Putting together a TR is a major feat, may take anywhere from an hour or two to days, depending on the scale of the report.

As I am more of a AFF reader rather than FT reader, I have in the past just posted a link to my report on FT and AFF remains the "source" thread. If I were to duplicate a full thread post by post on FT and other forums, I could be up for long slog at the PC. I did this tonight on my new TR - and after reading this thread, I decided to recreate the thread on FT as it was on AFF - it took about 20 mins to ensure formatting etc was correct, and links etc worked.

To this end, I am against placing any restrictions on FT members linking to other sites/blogs. This forum is a travel resource, and if people are really interested - they will click the link. If they don't want to go to the outside site, they will continue no further. We should be encouraging everyone to contribute to this forum irrespective of how they choose to do so.
