebook page!

    Always amazes me how a few well thought out touches can change the whole look and feel of a web page.
