    Hope no one thinks I’m being rude but does this help my step by step how to post the troll warning?? :think:

    We try to get the Troll warning on the first of every new page if you can’t no worries the next post is ok. There are 20 posts per page so the next new page will start 1461 then 1481, 1501 etc

    How to post the troll warning:-

    1. Press the quote button on the last troll warning.

    2. Erase the previous person’s quote details at the top of the message:-

    quote1.jpg


    3. Erase the end quote too:-

    Quote2.jpg


    4. And then press submit reply, if your not sure press the preview button first and see what it looks like :D

    Hope this helps

    that's great IF, thanks for that.

    my settings are different, I have more posts in one page, so can't always tell when we are on a new page, but your explanation helps.

    :) Evening all!

    Must be summat up with my work computer, everything seems to be ok on here at home. The forum pages were all skew-whiffy. :eek:

    Well the weekend is here, hubby's up early for work tomorrow and has to drive to Leeds early in the morning so the wine tonight is all mine and I will be having a lie in the morning as he'll have to feed the cats when he gets up so they won't disturb me :D.

    Enjoy your evening xxx

    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:
    report.gif

    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
