I have noticed @Peter will sometimes merge a new thread with something many years old
The real problem is that most people never use the Search function 
and suddenly you cant work out where the thread went
Normally, I insert a @ username tag in the new location to alert the poster that his post was moved. So why didn’t this work? A lot of people have duff email addresses, or joined up with a bogus email address (nowadays that is a lot harder; I don’t approve new members to post if they did that, and the system checks the email address of new joinups against a list of about 2000 disposable email addresses) or just never read their email.
over 10 years old and no longer applicable.
That’s why people should contribute to our airports database 
Many do of course, but many more could and don’t, and some do but not usefully; the other day a Guest with a PA46 created an entry which omitted all the costs he/she paid. Unfortunately, a Guest can’t come back and edit the entry afterwards; that is the price paid for having a Guest facility which enables people to contribute to our database without getting excommunicated on their usual forum

Interestingly I never get the email when someone puts @ in front of my name. I’ve come across a few by chance and never got the email. But I do get PMs and flyin notices.
Interesting. I get loads, and it is readily apparent in general that others do also.
All go out via the same system, using a 3rd party email server to avoid the standard blacklisting issues with running own smtp servers.
However, the automatic “@…” notifications are obviously a different text from PMs and may look more “machine like” and thus get dumped by your ISP filters. See link below, and others, re whitelisting euroga.org.
Fly-in emails are sent from a separate system which uses DKIM signing. This one costs real money and has usage caps on it which is why we don’t do mailshots all the time. And any email system which is dumping those is crap (still, some do).
Also check this in your Preferences
I’ve that unticked because I don’t want notifications about new posts.
Receive Watch Notifications
Do you want to receive a notification whenever a new post is made on a thread you’re watching or a thread is started in a topic you’re watching?
Maybe the two functions are on the same tickbox? You won’t get notifications on new posts unless you explicitly follow a thread.

I always look at database for recent reports before searching trip reports at forum. The other they I looked for info LFBO and found nothing and, after asking here, I got reply on recent visits. I understand that sometimes is boring to fill in the form but this is really useful for many forum members.
Filling in the form is very quick once you have done one before, because the browser remembers the previous stuff like aircraft type.

Let’s see how many fly-in participants will fill-in report for LESU
