Thanks for letting us know, we don't know about a lot of these problems unless we're told, and I'm sorry for any inconvenience caused


Please could you try and answer any of these:

Where do you mean exactly when you say the main forum?

Do you know what time it was? Roughly?

What happens when you try and post?

Do you get an error message?

How are you trying to post? Are you clicking the reply button or are you filling in the box at the bottom of the page?

Are you pressing post message and nothing happens?

Are there no buttons that allow you to post?

Is the word special-ised (without the -) in your post?


The more details the better then I can get someone to look into it


Once again thanks and sorry

c i a l i s is a cheap alternative to viagra and a mainstay of spambots who target forums like this one.

The first line of defence is that you have to be registered to post, the second line is antispam software that blocks posts that it thinks will be spam.

Unfortunately like the infamous Scunthorpe council email filter, there can be side-effects.

Sorry, that was my fault. Because there were so many people posting the message "bump" to bump their messages up the list and I have a dislike of messages without content in that section I put a ban on the word "bump" last week and forgot to tell people, especially the moderators. Your message had the word "bumper" in it so it was being disallowed. I have lifted the ban so you can post the message now, sorry for the inconvenience and I will just return to deleting messages the just say "bump".

Some of the new posts I tried to post might have said something like "I'm bumping this thread because ....." eg it's on soon or whatever.


But I don't think they all did.


And that wouldn't explain why I couldn't edit an existing post :-S


In one case I had to start a completely new thread as I couldn't add or change anything at all on the original one - and that obviously just clogs up the forum and causes confusion :-S

I get this every so often - and had it as recently as last week when I tried to bump somthing


I think I realised fairly quickly that it was the word "bump" which cause the problem - I re-worded the post and tried again, which worked first time


I would recommend that anyone with this problem reviews their post and looks for word which MIGHT contain something which may flag a filter. Admin said recently that he had included the word bump in the filter as so many people had used it unnecessarily which not everyone may have seen.. but the word stood out when I reviewed my own post.


At least if anyone posts from Scunthorpe and has problems we will know why

I am again having problems - I need to put an urgent post on the Hoopers folk night thread, as the timings have changed, and when I click on "post message" I get a page saying "we can't find the web page you are looking for".


The text is as follows - no obvious "bad words" :-S


Please note - there is a change in the timings for this evening as Bulgakov have asked that they sing at 8pm as they are now going down to Glastonbury straight afterwards.


So if you want to see Bulgakov, please be sure that you come down at 8pm.


Sorry for any inconvenience, which was out of the Goose's control :-S

    • I do not know how old you are, but if you are clearly an older person ( please forgive if not the case) I think what these kids did is even more despicable. It seems clear this is not just misguided hijinks.
    • Regarding the Ring doorbell have a look at the information on the Information Commissioner's website: https://ico.org.uk/for-the-public/home-cctv-systems/ There has also been at least one legal case regarding Ring doorbell and cctv cameras, Fairhurst v Woodard, link to a law firm article on the case: https://www.nelsonslaw.co.uk/ring-data-protection/ Regarding noise and shed issues, can you speak to someone in the Southwark Leaseholders' Team?
    • In answer to your question Pugwash, the variety of foods that they offer both in canned goods and fresh. i personally no longer am a Sainsbury customer after years - feel that the quality of both their fruit, veg and fresh products ie meat, chicken, fish is not of a quality that they use to be. Agree with Sue that Co- Op does not make for a pleasant shopping experience.  On the subject of Waitrose not coming to ED - one can only assume that market research has been done by the company which makes it a non starter which, when you think about it is strange as all the big contenders are here.. Perhaps the powers to be have never heard of ED!! Maybe a Lidl or Aldi will rear their heads but somehow can’t see it as space is way to small. Really is strange that Waitrose is a non arrival - never ceases to amaze me how many eateries are in Lordship Lane alone and the majority all survive.
