That bloody Bridge club. They've been over here. Killed the Pope as well.


I know that a few kids use the forum for everything. One well known lady poster with several usernames (;-)) seems to have a pathological aversion to Facebook and email, but finds comfort and solace in PMs.


It doesn't work well - tables like that cripple the forum.


With all respect, not due but willing, I think the forum is verging on a new incarnation with different software. We can still make it look the same.


24,000 users in one day? Phorum doesn't do that.


With the skills of an adept in proposing anathema, I now take that all back. Just floating it like.

I think you should put it back to 300. I am sorry, but that is more than enough for anyone, and I don't see why the forum should have to be slower for everyone just because a few people don't delete their messages. How about a sticky thread to announce you're going to do it, so that people can't complain that they had no warning (as it would seem that by giving the community a great free resource, you've become answerable to EVERYONE).

Thanks admin.


I'd be happy with 300 in the longer term if that would speed up the forum, but it would be great if we could have quite a bit of warning beforehand.


Of course in theory it doesn't take much effort to delete past PMs, in practice there are often more pressing things in life :)

Please don't take this personally, but surely it is up to you how you wish to prioritise your time. Why should everyone else have to put up with a slower forum, until you decide that you can spare half hour to clean up your inbox?


Not meaning to be mean, but that would be my opinion on it.

Well yes, actually that does sound mean, given the whole of the previous discussion on the thread.

Oooh you should see my footie ladies when they get into a pm conversation....easily can surpas 150 pms in a day lol.


Seriously though....any limit that admin deems necessary is fine. People just need a warning period so that those who haven't been keeping on top of their inboxes can adjust.

Crikey, you've obviously got time to spare as well then.


I've been on the forum for at least three years, I'm now retired, and I was also ill for a long time last year, so yes I have had time to post a lot.


Which still doesn't mean, given all the other things I have going on, that sorting out PMs has in the past been anywhere near top of my list of priorities :))

    • I wouldn't undervalue your expertise Bob.  When I occasionally have professionals around they always thank me for advice and don't mind the work taking twice the time.  One offered to treat me with an old fashioned sixpence to go to the flicks and go away.  Although even the Plex isn't that cheap.
    • St Christopher's on LL I'd list them for free as well on this website.
    • I've got noisy neighbours.  Some are always cutting wood and metal over the weekend and into the summer evenings using mitre saws, angle grinders and the like.  Breaking up concrete with Kangos.  Getting concrete poured or skips changed at 7 in the morning. And then there are those to lazy (they say they are busy) to cut their lawns and hedges cut, so rather than using quieter electric mowers etc the professional do it with motor mowers and electric strimmers.  Then there are the BBQs and outdoor parties, with the loud music and conversations, or the kids' parties the worst culprit has a pool so in warm weather kids swarm round there.  There are noise controls for building work and big DIY projects, but many don't adhere to them.  So much for good neighbours.
    • I think the main issue was with the wind - sound waves are physical and will be blown around.
