Is this a serious request re the Begging Bowl thread?

Can posters recommend companies that are not in ED or immediate areas?


Are business allowed to keep 'mentioning' themselves as purveyors of services other posters are asking about. I thought this would fall under the one time mentioning your business, and thereafter you need to have people recommend you.

Gidget, seriously, just relax. Whilst I'm sure your continual reporting of messages in the business section is well intentioned, it is driving us all potty. You've already been asked once to only report serious breaches of forum rules and yet you persist in reporting every petty offence you come across. Please, stop it.

Hi Gidget,


The forum was running exceptionally well last week and looking into what you said further and chatting to some of the Admins/Moderators it seems you have reported 322 messages previously and been warned not to report so often. Your constant reporting dilutes the seriousness of any messages that you report so please appreciate that when you are actually reporting a "serious" incident it take a bit longer for the team to address it due to the engrained lethargy from seeing an email entitled "Gidget has reported a message" for the 323rd time.

Hi, sorry for the delay. For some reason the ignore facility creates loads of error messages which fill up the forum database and make it crash. If we ever get time we will look into and bring back the ignore feature but I think it maybe related to the ignore module not running on PHP5.3, which means it's not a quick fix.

ianr, that's a bit like the thread about the 176 running ten minutes late :)

The time went wrong on the old server when the clocks went back/forward but then I managed to find out how to set the server clock to update from and external timeserver (like Greenwich's). I haven't set this server's clock to stay up to date from elsewhere yet so I assume it's gradually slipping, let me see what I can do.

Yes, reduce your picture size.


When you upload a 10MB file for a picture of your cat, that's the same thing as taking Admin's breakfast from under his nose, smashing it over his head and putting the pieces in his pocket.


Whilst satisfying, it doesn't induce cooperation.


Here's one, go for 600 width maximum http://www.imageoptimizer.net/Pages/Home.aspx

    • That's great you have the cat! Sorry to interfere, and feel free to ignore this, but it might not be a great idea to post your mobile number on a public forum? You can message the owner on the forum via a private message.
    • Copleston centre hire for adult parties 
    • Most churches rent out halls for children's' parties but rarely adult parties, Christ Church only does afternoon parties,   The East Dulwich Community centre hires out halls to 9 pm only and all music needs to be on a sound restrictor as is in a residential area. St Johns with St Clements have a small hall but not sure if they allow adult parties. Nunhead Green has a newish community centre with a couple of different size halls. Most places seem to charge around £40 ph  with a deposit of £100/200 (returned if no damage or excess cleaning needed.
    • Hello, Recently there have been various comments made on the forum which have resulted in heated discussions being had. I for one, hold up my hand and wanted to personally thank whoever is keeping the forum going.. remember when it was likely to close. We are all adults and should known when it is right to continue or just ignore or if really feel it necessary comment via pm. I have had a long relationship with the forum and have bought, sold, offered advice and in deed made friends on the forum over the years. It is a public forum after all and everyone is entitled to express their opinion and is also free. I am not as tech minded as most but with the season of good will approaching and-knowing in this economic climate how many people are  struggling, I  thought it would be a lovely idea, to perhaps set up a just giving page to raise funds for a local charity who might appreciate a contribution towards their Christmas festivities… On a practical side, might just be to complicated to administer as I am sure all have charities that we support so my other thought was not me, as I am useless but to set up a just giving page and whatever monies are raised, perhaps contribute to the festivities that use to be run by local shops or whatever.. Maybe even use a local church hall and just make it special for perhaps folk that find it difficult to access events or no access for say wheel chair users.. guess really, one is looking for guidance from the church and of course volunteers. Shoot me down if you must or feel the need but this is my view and no, sadly I won’t be around in the months before Christmas but can help remotely.
