Morning folks.

Spoon the game I am playing today is on trying to book a travelodge sale room - sadly its a solo and annoying sort of game.

Managed to get through all the screens in the end, I don't think they'll have charged me for the first one which crashed as I hadn't got to the verified page, best check my bank account later I guess. Quite pleased in the end - a room for under £20 in London on a Friday night in the middle of summer. :j

Good news Tixy, glad you got there in the end:j:j:j


Don't think MSE likes me today, I've tried to log in a few times but couldn't:(

*madcat*

I had that problem earlier too, must be a few gremlins about today. We do get so impatient, don't we, when trying to get on to a website and through the various screens. If the screen we want is not there immediately, we huff and puff impatiently. Or at least I do, I really get wound up when a site seems to be playing silly beggars. And then I say to myself "Once upon a time, if I wanted to buy something from outside the town, I would have to write a letter, go to the post office, stick a stamp on the letter, post it, wait for them to receive it and post my order back to me, and this could take a few days. Now I can order and pay for stuff in seconds on t'internet. So stop getting wound up, Nargle you silly mare, and chill....."

Time for a BUMP

You are right Nargle but we are so used to living in an instant world now we forget that its all a relatively modern concept. I'm one of those people who gets very annoyed when I want to speak to someone and they won't answer their mobile.

There were some techy problems with MSE earlier today and yesterday - according to the feedback area.

A good evening all bump :hello:

You are so right, Nargle, very easy to forget that nowadays.

A long time ago Pania wrote the message below to Newcomers or anyone who comes across a troll on the forum.


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 “Report” icon, as shown below:

Click the icon and then "send" the message which will inform the MSE 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

Just borrowing Tixy.
