Hi all,. Hope you are enjoying your Sunday afternoon, Denise and I have just been discussing the way we/people post on this forum, we are all guilty at some point of hijacking other thread's that have a similar question to our own, this can greatly confuse those that are taking the time to reply especially if we come in later and don't realise we are not answering the original poster, so it's good to post your own question and will mean you will only get a response to your concerns.

I hope this want offend anyone, I'm sure it want though, roll on the summer

    Thanks Alexandria, i fully support this! As the main adviser on here, i very often get totally confused and it doesn't take much to get me that way sometimes. Especially if i'm replying to someone in a rush. In fact i do believe i've got confused plenty of times, replying to someone and it was meant for the original poster.

    Sunny and mild up where i am today. A rare thing here lol No plans to do anything today, just enjoying the rest and the warmer feel, without the heating on biggrin Cheaper gas bills coming up... lollol

      Hopefully it will help with the quality of responses so it's clearer for poster to understand and for us to be less confused, just had dinner and sadly had to put heating on, v cold here

      This site is not the easiest to use at the best of times as their are so many different areas, don't personally think it's as straight forward as some of the ones I work on either, buddy cold here ugh

      Totally agree. Sometimes i can see there's another reply on a thread but it can take me forever to find the damn thing lol. Even more so if the thread is very long. Like the one we have on the forum at the moment. 79 replies.....extremely confusing too because there's more than 1 poster asking questions. rolleyes

      Think that it's when we think we are replying to one person and we get it wrong, that's all it takes to give wrong answers, also if they read the answers but don't check who it's for, Chao's LOL I need tea
