    Its been my experience of this site that some senior members are the worst trolls, ganging together to bully newbies to the site.

    If simply posting gains recognition through your star system it seems clear to me that one could so easily gain status without actually positively contributing to the site.

    Unfortunately I have to agree with you that some members are no better than trolls themselves, but I suppose that as in life in takes all sorts, and some boards seem to attract more trolls than others :(

    Fortunately by far the most of the members are really nice people who come on these forums just to help others :T

    Hello All :wave:

    Happy Sunday



    I had blackcurrant crumble If. Tasty. :j The blackcurrant bushes are laden down with fruit though, so maybe pie next time - if the blackbirds don't get them all first.

    By the end of this week all my debts will be on interest free deals aside from the overdraft (and the mortgage!) which should allow me to make a much better dent in them over the next year. Probably should have a few lean months trying to blitz the overdraft. I do like spending though :o

    Sounds fab the crumble Tixy :beer:

    Well done you, I love good news me x :A

    Hi madcat, I don't fully understand this Bandwidth thing either. Once or twice I went over with photo's I had uploaded. Some of them were in HD, 2 - 5 Meg in size. Now I edit them before uploading they are still the same size to look at put are only 200 - 600 k in size.

    Don't ask, I only use putors not make of fix them. Too technical for a geriatric. But I havent had a problem since I reduced the file size of everything I post.

    Hope this Helps. Regards, Handy.:D

    Yes your right I have gained my stars by mainly posting on here, bumping this thread and thanking others here that do the same.

    I have read some of your posts ( not all). I can see you are upset, but you have jumped down the throats of some of the posters who replied to you. If you don't like the advise you are given then be courteous and civil. No one here is an expert, all we can offer is our collective experience regarding what has happened to ourselves.

    Should you encounter some real Trolls, I would be among the first to press the abuse button. I hope you get some firm advice in your problem with your Landlord.

    For one you have my sympathy for what its worth, I live in an agricultural tied property. My landlord is my boss. I learned a long time ago, to put up or shut up with my lot. (not really you should here me moan on here :rotfl:)

    I hope you take this message in good faith, not as an attack, but as a friendly act of advice.

    Regards, Handyman.:D
