    Morning all,

    & thanks for the welcome back :D:A hangover kicked in about 4.30 this morning :o

    Am starting permanent new jobby next week so daytime bumps may well be a bit sporadic ... until I have converted all other staff to the wonderful ways of MSE ;).

    The word is that I need to buy myself a Mac ... I was up for the challenge until I realised how much they cost :eek:

    Have so much stuff to catch up on, will be back later ...

    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

    And here's one of these as it's another new page !!

    Welcome back Lula and hope the now permanent job is working out well.

    a lunchtime home made tomato soup and garlic bread bump from page 2......unfortunately my OH made the soup so, delicious as it is, I can't claim the credit for it. I will do a mean toad in the hole later, though.

    A couple of threads on the employment board (one of which already mentioned) are now getting a bit silly and !!!!!y in places. It's a shame when there are threads on there about really sad and unfair situations.

    Wasn't really swearing but perhaps I should have said "catty" instead.

    Afternoon all,
    Well you might not have been swearing Nargle, but MSE79 definitely was yesterday - think the post has been removed now though!! Totally out of order :confused:.

    Yeah, shame when people like that (was about to say "idiots" but thought better of it") jump in and take over......

    Numpty, oh dear, hope you get sorted soon

    Bye for now
