    :grouphug: - isnt it about time you set off home?:confused: Sorry to hear that your cute snugglyness has disappeared.

    Send some snow to us - it was lashing down with rain this morning and now the sun is out.

    Thank you Fermi - I had forgotten all about that, yes I did sign up for it but it seems like ages ago.

    Hi everybody.


    Over the last few weeks we have had a number of "troll" attacks on the boards.

    What is a Troll? A troll is a person that posts deliberately provocative, nasty or hurtful comments on threads. They may be a person with no previous connection to the board or someone that has created a pseudonym to get their point made.

    If you should get a comment made on any thread you post asking for help and advice please realise this comment is not directed at you personally.
    We really are all a lovely bunch here (oops, modest, sorry) so please ignore these nasty comments and continue to post here as normal.

    what should i do if i get a comment made on my thread?

    firstly do not respond to the comment as this invariably is what the person wants. At the bottom of the post, on the left hand side is a red "warning" triangle. Click this and then "send" the message that comes up. This will report the message to abuse who will review it's content and delete it.

    The person we had this morning was particularly vile and nasty and please believe me is an extreme rarity here.
    Above all PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE THE BOARDS. THIS SITE IS AN ASSET TO SO MANY, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT FEELS THE WORLD IS FALLING IN ON YOU. THERE IS SUCH A WEALTH OF ADVICE HERE TO BE HAD THAT THE COMMENTS OF ONE MUST NOT DETER YOU FROM AVAILING YOURSELF OF THE KNOWLEDGE HERE!!!!

    It is testament to the work that martin has done and continues to do that so many people give their time knowledge and experience freely to others, without judgement, to lift people out of the depths of debt crisis

    PLEASE DO NOT LET THE ACTIONS OF THE MINORITY RUIN THAT.


    Kind wishes
    P


    more star jumps Numpty & :coffee: :grouphug: to heal your broken snugglyness

    Hi-ho folks

    Just catching up on the 'recommend' button stuff - as usual I didn't know about it :rolleyes:. No snow here, but had a haircut and my now eariwigs are feeling the cold.

    Nomad, Numpty & Co - if you want a recommend button now called a rate it button, please email MSE Andrea and volunteer your services.

    Now for cold eariwigs, I would recommend a woolly hat pulled down over the ears or a scarf wrapped around the ears so that it doesn't damage the new bouffant.

    For numpty - you need to get some handwarmers and stick them inside your welding gloves or even in your boots.
