So every TDO member has an email, many will have a smartphone/android/iphone capable of getting emails

why not have an email addy to TDO that gets resent to all members so if you breakdown you send an email with your location, phone number and where our heading and how many passengers you have onboard?

that wouldn't work unless everyone checked their email at least once an hour

How about a TDO database of members business phone numbers AND location that a member could look up for suitable emergency cover

how will you look up if you break down?...

you come back to either a print out or looking online, for which you need internet access

is there a RSS feed for TDO? tapatalk?

I'm not convinced that everyone would want their details on an open list, but TDO does have a massive database.

I think however google is a better place to go should a member need help to cover work.

thats why i suggested the email system, no names needed, can TDO send a bulk email to all members?

its not rocket science

Sending bulk emails resulted in most members leaving another forum that I used to be on.

only those who select "send me email alerts for this thread/topic" would get them, it need only be a particular thread post...

no-one need opt out, just in if willing to help

It still raises the point though since only a handful of members check the site regularly the same probably applies to emails the result would probably be a reply 24 hours later the only way to get a fast response is by tellephoning someone near to your location

er, no

an email can go out without any website intervention

email IN, email OUT....

try it

set up email alerts on your posts, watch your phone (assuming you get emails onto it)

Would TDO be accused of '' making the provision for the invitation or acceptance of bookings for a private hire vehicle"?

We wouldn't want that. [-X
