Notice to newcomers - part 5

Tixy

Bumping from 3.

I think my mind needs mapping, I'm sure I know all sorts of things but can't find the index to locate the right things at the right time

Hi everyone

Tixy - I think you'll find that means your brain needs a clearout, too much information in there and the filing system clogs up. Ask me the lyrics to a song I last heard in 1977 - you'll get every word. As me what I did yesterday... hmmmm..........

Like the new avatar, Nargle, definitely surreal......

Numpty - if I find something suitable, could you do the same for me - I have no idea how to do that......

Something funny with the forum. I've read and thanked SS's post above but when I do onto the main DFW page its showing that the last post is mine at 11.59. And I've refreshed several times. Hmmm too confusing for me at this time of night. (a couple or 3 confused smileys would have been here!)

I'm off to bed and hopeful that things will have sorted themselves and back to normal tomorrow.

Edit - in fact all my forum main pages have stopped updating at 12.03am. But many of the threads have later posts (confused)

That's happened to me quite a few times as well Tixy... usually sorts itself out overnight

Aha, now I can see your avatars Cheers Numpty!
Slightly jealous. I want one but I don't know how. Though I think I should figure out multiple quotes before I jump headlong into avatar searching

Hi nicca

Multiple quotes - click the button to the right of the quote button on each thread you want to quote (it will go orange-y) then click on reply at the bottom. The posts should appear in your reply box - it only seems to take 3 for me though

Hope that helps

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

Morning everyone ...
