What a nifty and unobtrusive little feature. I don't think I'd have found it on my own. Note though that it only works -- both the toggle and the masking -- when you're logged in.

Just a passing thought but would it be worth adding a brief description of how to resize pictures to the rules posts in the various classified sections as it still seems to stump some. I know various solutions have been posted in here, but not many visit this section, particularly (ok I'm guessing here) new or occasional users.

nashoi, we will update the rules post and Help & FAQs soon to include the pointers for doing that.


Tarot, we're looking into the veering right issue this week, it would be handy if you could go to http://supportdetails.com/ and submit your details to [email protected] (when using the PC which the EDF veers right upon).

Hello Admin,


This isn't a complaint, but I am mystified. A thread has shrunk - by around 10 or so posts (I think). There's a big chunk missing and I don't understand why because, as far as I am aware, it didn't contain anything offensive or remotely controversial (actually, I did swear - but those posts are still there!). It isn't important by any means, but I just wondered (a) why and (b) if you were aware of the problem (if indeed, it is a problem). If it has happened to one thread, might it not have happpened to others?


Anyway, thank you - as always.

Hi Admin, I posted something in the main area (ED) on 30 Nov re checking on your elderly neighbours, and it was almost immediately Lounged. Would love an explanation why - after all, all our elderly neighbours are in ED! In SE22!

Please check on your elderly neighbours...

Hi


I believe it was because it was too similar to the "offering to do shopping trips for elderly/people unable to go" thread. Also it was not East Dulwich specific, we do get a few other generic public service announcements e.g. Save energy, help the homeless etc and they are in the Lounge. It is a grey area sometimes and apologies if you feel it was an incorrect decision but as I say there was already a thread discussing helping the elderly in East Dulwich in the ED Issues section it was moved to the Lounge.

The thread (my thread) was actually started several days before the thread you are referring to.

As I said, that thread came along several days later.


Having checked facts: my post was morning of 30 Nov, the above thread you mention was first posted late afternoon of 2 Dec, so approx 2.5 days (3 working days) later. How can Lounging my thread on 30 Nov be based on existence of thread that didn't happen until 3 days later?


Do I really post 'help the homeless threads' every other day?

Hello Admin, and sorry to bother you (again).


BUT, having real problems connecting with the EDF lately (doesn't occur with other sites). Note problem also occurs once already connected - e.g. when wishing to undertake a search, or jump to another section of the Forum. This is the message which keeps popping up:


The connection has timed out


The server at www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk is taking too long to respond.

* The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few

moments.


* If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network

connection.


* If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure

that Firefox is permitted to access the Web.


Thanks in advance for any help.

      What second hand car do people recommend?

      By Kipper_1972 · Posted

      Unfortunately Nissan was a disaster of a company when it created your car and still is, and most recently created another combined disaster alliance with Renault. Be aware, the trade value on your car is really low as no one wants to do the work & it's often only when it reaches near scrap value that someone (else) is willing to invest (their money) to try and fix. So if you're willing to front the money and fix your car that (you know) then that is most likely your best option (also understanding that it is outrageous that you should have to replace a CVT gearbox after 50K). If that isn't appealing consider a new Skoda Fabia 1.0 (Auto) on finance if you can't afford cash, it will last 20yrs.... (and avoid cars from the Stellantis group)

      Up the reform

      By Sue · Posted

      If you are referring to me, I was using my mobile. Just quoting the post I was replying to would have made no sense without showing my original post as well. I wouldn't have been able to do that on a "real PC" either, assuming I carried one around with me everywhere. It's nothing to do with what I'm using, it's the way the forum is set up to quote posts. I did insert a screenshot showing the keyboard by mistake.

      Can anybody recommend a good local plant nursery or garden centre?

      By Sue · Posted

      You have to book for the Sunday roasts in advance. I have bad memories of once going for a circular  walk around Downe and then trying to eat. The Queens Head staff (and customers)  looked at us as if we were mad for attempting to get a meal without booking. The other pub in the village  reeked of bleach.  We had to  drive around in search of a meal, and ended up at some large pub whose name and location  I have thankfully forgotten. All I remember is the food, which was truly awful.

      Isn't that one of Farage's locals?
