Press this arrow for edit button.

Have to look on a bigger screen to see that, enlarging makes it out of focus

 

[rpm]

Even on the laptop enlarging that screen shot goes out of focus however the edit botton is visable next to the report button

Tried both Craig.
On the phone you find it by clicking on Report.

Lot easier on the laptop, your post enlarged as expected.

were now diverse accepting the americans, the canadians and anyone else that wants to say hi

 

[Deleted member 96286]

Ah, I thought it was because of Brexit and Scotland, Wales and N.I might be leaving.

 

[Harvest Fields]

Ohhh hhhh hhhh hhh no

Hopefully we will have some members that can advise / join up eg like oz

We all add our own bits that help mate.

 

[Welder]

We DEF need an 'agree' emoji. Why? It helps people we are trying to help see that others agree with the statements made but saves everyone having to write stuff. An 'agree' emoji would be an empathetic response to users

 

[Welder]

Not sure that is PC Shaun.

Keep it up Taff (Shaun)

I think the idea is to boost numbers of visitors to the site, so by making it more international we get not only diyers/home owners asking for advice from overseas, but hopefully professionals who can answer those questions also.

With more 'septics' visiting the site, everyone needs to be prepared for serious levels of abuse and stalking. Many of them have no filters whatsoever. On a personal level, I know I will simply stop coming if it even begins to get silly. It's simply not worth the grief - especially when you are trying to help someone for free

I did an experiment once on LinkedIn. The yanks were 'hijacking' seemingly all threads and turning them round to: politics, religion, race & abortion. Most threads died within two days due to it. So, I posted a question asking why they did it. Genuinely I wanted to find out what was behind it. In two days it was hijacked. The thread ended up running for three months with somewhere like 3000 posts most of which were generated by approx 12 people with opposing views on race, religion, abortion & politics. At the time Obama was in power so you can imagine some of the vitriol.

During this time I did some analysis. I received over 200 direct messages. Most were from non-americans who laughed up their sleeves at them and explained that this was exactly why they are so universally hated across the globe. WIthin those messages I had a handful of the kind of emails one only reads about. So disgustingly full of hate it was difficult to conceive of them coming from the people they did. We are talking preachers, CEOs of seemingly reasonable companies and highly qualified and eminent people in their fields. I got them cos occasionally I'd just lob in a question or statement to stir up the pot. One such was, "As obama is doing such a fantastic job, is it not time the Southern states of the USA recognised his value and heritage and put further victims of your racially oppressive regime into power?"

Oh the British sense of humour is naughty....

Of course it's all about traffic

 

[rpm]

Totally agree with the first part of your post Dave.
Just to lazy to do an edit & quote on the phone

 

[ShaunCorbs]

Don't recall you being around then.

Just / tail end of the thread

Ive just worked out my smileys

The cog on the 2nd row was orange (I must of pressed it scrolling) accidentally pressed it again and hey presto emojis work again

This is an excellent site and it's very interesting to read in your intro about responses to some questions on the forum. I do understand the reason for not giving out information which might put people at risk but I admit I did get annoyed at the less than helpful attitude of one or two contributors, especially when seeking advice and I was accused by one regular of pretending to be my own 'qualified heating engineer'.
I run a business which requires an annual LPG inspection and at the last inspection I told the engineer we'd had the annoying problem of 'extinction pop' which regularly blew out the pilot light. After checking out a few of the usual possible causes he was honest enough to tell me that he didn't know what the solution was. However he said that if I could find the answer he would re-visit to install any new parts etc. I did eventually find the solution, but it came from outside this forum, from a heating specialist who was prepared to offer such advice and who obviously had lots of experience with boilers such as ours. It turned out to be a quick and simple fix, with no new parts needed, and the boiler has performed faultlessly since, so it didn't really need throwing away and replacing with a new one, which was, according to some, the only way forward. It will hopefully still be working well when some of the latest models are consigned to the scrap heap.
