    Agree with the comments about the Abuse button. While it's a good idea to clarify what the triangle means for newbies, it's far too easy for regular members to click it instead of Thanks or Quote.

    Just put in my diary for tomorrow night: 00:00 - go put the kettle on, go to the loo and put the budgies to bed. That should cover the 10 minutes of utter desolation.

    :p

    Can I just say to all these people that keep clicking abuse instead of thanks - open your eyes a bit more ;) Hehehe i'm just kidding :D It doesn't actually bother me though. :)

    Actually I just pressed ctrl and F5 and now instead of being a little triangle it's daft big button so I can see how people make the mistake, let you all off :D

    I keep hitting it as well, please can it be moved, xxx
    My light may be on, but that doesn't always mean I am looking at the PC - I am far more likely to be cuddling or feeding Tianna atm, so please don't think I am ignoring you if I don't reply quickly :)

    Our Precious Baby Tianna has now joined our Family, she is much loved and very welcome, xxx
