Just what was I to understand by this remark then dita ?
And please do not make accusations such as this "Please do not twist words just to create a bit of havoc. George45"
....remember the Forum Rules, NO PERSONAL ATTACKS !


It means exactly what it says, George. It means that the majority of members on this forum have been on it for years, not months, and if they were having problems with the way the forum was set up and working, they know very well that, over the years they just have to say something....and they have not.

The things you want to remove are to speed up the forum, but they will not improve the forum, except perhaps in your eyes because you will have made as you want it. Fast is not an improvement if there is nothing you liked left.

Your interpretation of dita's words so as to imply that we do not welcome new members could very well be construed as twisting, just as dita's response to that could well be construed as an insult. I tend to take posts in context and not as cherry picked parts out of a thread to make a point or an argument.

It is a pity you didn't think to frame your suggestion a shade more on the "I am finding the forum slow to load, what do you think can be done about it." and offer what irritates you as options to be removed. That way you may have come across as less "I know best" (because believe me, you don't know best) and would at least have ascertained the opinions of people other than yourself..and saved the arguments creeping into this thread.


I would like to repeat that I don't WANT anything ! - my post was in response to the request that is made on the forum homepage for 'suggestions for improving the forum' what I said was just a suggestion - I was trying to help but just got jumped on again.
All this is very upsetting.

Now, now, little children, bed and no birthday cake, if this goes on !! :grouphug:

Why should the forum load instantly for me but not some of you?

How big is your hard drive (if it's not a personal question), how many RAMs and GOATs?

*Monsy wanders slowly into thread, after her pc with a terrapin :rolleye11: hard drive has booted up faster than she can get back from the kettle*

*reads thread carefully, purses mouth like a cat's bahookie and decides she will go off and open a packet of choklit hobnobs instead of joining in *


*Conferskates plate from Magical Princess Putrid Muriel the First, wipes carefully with Parazone wet wipe, places doiley on said plate and offers hobnobs all round*

Three left! whaddya mean three left? and the choklit has definite signs of lickage??

I think your mouse be the problem, get a new ball :rolleye11:

Replacement of Mouse Balls.

If a mouse fails to operate or should it perform erratically, it may need a ball replacement. Mouse balls are now available as FRU (Field Replacement Units). Because of the delicate nature of this procedure, replacement of mouse balls should only be attempted by properly trained personnel.

Before proceeding, determine the type of mouse balls by examining the underside of the mouse. Domestic balls will be larger and harder than foreign balls. Ball removal procedures differ depending upon the manufacturer of the mouse. Foreign balls can be replaced using the pop off method. Domestic balls are replaced by using the twist off method. Mouse balls are not usually static sensitive. However, excessive handling can result in sudden discharge. Upon completion of ball replacement, the mouse may be used immediately.

It is recommended that each person have a pair of spare balls for maintaining optimum customer satisfaction. Any customer missing his balls should contact the local personnel in charge of removing and replacing these necessary items.

Please keep in mind that a customer without properly working balls is an unhappy customer.

Arfa that reminded me of when I answered the phone the other day and someone from the hospital asked for my hubby and I replied without thinking that he was squeezing his balls at the moment but I would go and get him. :oops:
I realised what I said when silence reigned at the end of the phone followed by a burst of laughter.
I then said that I was sorry but I meant he was squeezing his exercise balls to help strengthen his wrists. :roll:
The lady at the other end of the phone said she would have something to tell her hubby when she got home.

She was still giggling when I handed her over to hubby.
