I am new to this forum so what ever thread I got I replied in that according to my knowledge. the problem is that I just provided the extension which are used rather than providing the firefox extension. I dont know why…
'Discreet' Forum view?

A few other forums I view have this option and was wondering if…

Disgusted With The way Some Members Here Have treated Me.
I have given this long thought before posting this. As you know I am a regular poster on here. But this problem with the way a lot of the members here treat me has been going on for so long now. I have had enough of it and have decided to say something about it. It seems that on every thread and post I make a lot of you…

Random extra lines between paragraphs
Is anyone else finding that MSE has started inserting extra lines between paragraphs? One line between paragraphs turns into two and sometimes even three, apparently at random. It's very annoying to read and I have to edit pretty much every single post to remove them. *edit* This post is a perfect example. There should be…

Abbey Solicitors Manchester
Abbey Solicitors Manchester should be struck off. The initial meeting went so well that I could not believe how confident they were about my case. From the moment that I signed my legal aid papers and they got their money they just did not want to know me. They only want your money and do not care in the slightest about…
