Thank you Michelle.
Always good to see your friendly posts.
You are probably right, work and time zones are certainly things that infringe on my game time.
Hope you continue to enjoy the game & forum.
The Pathway is the manual way to finding a topic and useful if the direct link (underlined) does not work or is unable to be posted.
Manual Pathway explained.
By clicking on Community (Top menu bar) and then Forum from the drop down menu… you automatically go to Forums Home page. The pathway looks like this: Home » Forums and shows Forums Home page and Topic sections.
The “Topics” is no longer available. ( “Topics” does not show at this stage in the Pathway.
(You have to do the next 2 steps by opening up the Section to show the topics and then on the topic you want.)
So… From the Home page, look for the section entitled “Forum News”
Like this Home » Forums » Forum News
Then Look for the title of the topic – “New PM addition to Forum.” Click on the topic to open up.
It will now show the “Topics” in the Pathway. This no longer shows.
Like so Home » Topics » Forum News » New PM addition to Forum. Go to last page of topic to post.
Pathways are written to Show the path you follow – Home is Achat, >> Go to.. Forum News is name of section, >> Go to… New PM addition to Forum is title of topic.
Links are great when they work and are usually underlined. They will take you directly to the page you want.
Unfortunately some posts are restricted in links and pics being posted together in the same post.
Also some links are more dominant than others and can over-ride the page you want.
When this happens, the only option is to post the manual pathway which is found above the title of the topic, as shown in the pic above.
HERE IS THE FORUM PM INFORMATION: Home » Topics » Forum News » New PM addition to Forum.
2. Once in the game, Click on an Avatar (Meeting Room) or a Profile (Lobby) as though to gift, but do not gift. Click on Add A$
It will then open this web page for you.
Forum is on the top menu bar, under “Community” as shown above. Click on Community for the drop down menu and then Forum. It will take you to this page.
Then log in to Forum as described earlier in this topic. (Note.. On this occasion you are automatically logged into the Shop ready to buy the A$. See the Lime Green text, top right)
Don’t forget to Book Mark it so your Browser can remember it then… but only if its safe 😛
Sorry took me so long to find my way here… not like ya needed my approval, blessing or help but do want to give ya my CONGRATZ.
Everyone has their own vision and certainly never goona please everyone… but this Forum dweller approves. 😊 Your heart fully invested… you care. Wish Achat cared half as much and invested a tiny fraction of the time you do. But you’re pretty much on your own… your only support the members. I wish you good luck.
AND while here… Congratulations to you and BWR on your recent 3rd anniversary. May you both never forget or take for granted that which you feel now. Wishing you make it to your forever. 😉
Hey Kait, good to see you visiting again.
I hope Andrea is tempted back too. Hugs to you both.
Thank you for your supportive note. It’s always nice to hear from an experienced Forum user that the tidy up is appreciated.
It is nearly done now… Yippee Ki Yay
I have asked members for ideas on improvements or changes they wanted to see in Forum and within my “power” to do but nothing has been suggested so far.
I have no idea what visions members might have or not have as no one has contacted me to discuss or suggest anything they wanted.
I have therefore, carried on with things I thought would be useful to see; to have; to make things more user friendly, and, to merge duplicate topics.
Some topics have been moved to better and more appropriate sections. Some have been merged because of duplication or archive reasons.
I have answered things in new and old topics, that I thought were relevant now as well as then, for new members, old members and to update Forum as I went along.
I have been careful not to delete topics so the history of Achat is maintained and members we have lost, still have their Achat legacy and written word enshrined for friends to visit any time and have their quiet moments. Those people are still precious to some.
One will always be close to my heart.
So thank you for your post and for your support.
And Thank you for our anniversary wishes. I’m glad I found a wench who puts up with me 😛 I’m a lucky man.
Any suggestions people may have on forum improvements… please post in the topic below… not this one. Thanks.

There is a new topic here to explain the new Forum for new joins and older members not familiar with this place. Topics » Posting rules » New Visitors – Welcome to our Achat Forum.
There is also info and guidelines on how to do things in forum so far… this is very much by member discovery, so if you find something out, please let us all know.
Please see earlier posts in this topic.
I have tried to simplify the organisation of topics in Achats Forum so members can make an educated guess where things might be or go and will probably be right.
All the couples and group poses have been indexed. These are stickied as below:
WOMAN WITH MAN IN ACHAT for MF Pose Reviews & Index.
