I now have a solution Google Website Forum Groups ......as suggested byXJWMX thank you XJWMX your suggestion was spot on and proved to be just the ticket .
Hope there is someone out there that can advise me about how best to go about putting a group of 7x residents in touch with each other on the net safely .
I wish to set up some sort of simple basic web forum so that 7x mostly elderly residents can discuss common issues about their Residents Association issues safely and securely possibly without needing complicated ID and password logins etc.
The residents association consists of the residents of 7x private properties on a private estate (of which I am one). I want to provide the means for us all to be able to message one another on the net and also distribute and store common information such as minutes of resident meetings, meeting dates, information that effects all residents etc .
Yes we could all do this by giving out all our email address but there are several very important reasons why this approach would not work.
Firstly some of the residents will probably be reluctant to give out their personal email addresses to all the other residents.
Secondly if personal email address books are shared there would be an extremely high risk of sharing trogans and viruses via address books .
Thirdly and perhaps most important of all there would be no guarantee that private messaging between certain residents would not occur that would exclude certain other residents and not everyone getting put in the picture so to speak. ..........Yes there are cliques amongst any group of people even neighbours
So what format would you suggest most appropriate ? A DIY website ? Facebook group? Google group? A free ready made forum website ? whatever it is it must be simple to use
