    well someone's been bg'ing as a couple of my posts have been deleted since yesterday so they were either reported & removed or just removed,
    one was replying to a newbie who had posted they were going to post their comps & i'd replied with the 'sorry you're not allowed etc & forum rules about No Advertising Of Own Websites.
    bit strange why that should be deleted.

    I have just sent a Pm to MSE Debs & have explained we have one BG who is not receiving any PM's so no board merges on the competitions board are being done & the other BG through no fault of his own is really not well & can not do much at all

    I have asked if it's possible for another BG from a different board can come & help us as we really need help asap or make someone else a BG

    I don't know if this will do anything or if I will even get a reply, but I was unsure if Glad has been able to get help like Cornish Pasty did last week? And I was unsure if anyone at MSE towers even knew about Glad not being able to get pm's

    xxx

    I am receiving pm's and if I wasn't I'd be able to get in touch with the MSE team and sort it out, not even sure where this rumour has come from!!??
    Would you PM MSE Debs back and explain you've given her the wrong information before she starts looking into something that isn't happening!!

    Also I think it's a bad idea to expire dupes, send a pm to a BG to ask for a merge as usual and if the OP spots that thay have duped and can put DUPE in the title until it's merged all the better

    Cheers for clarifying the situation ,Glad.

    Given Glad's post maybe it's a good time to put this idea re expiring dupes to bed,as it were.
    Let's just carry on as we were & see how we go re any more BG's being added,if they are.MSE admin will guide us & sort it I'm sure.

    Thanks Glad

    Just to be clear we are to Pm re dupes as usual?

    Should pms be sent to any of the four BGs?