MAN WITH MAN IN ACHAT for MM Pose Reviews & Index
WOMAN WITH WOMAN IN ACHAT for FF Pose Reviews & Index
SHEMALES & THEIR LOVERS IN ACHAT for all S Pose Reviews & Indexes
GROUP PLAY IN ACHAT for all Group sex Pose Reviews & Indexes.
All the poses have their own topics for reviews and opinions. Each shows a pic, lists the price and where to find it in the Achat Mall.
REQUEST A request has gone out to all members to complete pose reviews for the information of our members, Achat & our pose creators. This is stickied in “Forum News.”
These will be useful to members when buying poses and hopefully answer any questions that may arise about a particular pose. See Forum News for below… Topics » Forum New » Volunteers required for Pose Reviews
JessiCapri & I have completed an extensive and in-depth pose study on the poses available and the disparities between the different orientations.
A topic – Forum News » Pose Availability Study ~ Disparities Between the Sexual Orientations – has been opened and is an ongoing process to keep it updated.
Members can see the differences in the poses available for different groups and couples, themselves now from the spreadsheets provided.
This is stickied in “Forum News.”
From this information, I have asked Achat to seriously consider creating the more popular foreplay and gentle poses that our members use often so all couples have them. Hopefully this will improve their customer database and make Achat a more enjoyable experience for all.
I have opened a topic to encourage, pester and poke Achat into creating more LBGT poses. Please join the cause. Working together can and will make a difference.
See here.. Topics » Polls » Wishes for 2022. Poses to improve the Achat Experience and Support LBGT Members.
The last pose for each couple mix and each group mix is stickied in the appropriate section so the last pose update and release date can easily be seen and found for each.
General or mixed pose ideas for the game suggested by members will remain in “Share your creative ideas”
Those that are gender or group specific will stay or be placed in the relevant section of forum EG “MM Gay Missionary Pose suggestion” will go in the “Man with Man in Achat” section.
This is so ideas, suggestions and information can be found more easily to a specific group or genre.
I have provided a mix of the best MF Pose buys for an “MF starter pack” for new-joins and the initial A$1,000 they are given to play the game. This is stickied in the MF “Woman with man in Achat.” section.
Topics » Woman with man in Achat » MF Pose Own Starter Pack Considerations for New Members.
REQUEST: Perhaps other genres could do something similar to assist members.
I have opened a topic – “News Windows in Game” – to keep members informed of the new updates and when released and a point of easy reference. “Upgrades and newly added features » News Windows in Game.”
This topic is for info only and any reviews and opinions carried out in separate topics:
For Pose Reviews see section and topics as explained earlier.
For Clothes and Outfit reviews see here please: Upgrades and newly added features » New added clothes to shop. Post pics & reviews to help our members.
REQUEST We need members to carry out reviews for clothes and accessories in the above topic if you own already or buy and are willing to post your opinion for other members to consider when they go shopping.
This topic is stickied to the front page of Upgrades and newly added features section.
I have asked Achat to identify the sections of Forum with more clarity so members can find the correct section or make an educated guess when creating new topics or looking for topics. See above list for section descriptions.
I have asked Achat to return the forum tools to make posting pics and bolding texts easier.
To date, I have not received answers but they are extremely busy with the new Game updates.
Three designers have opened new topics in Artists Alley so far to show off their amazing poses and clothes designs and I hope this expands to others who can showcase their work and talent.
See here:
Designs by morkovxxx – Topics » Artist’s Alley » Morkovxxx Clothes.
Designs by joehot’s Topics » Artist’s Alley » Joehot’s Clothes/Outfits
Designs by bree90 Topics » Artist’s Alley » BreeStyle – fashion, luxury and erotic
I’m hoping more creators and designers will follow suit and create a topic to showcase their work too.
The Polls Section will include Polls if or when allowed again in forum but now also include “Discussion” topics and threads.
I am also encouraging the “Introduce Yourself” section will develop into members personal, walls, blogs and diaries, where they can post pics of their Achat play and interests. Some are already there and members names shown in the topic heading for easy reference and finding.
The “Got any problem running Achat” and The “Slip of the Pen (Report Bugs)” sections seemed to cross over quite a lot. This will most likely continue to happen.
The “Got any problem running Achat” section has been organised to reflect issues connecting, loading and actually playing the Achat game difficult.
The “Slip of the Pen (Report Bugs)” section has been organised to reflect bug and glitch issues which are a nuisance, or funny, or irritating and that needs correcting ASAP, either with other members help and ideas or with an Achat intervention.
