Ah yes, that’s something I can help with.

When you’re on Mobile, the category for the topic you’re currently reading is shown just below the search box. When you create a new topic however, you can choose the one you’re after.

Here’s one I made earlier!

Don’t worry if you create topics in the wrong place though, any of the Moderators will be happy to call a tow truck for you and move it to the right place.

Thank you!

I'm an expert on Facebook and Twitter so I'll soon get the hang of it.

Update: Since I posted a photo of my [color=#A08010]Storage battery[/color] installation earlier in this topic, there’s been a lot of progress to get the system commissioned.

I won’t bore you with the technical details, but suffice to say that everything’s now in hand…

Welcome to the forums @juliamc ! We're glad to have you with us.

Could you fill out your profile when you get chance? We often use the details in there to help with the advice we give to other members.

Granting access to the Treehouses is something that needs one of the Moderators to help out with, and they’re not usually around at the weekends. We’ll aim to get you sorted out on Monday though once the mods are back. In the meantime, please feel free to explore the forums.

We hope to see you in the Treehouse soon!

I’ve just had a Daikin heat pump and new rads installed so would be happy to chat in the private forum.

Hello Everyone,

We have just had our Daikin HP installed + 12 Radiators last week… Installation went well, the team from Northern Gas did an excellent job… House is nice and warm. Still trying to understand how to best use the system and could do with some advice on how to use the boost function….

looking forward to sharing our heat pump experience with you all…

Very nice to meet you both, @mrmojorisin04 @RAJ - and it’s great to hear your installations have been completed!

 

I’m going to be giving you both access to our private area for trialists in a few minutes, and I’ll tag you in the topic you’ll want to see first.

 

Please be aware that when I do this, you may be forced to log off. So any messages you’re halfway through writing might be lost….
