    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


    Hello and welcome to all with good intentions. Trolls and spammers are not welcome on DFW. To any newcomers, please have a quick read of the message above. Please do not be put off by the trolls, if you need help there are plenty of people who will offer advice and support.

    And if you are bored, feel welcome to BUMP this thread back to the top.

    Good Morning All.

    Swanfan - excellent news about the weather, I like a good storm providing its warm the rest of the time.

    3dogs, love the new avi, Numpty is meant to be my friend but won't sort me out a moving paddington (he seems to think paddington never moves!)

    Have a good day all :)

    Just been catching up - seems a bit slow this morning I've been waiting for ages for the page to load:o

    Marleyboy - sorry to hear about your little baby. He sounds like a real fighter so I hope all goes well for him. Enjoy Peter Kay and your holiday, you deserve it.;)

    Nicca - Glad to hear you're feeling better, maybe it was like you said, because of the clearing out you have been doing.

    3Dogs - Love the new avi - good luck at the auction

    A quiet night for NID last night and a well deserved trip to the pub today, have one for me NID:beer:

    Handyman - I sooo love your stories, I think they are absolutely brilliant - keep them coming:)

    To everyone else, have a great day in the sunshine:j

    Thanks for mentioning that I thought it was just mine! And I can't go complaining to our IT engineers as they'd have asked which sites I was having problems with (and of course I'm not on here!)

    I can't find one!! But I'm sure he should move, best I found was an old clip from the tv programme but I don't think that is usable for an avi (and it was 5mins long or something).

    I had a marmalade yoghurt yesterday, paddington would approve!

    Hi Tixy - hehe - it's more fun when you know you're doing something you're not supposed to be;) but it has been very slow this morning.
