    Sometimes I'm surprised newbies don't run a mile! I can't see it's such a big deal if someone posts in the Wrong Section? Just ignore the post, or leave it for the mods to remove.

    We're not all unfriendly mickeymad and we can still remember what it's like to be a newbie. Welcome, and you can be sure if there's any news about the sale, reliable or rumoured, then Grabbit will be red hot!

    Here here! I also think that if you have a q what is the point in posting in another forum, where you know that someone in the grabbit (or any other forum) will know the answer. I dont care if someone asks a grabbit q for grabbit experts! I just hate the spam and people selling there own stuff!!

    i think this shows that a lot of posters on the grabbit board dont look at any of the other shopping boards

    I dont!!
    I work full time and have to travel 19 miles a day to get to work, go to the gym for at least 6 hrs a week, have 3 kids - say no more!, I am taking exams but I still love my bargains, but I just dont have time to check all the forums.

    When someone asks the question it is usually very helpful to all to see the responses!

  • I think it will be mon 17th as it is usually 3 weeks after xmas day...

    doubt it will be a Monday somehow.

    I am quite prepared for Mr B to do something different.

    Having looked at their sale (and having compared it to my stash - you might be better queueing at my house on 75% sale day - that would please DH some boxes gone so he could see some wallpaper!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:) there's nothing in there I want. YET. :p

    Won't say NEED as that never comes into it. :o
  • I think the main problem here is that all these forum categories don't actually have a proper description:

    Grabbit, shop but dont drop, i wanna buy it do it. etc etc

    The forum is quite poorly set out in my opinion.
    'Shopping' should have its own section.
    Then each of these sub forums should have a proper clear description on each about what you are expected to post, etc.

    For example, the grabbit forum just has one message at the top which you need to click on to read (which no one notices) saying not to post codes etc.
    How is a new user supposed to notice this really?

    Its quite easy to snap at someone for posting something incorrectly.
    But isn't it the forums' fault for not being clear to new users?
    For example: the first time you post there could be a 'pop up' that says:

    'Before starting a new thread: Please check by doing a forum search that one similar hasnt already recently been started' , etc

    Ive been thinking this for too long and am surprised no-one else really brings it up.

    I agree. This forum is one of the most unorganised I have seen. It's a right mess!
  • Sometimes MSE can be very annoying cause some people can be very rude & so quick to jump on you if you make a mistake & its usually not worded very nice either from my experience it really does put you off posting on here as well :-(
  • I`m keeping my eye out for a front cover set the mermaid dreams one i`m hoping to get it for a good price i`m holding out as there was quite a few left in my boots i dont think they have been very popular ?
