    think I will do the same now...seems to be more new threads than ever
    The problem is, it means that all the airline threads that people need to read and post on are dropping off the first page now

    On a side issue, you are not allowed to 'bump' these posts, I was directed to the forum rules today,
    • Can we "bump" threads?
      For those that don't know, "bumping" is where a forum user who hasn't received a reply to a question comes back and replies on the thread to "bump" the thread back to the first page of the board it's on, making it more prominent.
      No, we'd rather people don't do this as it annoys others. Questions are sometimes not answered because the information is easily found elsewhere on the site and forum. If your question's not been answered try searching the MoneySavingExpert.com main site then the forum.

    So I take that to mean, that posts are best left unanswered if there's a dedicated airline thread, but we can't bump that, because of the forum rules, that's how I interpret them anyway, I'm sure the forum Moderation team will clarify.

    We bump to het rid of the newbie idiots/lazy/ignorant people. To achieve the opposite of the usual bump intention!
    However I give up full stop. All ignored unless on correct thread. I don't even read it.

    Just had clarification on why we can't link to this thread, it's classed as 'personal abuse'. however, I can't disclose the contents of the PM from the ForumTeam 5 because that is also against the rules....

    ho hum, I'll have to stop abusing other members..... lesson learnt.

    EDIT ~ I have emailed them for further clarification though

    EDIT ~ Had clarification from the Mod team that the forum value me as a member, but I have to remember that forum users don't always read the 'thread of suggestions' and that my post linking to this thread was 'slightly brash'
    Well thanks for the guidance Modteam5, don't worry I won't be linking to this thread again.

    Where do I post for an airline named flybaboo, who are probably now defunct anyway. Had a cancelled flight with them a few years ago. Totally messed up the holiday.

    Nowt wrong with a bit of personal abuse;)
    I think the forum operation needs to get it's own house in order, and take steps to get the forum format effecient and user friendly to all.
