Hi Brum,


You really do misunderstand me - I was being quite quite serious. You should know that I have no problem with smut - I think many Carry On films are hilarious and I find Terry Thomas quite the thing. At times I positively embrace sexually explicit content (although the forum perhaps isn't quite the place for it). Just think the standard of smut on here is very dull, lacking both wit and any genuine sexual frisson. I rather thought that if there was a playroom for such threads, people could play away to their heart's content, without boring the rest of us. Still, I take Admin's point, and hope it won't be a triumph of optimism over experience.


And Admin, kudos on the chlamydia / orgy image - nearly wet my pants. Well I didn't, but I did laugh, and that's almost as good.

You're right Rosie, I really don't understand you or your motives... Maybe we should have another room, just for people who moan about how other people use the forum, which in my view is equally as boring! And when you say 'the rest of us', who do you mean? Forgive me, but I find your post disturbingly divisive.


So are you coming to the drinks? We can discuss our shared interest in smuttiness!

Meh, Brum - I make a lighthearted comment on the Ask Admin thread and you choose to dissect in this manner? (er, again) Frankly I'm staggered that you'd want to have a drink with someone who's disturbingly divisive. No idea what my plans are for Friday yet, but if I'm there I'll have a drink with you.


My only motive is the forum being a fun place to hang out. When I say the rest of us, I meant the people outside the little online menage a quatre / cinq. I speak for no one but myself, but I would ask, did you actually read Admin's post?

we would prefer it to be ignored and have to retreat from the forum


I've no interest in pitched battles.

Hi Rosie


I'm pleased you have no interest in pitched battles and neither do I. I also didn't say you were disturbingly divisive. It seems that both of us are guilty of not reading posts correctly! I was commenting on your post, and nothing more. I am a bit puzzled over your reference to a clique as this forum is open to all equally. I don't consider I am part of a clique, more that I have made friends on the forum and for that I am very content. I am also really happy to drink with you, because one thing I've found is that in the flesh we are sometimes a darn sight nicer to each other than on the forum!

Hi Admin,


There used to be a thread called East Dulwich Weddings. I was going to point a friend to it for information but I can't find it anymore. I posted on it about a month ago so I've searched through my own messages as well as using the Search facility. But it seems to have disappeared. Has it been deleted?

Hi Izodia


just to quote a message I posted before... "Last week we had a clean up of the forum database and posts in the wanted section over 6 months old were deleted. The database was 1.4Gb in size and now it's half that and the forum's running quicker. "


I have a feeling that if the weddings one was started more than 6 months ago it would have been deleted. Sorry about that.

  • 2 weeks later...

erm...karter...have you not been paying attention? As far as I understand the situation, ruffers appears to be aware of the buttons you mention...he would like to know if there is one single button for all sections (I think).


*thinks: Gawd - hope I've understood correctly*

Hi


Unfortunately there is not a universal "Reset all posts" button, but you can see them all in one place for each section on the home page.


There is not an ignore function however it is agreed that it would be useful. I believe it is available on the new version of the forum software but upgrading is a job which we are avoiding doing because it's scary.

Hi Admin

would it be useful to have a delete thread button for threads you start as for instance, if your selling something and its sold or you start a thread that you may regret or want to end because it has given you the information you need, then why leave it there? just a thought it would certainly remove a lot of excess baggage. Is that not an easy thing for you to write into the code?


hugs


easy.

Hi


No, it is not easy to write into the code. Allowing people to delete threads stops them from being responsible for what they write i.e. if they cannot delete it then they will be more careful about what they write. However having that functionality in the wanted and offered section could be a good idea to keep it tidy. In reply to Karter's point the tiny amount of people who would delete old posts would have no effect on the memory or the smooth running of the forum.

    • That's actually why the Sherlock Holmes stories were so popular. There was so little crime people found it exciting to imagine robberies and murders happening in London.
    • Yes, because of course there were no violent robberies in the olden days. Pretty much no crime happened at all I believe through the entire Victorian era.
    • Hi all, Im a Southwark council leaseholder and live downstairs in a ground floor flat, there is one flat above me, it's a house with individual front doors leading from the street into the shared pathway. My neighbour told me he has had a ring doorbell installed, no discussion as to how I would feel being on camera everytime I go in and out or in my front garden. I was told it's only for deliveries and doesn't record and only activates when pressed, however I don't know this and I feel really uncomfortable everytime I'm out in garden or on doorstep talking to people. Everytime I walk in/out, it lights up and in the eve it has a  infra red  light. Now I've read up that as he said its only for deliveries, he could set it so it only activates when pressed, however it activates with its motion sensor. Had he said to me about getting it installed, I could have had the opportunity to ask about it recording etc but nothing except it's being installed and when I arrived home it was there. I don't like being horrible to people however I feel I have not been considered in his decision and I feel very uncomfortable as, some times I have to stand on doorstep to get signal for my mobile and I really don't like the idea of being watched and listened to. Has anyone got any advice as I'm beginning to get angry as I've asked about it once and was told it only activates when pressed. I believe this is not true. I know southwark council say you need to ask permission to make sure the neighbours are OK with it, I don't really want to go down that road but I don't know how to approach the subject again. They also put a shed approx 3 foot from my back room window, these places are built so my window faces their rear garden and there upstairs window  faces mine. They said it's there temporarily, that was over a year ago and it does affect the light, plus I'm hoping to sell up soon and the view from window is mainly a dark brown shed. When I've mentioned this, I was told they have no where else to put it, whereas originally they said its only temporary, Also the floorboards above are bare and I get woke early morning and at night, the thudding is so bad my light shakes and window rattles, so I mentioned this and asked if they have rugs, I was told when they get the boards re sanded they will get rugs, I should have asked if they could get rugs and just take them up when boards being done, which I would have done had it been me living above someone, their attitude was I can just put up with it until they are ready. so they had the floor boards done, and the workmen was hammering screws, yes screws, in the floorboards, I spoke to workmen to ask how much longer and they said yes, are using screws to make less noise! I could hear the cordless screwdriver, not an issue but for every screw there were at least 8 whacks, the owners had gone out to avoid the noise  so I  spoke to workmen as the noise was unbearable, the sanding, not an issue at all, people need to get things done to their home and I'm fine that on occasions there will be temporary noise. now I have a nice crack on my bedroom ceiling, I mentioned this to owner but no response, he said there were alot of loose floorboards and it will be much better now, not so noisy, as though I don't know the difference between squeaking floor boards and thudding, and nothing was mentioned re the crack or that they now have rugs, which if it were me, I'd be trying to resolve the issue so we can get on with feeling happy in our homes. so I'm feeling it's a total lack of consideration. these places are old and Edwardian and I've lived here over 40 years, had 4 different neighbours and it's only now the noise of thudding is really bad and the people before had floorboards but nothing like this. As you can probably tell I'm really wound up and I don't want to end up exploding at them, I've always got on with neighbours and always said if there's a problem with my dog, pls let me know, always tell me, however I feel it's got to the point where I say something and I'm fobbed off. I know I should tell them but I'm angry, perhaps I should write them a letter. Any suggestions greatly appreciated and thank you for reading my rant.
