Hi,

Can anyone help. When I try to start a new post in the lounge it says only registered users may post there and I noticed I am logged out.

Thanks

[Administrator]

I see you've managed to post in the Lounge now.

Hi

I've a friend who is trying to register via his laptop (which I gave him) and has tried umpteen names and passwords without success. I then had a go on my current computer using the name he provided (and he typed in his preferred password and confirmation of password). This looked as if it was accepted and he looked on his email (google) to check whether confirmation has arrived - but nothing has appeared. How long does registration normally take? And surely it can't be computer specific - I can log in from my workplace.

Advice please.

Google has a particularly aggressive spam filter, so it's possible the email is being filtered out.

Set up a temporary email account on Yahoo! And see if that works?

Administrator there was a thread about the Kingsdale results which disappeared, I then put a thread asking if it had moved and then that thread was taken down with no response.....I just want to know if it as indeed be taken down nd if so why? I had asked a question on and wanted to read the responses that's all?!

[Administrator]

It's been put back up.

[intexasatthe moment]

Regarding the Kingsdale thread - the message from Admin about posters details being given to the authorities etc .

If it was neither a light hearted /jokey response nor a rather threatening message - why was there talk of the police ?

Libel is a civil matter not criminal isn't it ?

[intexasatthe moment]

Just a blip in the usually excellent admin of the forum ???

[intexasatthe moment]

Any chance of a reply to my first question ?

[Administrator]

For your information I have previously been contacted by the police regarding posts on the forum and I get sent a notice by them requesting personal information to be handed over. You may call that a "blip in the usually excellent admin of the forum" (thank you) but I simply call it giving details to the authorities.

[intexasatthe moment]

I'm sure you have been contacted by the police in the past asking for posters details - I find it very interesting that they would contact you over civil matters .

Thank you for the reply .

Difficult task you have .

[Administrator]

Just to clarify I did say "the authorities" and not "the police".

[intexasatthe moment]

"We keep getting reports from someone apparently from Kingsdale saying posts are libellous. We have collected the details of the posters and will forward on to the authorities when requested so that they can speak to the individuals concerned.

I suggest that if you have embellished anything in your posts that could be lies that you quickly go and amend them before teacher comes back with the police. "

I think it was the last sentence that ,to my mind ,implied police involvement .

But I guess it was meant light heartedly and not intended to be taken seriously .

[Administrator]

"...quickly go and amend them before teacher comes back with the police." was indeed an attempt at lifting the heaviness of the sentence whilst still having serious undertones (see the previous sentence).

[Sue]

Sorry to be dim, but I want to report somebody who has sent me abusive PMs.

Can you tell me how I do this as it is different to reporting a post in a thread, thanks.

[StraferJack]

oooh, I DO WONDER who it could be Sue?

You could click on "report this message" from one of their posts

or try clicking the "email the forum" link at bottom page

I reckon the former will be faster tho

Doubt if you'd guess, I've never heard of them before .....

But I don't want to report their posts, they haven't been publicly abusive (yet).

[minder]

Can't seem to find something I put on the for sale section last night - a moving fish lamp/light?

I've had 3 pms, the first person didn't show today so will be contacting the next one but can't find the original post.

Thanks.

Hi my friends daughter has tried on several occasions to put a post on about her mobile hairdressing that she has just started and it keeps on being taken of she lives in dulwich for 24 years now I can't see where she is going wrong help

[Huguenot]

I think people have tried to help here a number of times vicki08, although she doesn't respond to any of the advice.

You can see an example from me on the bottom of this thread: http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?12,1024941

I don't have an awful lot of sympathy if she doesn't bother to engage people who are willing to help.

[vicki08]

Actually she did do has you said in your first answer but yet again it was taken off

[SallyBeck]

Sorry to hear that Sue. What is wrong with some people hiding behind a keyboard? They should really get a life!

No problem with hiding behind a keyboard, it's what they type and to whom that's the issue.

Keyboards are part of life these days, after all.

Anyway I decided life was indeed too short to bother with somebody who's clearly either eaten a swarm of wasps or is two sandwiches short of a picnic.

He or she has probably moved on to insult somebody else.
