Hi Ruffers


The forum down was just a bit of database optimising. The dotted lines are about the extent of the excitement I'm afraid, I was just trying to emphasise the sponsored links a bit more without it being too in yer face.


Just tried adding the ignore user module but it doesn't seem to work, apologies.

psst, don't tell anyone but if you look at someone's post, then click on the ":" in "Posted by: username...".


As pointed out by HAL9000 there is a bug (error) that occurs when you initially click the ":", the page scrolls to the top and you think 'what happened there?'.


Enjoy

When you click on another poster's colon (I know, I know) - ignore the page jump, it's probably a bug - however, from that point onwards that poster's posts are hidden from your view unless you override by clicking on show/hide.


The feature provides a simple way to ignore other posters? comments. I'm not sure whether you'll understand this explanation, but it doesn't really matter; I can't imagine you wanting to ignore anyone else's posts.


Suffice it to say that some members are more likely to become its subject rather than its beneficiary.

Thank you HAL9000.


But surely then, it's a hindrance because users can no longer simply scan through anymore without having to stop onto this new feature and click onto it. I mean, why would someone go on a forum like this one and not wish to scan through the posts? And why would a poster "activate" this feature on one of their posts? I would have thought that the whole point of posting was for the public to view that post. It just doesn't make sense to my pea brain.


Sorry Admin. I realise you meant well and I don't wish to appear ungrateful (honest), but I don't see the point of it.:(

Oh hang on...pea brain has just gone...."ping"!


Can this feature only be activated by the poster him/herself or can any poster choose to hide/show a particular poster's posts. In other words: if say the poster "Administrator" wished, for some inexplicable;-) reason, to avoid "Ladymuck's" posts, could "Administrator" switch off all of my posts? In which case, would my posts be hidden from view to "Administrator" only or to all and sundry?


Sorry - I'm not the brightest when it comes to computer stuff.

Good question, I've just had a look and Google Analytics does not record the ingnoreuser link as a page, but if you can tell me how to measure it e.g. in a custom report or similar then I can set it up. I'm assuming you want the colon clicking stats.

      Thames Water meter rip off?

      By Rumbero · Posted

      I’m in exactly the same position.  They badgered me for ages to have a water meter fitted.  I’d prevaricated simply because it’s so tedious dealing with these people but eventually gave in when the communications became increasingly frequent and aggressive and it was done in March 2023. I just assumed I’d then be charged on actual consumption but I received an email this morning with details of the latest price increase and it said, “Since your property doesn’t have a water meter, your bill is calculated in advance based on fixed rates rather than water usage”.  I’m sure they’ve realised I’d be paying much less if they billed me on actual consumption but have not gone out of their way to inform me.  Trawling through their website, for me anyway, is an unutterably tedious chore, but I think I’ll now have to work up the energy over the weekend to pick up the phone on Monday morning and have a word with them.

      Plumber recommendation - Andy Burke

      By shazza76 · Posted

      Great Service again from Andy.  Contacted him with a couple of issues with toilet cistern and shower.  He came over and sorted it all out quickly. Good advice given, reasonable charge for the jobs.  Highly recommend Andy!

      Be careful on the pavements...

      By malumbu · Posted

      Just seen this.  Your post was a bit unnecessary.  I was simply responding to the previous post that children should be cycling on the pavement. But as you say I know shed loads about transport.  Not to the depths that some go down to the minutia.  Some call me the space cowboy.  Some call me the gangster of love.  I think of myself as the people's poet.  You have to laugh at yourself. Echoing what DKH said, we weren't there, you don't know the parent was making a snide remark, My favourite Dulwich parent story was a few years ago were friends when we were in the Herne garden a few years ago, who let their children run riot.  Bless.  One decided to turn the hose on spraying some poor drinkers.  Now most of us would be mortified, but the friends welcomed their child's creativity.
