    Is res p getting worse or about the same?

    Have managed to view house pic and floor plan online now. V attractive outside and I see what other posters mean about no wasted space inside. Well done PN. :T

    Not worse, abut the same.

    What happened to day is another thing that I have noticed increasingly, and this time I think. (But don' t know ) that doozer and plumber noticed too. We had a conversation about what was happening and what we could try and res p just didn't seem to realise what had happened two weeks ago nor be able to understand this as the conversation went along. For want of better explanation, its like he is becoming somewhat 'thick'. That seems quite different to what happened to my grandmother in truth, but maybe it was harder to tell or maybe it just confirms this isn't what we thought! . :o

    Add DH to insurance for 48 hours on father's car, LIR?

    Not an option sadly.

    Maybe if I drive tomorrow and have DH trapped in the car I can give him an hour and forty minutes to choose another car on his dongle? :D

    I don't think I have time for that either, I cannot do it tonight and will be too busy in the morning. Its definitely what we should have done.

    I think I might find out if mother used the odour eliminator I gave her.

    Well I searched and searched ... and did more searching ... couldn't find any evidence of a post by Spirit. So many are in there from spammers it also produces SQL errors when I try to delete those....
    Once I've moved in I'll get round to sorting out the forum..... honest.

    This reminds me, I searched and searched for text with address details from the same.....I think I must have accidentally deleted because I couldn't find it :o


    Could you resend spirit?

    I found you in the end. Spammers add about 2-3 posts every minute .... and I went through a whole raft of them disapproving, then found yours :)

    144,000 registered users..... which means 143,995 spammers registered and posting... which is why the bandwidth runs out at the end of each month.

    Banned about 20 while I was in, but that's not a workable solution as there are thousands of them!!

    Is there an option to ban every one then lock it, private it and let in just the " nicest " ?

    But what if one didn't make the cut :(

    Edit: Normally I find the other place via a google search but Google doesn't seem to know about it anymore and although I have found the main site (wasn't 2009 a good year) I can't find the forum :(

    Edit: Found it by typing the obvious :)
    I think....

    If it was a vbulletin forum you'd just delete everything, lock the main forum, and create one of those invisible forums that only certain categories of users can access (a private forum) and only give the real users posting rights in the forum. To upgrade a real person would have to PM you.
