Still in work, just about to head home so thought I would pop in to say hi as the internet still isn't working at home. Mr. BT man said it was all fixed but the modem says not. Will have to go and see what else I can do to make it work. Hit it with a hammer? Chuck it throught the window? Probably not but it will make me feel better:D:D

I find the threat of either hitting something with a hammer or the threat of throwing it out of the window suddenly makes it spring into life... it works every time with my pain of a printer:D

Aaaw shucks - thanks guys.

What did we do before we had the internet? You take it for granted when it is there and then when it isn't all hells let loose! Couldn't check the bank account so OH overspent massively and ended up having the card refused in the petrol station. How embarrassing - for him not me:D

Hello and Welcome

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
