  • Oh Nilrem, you had me well taken in there - I was jumping for joy!!

    p.s. how do you guys do these quotey bits? When I press button "quote" it comes up with hieroglyphics and not a nice little box.

    Is it because - oooh I hardly dare ask this:eek: - I'm using firefox?

    Seems to work fine in FF3 :)

    Here's one reason why FSCS only get 6/10 from me. They dealt with the spam fiasco by contacting ISPs directly (good) but then why oh why didn't they resend all 1st emails? If I hadn't received a 1st email I would be much convinced that FSCS knew of my existence if I received an unsolicited email from them (rather than a reply from an autoresponder). I know Nilrem differs from me on this one, which is fine ;) ....
  • You could always just add [ quote ] [ /quote ] around any text - just remove the spaces after the [ and before the ]
  • Seems to work fine in FF3 :)

    ;)

    Aaah, am on Firefox 2. Will upgrade now!
    Thanks GentleGiant

    Edit: Hey - first time it's worked!!
    GentleGiant - you must be casting lucky spells? Can you cast a few more? :T
    Every rule has an exception.......:rolleyes2

    This has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with "loads on their servers" as millions of transactions take place daily across the major banks without a hitch, so why on earth can't FSCS manage to complete approx 200,000 transactions within a 24 hour period :rolleyes:

    No, this is all to do with money, and the fact they don't have all the money to pay out to us so are using stalling tactics and feeding us with lies :mad:

    I have a theory....They know who we are that's why we are not getting our second e-mails

    I work with large databases for a living and can assure you that 200,000 transactions is a piddly, widdly amount to deal with

    Wellllll ...... I wasn't going to mention this but I'm actually a secret mole working for FSCS and I've been harvesting all your IP numbers and matching them up to your accounts to make sure you're all last in the queue mwahahahaha :laugh:
