Has anyone any idea if the Italian Poste has the equivalent of a bankers draft and if so, are there are any limits on the amount and what is the cost...?
We are unsure about moving articles over there as opposed to buying when we get there, but know it will likely cost more to buy over there and be more hassle. So we want to get an idea of the cost of moving some of our stuff out there?
To put it simply, it would seem to me they don’t have the knowledge to “fix” it and/or perhaps the inclination? Unfortunately for them I doubt they realise that the lack of activity in posting does not necessarily equate to how much business people reading the forum brings to them. But then again perhaps their business is in trouble? It is simple to stop new members posting links by number of posts and/or by time (the better option). Not many spammers will bother when these rules are in place. Other forums I’m a member of have this and other methods of stopping ALL spam e.g. moderator members who police spam.
Great place to be, especially if you are not looking for work, but I'm guessing you know that. If you have not already done so, search "forum Italy" and "forum Lucca". Although most activity at the moment may be Facebook, that could change, so do both. Facebook might be a little harder, but a search "Lucca Facebook" I'm sure will bring up leads.
Yep, simple solution (as I said before) is to stop new members posting with links before "x" number of posts.... Even a time limit before posting links would cut down the problems.

I just highlighted Ugo's link text , right click and opened link in new tab in Firefox and the link worked fine....
Thank you Ugo for all your help to us in the past and hopefully the future.
I would look at what Ugo has, he has provided many here with good advice over many a year...
" Thanks. That story sounds familiar. Almost all the telcoms companies in the UK are like that :) "
No they are not and you have not encountered anything like you will in Italy should you take on a contract. Not saying you should not, but watch out!

Great result!

Very best of luck.
It will be either the browser you are using or the settings as I used your link in Firefox (pop-up not allowed) and it worked fine for me.