The Quizz, Fav TV, Fav Music, Fav Films, Books… section has been made more orderly.
Forum Games have been identified in topic headings, so people can find and play more easily and for new members to practice their forum posting.
The same has been done for the Music topics. People can post their YouTube songs and find the appropriate topic much easier. Please be aware when posting music, to include the name of the artist and song. This is because different countries have different licensing certificates that they pay for to broadcast music. What may be visible to you, may not be visible in another country. If you post the the name and song with your link, those interested can search for a version allowed in their own country if need be.
Some personal old topics, not posted in for awhile, have been moved or merged into Member Walls topics located in “Introduce Yourself”
This is so the essence or personality of that person is not lost and can be found easily if anyone wishes to visit and reflect.
In some cases, where people have left and decide to come back, the topic can be reinstated as a personal wall should that person ever wish to return to our forum.
Where members speak a foreign language in their posts, (apologies in advance,) I have used Google translator to understand and answer any queries.
This is the tool I tend to use to try and help as I do not speak any other language.
I have asked members for ideas on improvements or changes they wanted to see in Forum and within my limited “power” to do so as Moderator.
A few small things have been suggested and implemented.
Bigger ideas, that I cannot do, have been passed on to Achat for consideration.
I have implemented things I thought would be useful to see; to have and to make things more user friendly.
Some topics have been moved to more appropriate sections. Some have been merged because of duplication or archive reasons.
I have answered things in new and old topics, that I thought were relevant now as well as then, for new members, old members and to update Forum as I went along.
I have been careful not to delete topics so the history of Achat is maintained and members we have lost, still have their Achat legacy and written word enshrined for friends to visit any time and have their quiet moments. Those people are still precious to some.
One will always be close to my heart.
Some topics are created annually such as New Year ; Valentines ; Mothers Day etc… If the relevant topic is not used by a member, their topic will eventually be archived in the appropriate topic with 1 in the title. EG Happy New Year To ALL 1 ; Remembrance Day and Veterans Day 1 etc…
Some topics are created as a one off EG a celebrity RIP or Birthday wish. If the relevant topic is not used by a member, their topic will eventually be archived in the appropriate topic. EG Obituary Thread. RIP. or Happy birthday to the Stars and Celebrities or Regards, wishes and little messages or even a personal wall in Introduce Yourself
I hope people are pleased with the Grand Tidy Up Jan 2022 and will be encouraged to join and post and enjoy “the other side” of Achat.
(The name Grand Tidy Up Jan 2022 is actually an understatement as it has taken months and months and many hours long work, not just in Jan 2022)
Achats Forum can be fun, informative and enjoyed, especially in the quieter moments of the game.
There are some wonderful stories and poems written by members, terrific porn topics, fun games and much more if you take the time to look and learn your way around.
It is a great way to make new friends and to meet members you may not have considered previously.
I hope members take the time to achieve becoming an active member of forum.
Any suggestions people may have on forum improvements… please post here or let me know in PM. Topics » Forum News » Forum Announcement & Ideas for Improving Forum.
Hi Vaughan, your topic and all the work you do in the forum is really great and valuable.
However, it would also be nice to have answers from the support on some requests for improvement of both a technical and playful nature.
Unfortunately, I sent support a list of tips and requests for improving the game but never received a reply.
I don’t think requests are difficult to fulfill but it would certainly be nice to answer a question.
Achat is renowned for not always answering their customers straight away, myself included.
They have been extremely busy with the Big awaited update so just keep sending in repeat requests every two weeks till they answer.
I hope once the update is complete, they will take steps to improve their Customer Service.
You know when you want to edit one of your own posts and you get a notification at the bottom saying who edited it and the time, well you can turn that option off.
Now I’m going to try it, hang on a sec.
Ok. I’ve edited it just, changed a few things and added this line.
So when you edit, you’ll see a tick box in blue and it says “Keep a log of this edit.” Uncheck it and then Submit. No edit notifications come up.
See, this is the third edit of this post. You just have to remember to uncheck it every time you edit. No more unsightly edit notes on the bottom of your post.
Thanks for letting us know Zuz. That will stop lots of edit lists under posts.
Another tip for topic creators… some characters or symbols like “&” etc.. are not recognised in topic titles.
You have to write in full using letters or numbers and so if you get this sign below, just check your title and replace the “symbols” with letter, numbers or leave them out.
It should work then.
I believe this may also show if you try to post more than 1 link per post. So take out the links or pics so only 1 remain.
