LavenderTi Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 Can we do replies or DM rather than editing the original post? With the previous thread I did not get notified when I was tagged and subsequently missed my slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the previous thread I did not get notified when I was tagged and subsequently missed my slot. If we didn't edit the original post, the thread would get really long. We can make sure that we also send a PM when we update the list. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The person who set up the original Google form left the club so we have not been able to edit it, so that is why I am re-doing it. Thanks!

I think there is some minor glitches with the sign up but definitely a better process. You’re on the list again after Sixspeed and pinoyreef is on the list twice.
