Either that or it'd go the other way and be something for some people to aim for. Same conclusion though.

I had considered whether it would serve as a feedback mechanism to help outliers converge towards what the majority felt was the accepted norm. However, once someone is ignored, there is no incentive to reverse that decision, which also means that the ignored person obtains no benefit by conforming.


Publishing the figures would amount to an indirect way for the majority to tell an outlier to p1ss off and die ? effectively, it would be an index of cliquishness - or should that be clickishness?


Has Admin sown the seeds of a colon-clickers' clique? :)

Good idea however I would rather not use the space at the top of the list with an instruction, it should be for announcements. What I can do is put a How To Reduce Picture Size link above the text box where people post, that will link to a message in the About the forum section explaining how it's done. I just need someone to write that post.

Hi legalbeagle, we were asked if it was ok to put this on the website and of course it was, however as the boy disappeared from Doncaster 3 years ago and there was a rumoured sighting in SE London it's not really a 'pinnable' issue, we try and save the pinnable spot for major incidents in the area. Having said that I've made it sticky for today.

Dear Admin


Why does the blurb under the section headed "General ED Issues/Gossip" suggest that this is the place to post about local businesses/restaurants etc?


Someone posted about the new cafe on Barry Road today and the thread has been moved to ED Businesses and Trades (or whatever it is called, sorry I don't have the exact titles in front of me) which is fair enough.


But - is the blurb under the General ED Issues/Gossip section now a bit misleading?

As SeanMacGabhann said, well spotted Dorothy. When the forum was first set up that description was correct however as it's grown and additional sections added that description has never been updated and so is incorrect. We will update it shortly, if you have any suggestions what it should say please let me know.

Hiya


Sorry if this has been mentioned before but I don't want to trawl through the site - when I post a for sale post, I can't then reply to the post if someone responds? it just goes onto the preview page and won't actually post. At first I thought it was my browser but I have tried in both Chrome and IE and it won't work.


Thanks

Can you attempt to post the exact phrasing on this thread. Does the same thing happen?

If so can you email admin [email protected] the text?


There was a previous issue whereby anything with the text 'cialis' ie 'specialist' etc had the same behaviour that you describe. It was the automatic forum screening software prevented the text from being posted. Perhaps there is a similar thing going on.

    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.  
    • I am  ill in bed with Covid. It's not that I "can't be bothered" to read things. I am feeling crap and don't have the mental  energy at the moment. I am not "brushing stuff aside and pleading ignorance." I am truthfully saying when I don't presently know enough about something to be able to comment. I have always been very careful to try to  differentiate between fact and opinion in both  my posts and other people's, and I am not clear what your point is. And I am certainly not trying to wind anybody up. This is a forum. If you don't want to respond to my posts, that's up to you. I'm not sure why you feel the need to announce it.   
    • @NewWave I know how you feel. Like you, I've lived and spent prolonged periods of time in some pretty crazy places and always thought I could handle a bunch of kids. But, no - they got to me and I was shaking like a leaf afterwards. That's what age does to us.  But I did engage with them, so bear that in mind.  My advice would be to never let anything like that stop you doing the things you love. I'm certainly not going to stop using the park, there's no way they get to take away our cherished spaces!  If you see them, just change tack and keep out of their way. My dog won't even go that way again, so that's that problem solved. (If I see them again, I'm going to keep taking photos from a safe distance).
