| Posh Games |
| Why "Posh Games"? Our name is a play on words - based on the kind of games we play, and the nickname of the local football team. Peterborough United Football Club have been known as "The Posh" since the 1920s. As we are based in the Peterborough area, "Posh Games" seemed a good name for us. It is also fairly descriptive of many of the games we play, which are perhaps more sophisticated than older games such as Monopoly and Cluedo. Back to top |
 |
| How often do you meet? We have a regular day-time session on the second Saturday of the month, and semi-regular Tuesday evening Pub session is growing in popularity. Both of these sessions are open to all members. Other members also host individual session from home - these sessions tend to be limited in numbers. See the calendar for the latest schedule of dates and venues. Back to top |
|
| Where do you meet? Up until recently, the sessions have been hosted from member's own homes, in and around Peterborough. However, with growing numbers, we are also investigating function space within reach of the the City centre. Back to top |
|
| Would I have to come to every session? I am not sure I can make that kind of commitment. No, people are welcome to come whenever they want to. Some of us get to as many sessions as possible, others only come once every few months. There is no commitment necessary. Back to top |
|
| What kind of games do you play? A good idea of the kind of games we play can be gained from the "Recently Played" list, and the Games Database. Many of the games we play are modern "Euro" or "German" type games. These games are easily learned and can usually be played with 60-90 minutes - sometime less. Back to top |

| Games Database |
| Where has the Games Database gone? The Games Database is currently being worked on, and has been temporarily disabled. Back to top |

| Login and Registration Issues |
| Why can't I log in? You must register in order to log in. If you have registered and yet still cannot log in, then check and double-check your username and password. Usually this is the problem; if not, contact Chris__M Back to top |
|
| Why do I need to register? You don't need to register to read most of the website, but you do need to register to be able to post. Note that the session planner forum, where we plan when to meet, is restricted to registered users. Back to top |
|
| Why do I get logged off automatically? If you do not check the Log me in automatically box when you log in, the board will only keep you logged in for a preset time. This prevents misuse of your account by anyone else. To stay logged in, check the box during login. This is not recommended if you access the board from a shared computer, e.g. library, internet cafe, university cluster, etc. Back to top |
|
| How do I prevent my username from appearing in the online user listings? In your profile you will find an option Hide your online status; if you switch this on you'll only appear to board administrators or to yourself. You will be counted as a hidden user. Back to top |
|
| I've lost my password! Don't panic! While your password cannot be retrieved it can be reset. To do this go to the login page and click I've forgotten my password. Follow the instructions and you should be back online in no time. Back to top |
|
| Private Messaging |
| I cannot send private messages! There are three reasons for this; you are not registered and/or not logged on, the board administrator has disabled private messaging for the entire board, or the board administrator has prevented you individually from sending messages. If it is the latter case you should try asking the administrator why. Back to top |
|
| I keep getting unwanted private messages! In the future we will be adding an ignore list to the private messaging system. For now, though, if you keep receiving unwanted private messages from someone, inform the board administrator -- they have the power to prevent a user from sending private messages at all. Back to top |
|
| I have received a spamming or abusive email from someone on this board! We are sorry to hear that. The email form feature of this board includes safeguards to try to track users who send such posts. You should email the board administrator with a full copy of the email you received and it is very important this include the headers (these list details of the user that sent the email). They can then take action. Back to top |
