I think the pm spammer has well and truly gone angelic... at least, his posts have vamooshed, so I guess us bombarding abuse/spam has done as we wanted it to.

Yaaaay!!... :j

Good evening Nicca, how are you tonight?..

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 such a comment made on any thread you post, asking for help and advice, please realise this comment is not directed at you personally so please ignore these nasty comments and continue to post here as normal because the majority of us really are a lovely bunch – ooops, modesty!

What should I do if I get a comment made on my thread?
Firstly do not respond to the comment as this is invariably what the troll wants. So to get rid of the offending post, at the bottom of the post towards the right hand side you’ll see a red "Warning" triangle within a blue “Abuse” icon, as shown below:

Click the icon and then "send" the message which will inform the abuse team of the post, who will then review its content and deal with it as appropriate; sometimes even deleting the troll by making their status PPR’d (Posting Privileges Removed). Remember, this site is an asset to so many people, especially those that feels like their world is falling in around them. There is a wealth of knowledgeable people here all willing to help, whatever you do, do not let the comments of one silly individual deter you from availing yourself of the knowledge base that is on offer here.

PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE THE FORUM

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 their debt crisis


PLEASE DO NOT LET THE ACTIONS OF THE MINORITY RUIN THAT

You don't know how good it feels to post the Troll Warning again.

Good Evening All, Handy has just this minute joined you for a Nightcap.
Raise you Glasses please in memory of MIL, who sadly passed away this evening.

I have just raised an actual glass of Malt ( handy's first since Sunday), and It helps.

My thanks to you all for your kind messages, Much appreciated by the family.

Sincere regards to you all, handy.

My glass is raised Handy. Your MIL sounded as though she was one of life's characters, hopefully she had a good life and enjoyed it to the full. Hugs for you, and particularly for Mrs H, she's been through a lot in the last few months.

Thinking about you all.

I now have piccie's of the doggily wogs on the computer... but for some reason I can't upload them onto MSE... :mad:

Numpty... what am I doing wrong!? Never figured it out on Windows 7! And I've had it for almost a year now!!!!

I used to have Picassa for photos but deleted it when I couldn't work out the privacy settings and you could access my photos via google. :eek::eek::eek:

Since then, I've kinda misplaced any computer savvy I may have had lurking in the far reaches of my dulling brain.

Spoony - toots (the 'ckle puppy) is doing much better - and her bald patches are growing over! They think now that she must have had an infection that went straight for the joints of the bones. But she's back to her normal mischievous self. :j

Hi Angelicmary,

Geebee gets a bit confused sometime regarding the Alcoholics Anonymous thing. We're actually in a very refined club called the winetasters:D. It means we taste as much wine as we possibly can and enjoy every single drop;)

Like i said.... Alcoholics Anonymous!

And Geebee only gets confused when you feed her OOD Horlicks and dodgey Pills!!.. :rotfl:

You've got it wrong Geebee, winetasters anonymous, nothing alcoholic about that!!!!!:rotfl::rotfl: and we're extremely refined, no drinking out of the bottle for us:D:D

You may have to upload them to photobucket, then all you do is click on the one you want, then copy it to here.. easy peasy.

Glad puppy is doing better now.

Hi Nicca:wave:
Great news about toots, really pleased to hear that:j:j:j and waiting patiently for some photos, let's hope Numpty can sort your poota problems out.

Crikey, I'm a slow typist... I missed lots of posts in that short time...

Handy, I am also raising a glass to you MiL and family. May the memories always bring a smile to your face. My thought s are with you and your family. Take care.

Geebee - I'm grand. I've had a lazy night and enjoyed doing absolutely nothing!! Woohoo - if only it could continue!

And hello Spoony! I'm trying to figure out my NSDs. I think tomorrow might need to be cleaning, redoing budget, ebaying and generally working harder than this evening (unless friend's baby is less sniffly, then I'll abandon all of the above in favour of visiting an extremely shattered mummy!)
