we have to notify the administration, via the button, even for a redirect request?
if we're always using the 'notify admin' for things like that, will we ever be able to post? do you need to notify the administration when we go the the bathroom too?
i'm getting confused!!!
is this more a privacy issue, like 'don't let anyone see that this post should be redirected' or are we required to use the button just because it makes things happen quicker?
and are there rules for notifying the admin in the faq?
thanks,
kk

You use the notify function for anything that might lead others to feel accused or put down.
So, say, if a new poster posts a medication question on Social, and someone wants to give friendly directions to the Medication Board, it's not necessary to contact the administrators. Although if you want it done officially it's probably quicker.
But in other redirect circumstances it might be better to contact the administrators. Context is important.
If posting it publicly could lead others to feel accused or put down, notify the administrators. Anytime you want to report a post for any purpose, it's likely better to notify the administrators. It's also faster.
We don't need to know when you go to the bathroom, thank you. :)

Ummm another question no won't tell when in the bathroom promise I really do. But seriously I'm a computer person who knows nothing so afraid to hit buttons . I just checked the registration board and there was a place to click for new registration. No I've moved several times since first registered really my husband registered for me as didn't even know what an e-mail was 4-5 years ago. He used my demographics but I notice that the spot for updating your registration only asks for posting name password and e-mail. So is there somewhere when registering for first time if they ask for a telephone number and what happens if that changes as your're not registering for the first time but only giving a new e-mail as your ISP has changed and boy mine has changed three times since I moved. Thanks didn't want to start a new thread thought I thought this fit in nicely. Thanks Phillipa
