    OK - Apart from misspelling the profile 'Barnsley FC News BBS' as 'Banrsley'

    Since when did we move to (or agree to) pushing out every new thread as a tweet (to currently 740 followers).

    Although we know that this site allows guest access so anyone can read them here, I'm a little uncomfortable knowing that any thread I start is also being tweeted out to a much wider audience.

    Shouldn't the 'Submit New Thread' button be renamed to 'Submit New Thread and Tweet' to let users know how their posts are being used?

    In fact the 'Submit New Thread' button should be renamed to 'Submit New Thread and Tweet and Post It On Facebook Too' :p

    Aye, the new threads do appear to be sent automatically to Twitter.

    You'd have thought only official BBS Messages were tweeted.

    I post on here and do not expect it to be displayed on such as Facebook, which I cannot stand, or anything else with out my knowledge.

    No more contributions from me till this is altered.

    Just viewing from now on.

    Can i ask you why? It only posts the subject of a new thread and not who posted the thread. It doesnt post replies etc.
