Notice to newcomers - part 5

Tixy

Thanks for the tasty link - I shall try making them, although maybe after Thursday (scales day:o)

To put in a clever link
1) open the page you want to link to and highlight the http address at the top of the page
2) press ctrl + c (or right click and select copy)
3) start your reply wherever you want to put a link. Type the words you want to use as a link (such as 'weetabix brownies') and highlight them
4) click on this globe icon at the top of the message reply box. A link box opens and then in the URL box paste the address by ctrl + v (or right click and paste)

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 right 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

Or find the link you want, and "right click" it and "copy link location".

Go to the posting box and type the text you want for the link.

Highlight the text you have just typed, and click the "insert link" button. ---->

Paste the link into the pop up text box and click "OK"

I am still confused...it is way too technical for me..heck I can't do double quotes either:rolleyes:

Fermi me old china...there is a thread on DFW called Tips for setting up a business, shouldnt this be on the small biz charity forum?

Ooh..the meter man is coming to read my meter tomorrow - I am unable to see the numbers on the meter as they are so small so scottish power now send a man out to read it rather than estimate the bill:j

A wet and windy afternoon up here today - thank goodness I'm not back in Cambridgeshire with my peat fires and my webbed feet, eh, Horace?

Will definitely have a go at the Weetabix brownies.
