    Thanks 2011.
    As already discussed I believe it should be kept to PSA licenced installers only.
    The manufacturer access seemed like a good idea at the time. But thinking about it, it could never work. It would be too hard to police and manufacturers would be wary of other competitors just as we would be wary of non licenced installers.
    Eg I'm sure HKC wouldn't be happy that GSD and Siemens and others would have access to threads possibly discussing faults /bugs etc.
    And, of course vice versa.

    Update: Thanks to a number of forum members and KoolKid in particular this forum has been revamped and is ticking along nicely.

    If any more PSA registered installers are interested in joining send me a PM and I will get the process moving.

    I totally agree but as their is users who are not PSA licenced installers having access to this forum this is worrying.

    I'm not with you. Everyone has access to this forum. It's about helping people, why is that worrying?

    I went through all that have access there are with 2011. Excluding that moderator and admins everyone with access is psa licenced.
    If you have concerns to the contrary PM 2011.

    No disrespect to the moderator and admins but their should have been appointed PSA registered installers to moderate/cmod the forum. People place their trust and put their hard earned money to get a PSA licenced contractor to install and maintain alarms but a forum where PSA contractors are discussing faults /bugs etc and others are reading this info is worrying to me anyway.

    Admins have to have access. It's Boards.ie who are hosting the site after all.
    To be honest I don't think any Admin here would have any interest in browsing through the forum unless there were issues.
    I would have no problem with 2011 s access either.

    Believe me, from someone's perspective who is not an installer I reckon it is hard going trying to understand the lingo we use over there.

    One does not have to understand it at all, anyways it seems a trust is there so all is well.
