    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
    A smile enriches those who receive without making poorer those who give

    Good Morning Folks

    Hope everyone is well.
    Hope you are doing okay boult - is the leg less painful with the pot on? Now don't you go doing too much - you need to be spending your time sitting down - do you have a good book you can read? or a sitting down sort of hobby?

    BUMP


    Can tell I keep going back to sleep,keep doing thing's backward's, no the leg still as painful,possable down to the fact that with resting my leg the swelling has gone down,a lot,to the extent I can get my handhalf way down the pot:eek:, and yes I'v got lot's of book's to read and also got knitting to finish off and I also do card crafting, so got some of those out of the way - good job I have,otherwise I'd be going stir crazy, bad enough that it's been a lovely wash day here, and I'v not been able to take advantage of it:mad:, seeing as OH is scared of the washer:rotfl:

    Oooh... tea and scones, yum!!:D:D

    Oh dear, boult, hopefully when the swelling goes down a bit more the pain might lessen as well. At least you've got some things to be getting on with, that's something.
