What's the point of this thread Admin if people just start a new thread to have their questions answered, like Laddy Muck? I'm not complaining but if I have a question it never seems to get answered.........

[Laddy Muck]

Admin, please feel free to delete my recent thread on Whatyamacallits. Apologies for any inconvenience caused.

Alan Medic...come to the EDF Drinks on Friday, I'll buy you a drink. Sounds as though you could do with one!!!!!

[Administrator]

The point of the thread is that people ask me questions on it and I answer them.

I usually just ignore yours.

[Laddy Muck]

Well that's told you Mr. Medic!

[Alan Medic]

Excellent Admin. I wondered what it would take to get a reply. Thank you. I just need to sort out my feelings about it now.

Ms.Muck, I'd rather be ignored any day than start a NEW thread for NO GOOD reason!

[Laddy Muck]

No you wouldn't...besides, it's pretty difficult to ignore you - being the pain in the backside that you are! (*inserts yellow-giggling-smiley-thingamijig*)

Anyway, what was your original question to Admin? I mean, all this fuss! Dear, oh dear, oh dear!

Oh, and it's "Laddy" to you!

[Alan Medic]

I've sorted my feelings out now Admin you'll be happy to know, no doubt. You ignore my questions 'cause they are too difficult and you don't know the answers. That will do me. I'll try easier questions in the future.

I seem to have lost my ' new ' indicators on the home page they appear on the section pages but not on the main home page .Tried the reset posts option but makes no difference.

[Administrator]

It's a feature I took off (when there was massive traffic on the site the other day) because it slows the site down, I'll put them back up soon but do give me a nudge if they're not back in a couple of weeks. If you're interested:

Thank you .

I've notice that quite a few of the rogue posts in the "about the forum" section should be in the "for sale" section. And tend to come from those people who are rather fond of SHOUTING ABOUT THEIR WARES IN CAPITALS

is it because this section is more open to spamming or are some people just very.... you know

I mean, few enough peolpe visit this section anyway - so why do the for sale crew do it so often?

Just curious... it's no biggie

[Otta]

Yeah I always wondered why anyone would put that sort of thread in this section.

[Administrator]

I don't know why, maybe it's because the neurological pathways for their sense-of-place and shouting faculties cross in their heads and become corrupted. Or maybe it is just because they are... you know.

[StraferJack]

one of "them" has just added two more ads in there - might be worth having a word

Hi Admin

What happen to the smile faces when posting?

[Administrator]

Sorry, I forgot to turn that module back on. They should be back now :)

[Ridgley]

Thanks

Hi Admin

Hope you can help. I have posted an update on the Dulwich community garden thread, I listed one of the sponsors and its not letting me add the sponsor. Why is this?

[Ted Max]

Seems a bit of an odd one.

[StraferJack]

Mon - I suspect the name of the sponsor contains a sequence of letters which could be misconstrued by the forum software as naughty

try adding the name in letters interspersed with hypens

eg

h-e-a-l-t-h m-a-t-t-e-r-s

[monica]

Lol staferjack funny. I think I may know whats happening, and if thats the case. I would like to see admin explain how a company who have donated their free time, energy and money to past and present community project be deemed as naughty.??? Admin could you please explain!! thank you

[StraferJack]

it's nothing to do with the company or a judgement on them Monica - it's just a possible sequence of letters in the name

i could be wrong, but it is what has stopped me and others posting before

The word "specialist" was a case in point - nothing wrong with the word but it contains c-i-a-l-i-s which spammers us heavily so was on a banned list for a while

[monica]

Thanks Straferjack, I have sorted it, however I have written a long pm to admin, because I am not happy at all. I use the forum a lot for community projects, and the forum serves SNUB really well, however on this subject, I am rather cross.(6)
