OVF and Coronavirus – find help and offer support on our forum
Please read our update on changes to our forum in light of the global pandemic.
A message from OVF founder Rob Fielding
These are worrying times for many of us so I want to give an update on how the OVF forum can potentially be a positive resource especially for our more older or vulnerable users.
I know that some of our users are older or vulnerable to the virus and may now have to self-isolate for some time, potentially missing contact with loved ones, possibly feeling alone and may be struggling to get essential items.
With this in mind, I am putting the following plan in place for the OVF Forum:
A dedicated Coronavirus Help and Support section
- Those in self-isolation and needing help can post asking for help (e.g. for something to be delivered)
- Those who want to offer help (e.g. if you offer a service such as gardening, dog walking)
You can find the new forum section here
This forum will open to all. It it the only forum area which will be open to guests so you do NOT need to be registered on OVF to post and reply in this section.
As many adverts in this section will also be disabled. It is not possible to disable all adverts but as many as I can will be removed from this section. It is not my intention to gain any revenue from this section of the forum.
A request for tolerance from all users
I hope that all of you stay safe and take care of yourselves.
