Long time lurker. finally decided to post as my brain is very confused. My situation is family friend really wants me to do his rewire but wants that mates rate. I'm thinking just full stop doing for family and friends as they seem to think its all for free or some dumb price. but at the same time i dont want to ruin relationships. what do you guys do in these situations?
 
thanks for replys again Andy ill call them up and send a quote and if they want others ill pm you.

snowhead not part of a scheme but have insurance under my dads company but they know that already

and remedial that's what im trying to avoid doing it too cheap beacuse then everyone will want that relative or family friend that does work for basically free.

I might from now go with davids way of doing it, free advice and only the most basic alterations.
thanks everyone for the suggestions
 
Ahh right, that’s a shame.. Be good to get a feel of who we’re talking to so our responses are appropriate to their knowledge base, etc
I've tried to bring it to the attention of @Dan quite a few times in threads but never got a reply. It makes it very difficult for regular members to discern how best to help new members.
 
Oh no, I've already fixed it. He must have registered in the week or so it was set like that for new members. It's the norm now to be fair but we have always had it more open so I set it back as soon as you lot pointed it out.

Those who signed up during that time will need to edit their options. As that's what they agreed to at the time so I can't really go open up people's profiles without individually contacting them all etc. And I don't have time for that.

Click your name and account settings and then show profile to members only or all visitors.

That's great, thanks for that Dan, should make it easier for regular members to glean info or persuade new members to fill in info.
