I have a query from a friend who has recently tried to join the forum.

Hernehiller - would like to join the forum, but is still waiting confirmation of the set up. He applied 2 weeks ago.

Could you look into this as he seems think it's because he's from Herne Hill area, which I'm sure isn't the case, and he would like to change from a lurker to a poster

Tell 'em I ain't got no problem with peeps from Herne Hill

User: hernehiller Status: Pending confirmation Confirmation email sent: 12/06/2007 04:30PM

They need to click on the link in the email sent by us to approve their account. Let me know if there is still a problem and I will reset their account, best to send an email to me using the link at the bottom of the page so I can deal with them directly.

Regards

Is it just me or have we lost the bold/italic/underline etc toolbar/functions since the latest update?

[Administrator]

Ooops, we forgot to update that bit.

It's back now, thanks for bringing it to our attention

[lindylou]

I sincerely hope my thread re single and over 50 didn't cause concern. I am new to this forum and merely hoped to start maybe a friendship coffee meeting or pub meeting. Many thanks.

[Administrator]

Do not worry, it did not cause concern, the forum is meant to be useful and fun for everyone. Good luck.

Is it me, or is this thread like,

Talking to God

Are you out there great Administrator? Please give us a word of wisdom - English, Spanish or even Gaelic - any word would be fine ......

Bless us oh Great ONE

You would think that if he was going to talk it would be on a Sunday.

Or is that his busiest day ;-)

[Administrator]

On this day I rest. With one eye open.

I'm having trouble posting on the "Should kids have TVs in their rooms" thread. Won't let me post. Any ideas please?

[Administrator]

Do you have the words special-ised/ism/ist in the text? this stops messgages being posted (see the first point on the FAQ page)

HI there

How do I post a photo of a drum kit on the thread about "drum kit needed"...I can't seem to figure it out.

thanks

[mockney piers]

Is the photo a file on your computer or a picture up on t'interweb?

[gerry]

Its on file on my computer

[mockney piers]

click the 'attach a file' above the posting text box and upload your photo (make sure it's below 614kb, so resize it if it's not.

Then if you want to also display it, once it's loaded, go to your post, click on the attachment and view the picture.

Copy the full address in the address bar http://eastdulwichforum/something.jpg

then go back and edit your post and click the insert image url button, copying in said full address.

This should do the trick.

[gerry]

Thank you so much, but don't take it personally if I can't do it!!! I will try.

I can't seem to post on the emenies of reason thread. I've just written a post, but when I click on Post Message nothing happened. I've tried a few times and refreshed in between, but it hasn't appeared. Will it come up three times in a minute?

Is this the earths energy working against me?

[mockney piers]

soci-alist, specia-lism etc?

anything with cia-lis in it will be blocked. Probably hardcoded into the software, a bit of a pain, but hyphenate yuor word in question and you should be ok

[Administrator]

Taken from our Help& FAQs page:

0.5) My message will not post, after pressing the post message button I just see my message again

Yes, this is weird one and we're working on it. If you message has the words special-ised, special-ist, special-ism in it (without the hyphens) then it gets rejected so please replace that word with something else, perhaps expert or expertise.

let me know if you still can't post after that

[annaj]

Weird.

I thought being a specia-list registrar in emergency medicine was only dirty on the conventional vomit-on-trousers way.

Will try again later with appropriate censorship!

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

"anything with cia-lis in it will be blocked"

Why? Is there some underground porn movement I'm missing out on?

[mockney piers]

It's not blocked by admin, it's built into the software, I'm guessing as a spam filter.

[Guest]

Is it possible to have an option to display messages in reverse date order, ie newest first?

[lorraineliyanage]

I've emailed a couple of times about placing an ad on the site, but haven't had a reply. Would be good if you could send me the advertising rates. thank you!

[Administrator]

Apologies about that, you were sent details 19/03/2007 11:48 but I will ask Mark to send you more up-to-date details.
