  1. Why are some folk always out for an argument on social media, Web Cam chat and Forums?

  2. If people keep positing the 'wrong thing' in the Status Update area then maybe there is something a little wrong with the set up between using the PM facility (confidential) and Status (open to public)? Once or twice maybe accidents. Several times a month is showing some sort of confusion as to the way to do things 'privately' ?  I ma not clever enough to understand Tech stuff but I can see a glitch.

      When you go to someone's profile there's an edit box in the middle of the screen to send them a message, whereas the (private) Message button is much less obvious on top of their profile background

       

      I never even noticed that edit box on a profile before, just had to go and look to find it. It does clearly say "Write a public message on nnnnn's public feed". Can't say I've ever mistaken it for the PM "Message" button at the head of the page.

      Say goodbye to your life...

      The Mrs dropped her's down the loo, spent a week without one and found it "liberating".

  4. I suppose there will be no more questions of ‘where’s the groan button’ seeing as we now have one... :D

      We just have an endless stream of status updates saying "oh look there's a Groan button now".

      Damn shame. In the same boat here. Current 4 week stint (3rd one so far) due up end of next week. Pretty sure it will extended again to take full advantage of Sunak's generosity!

      Can you tell that to all the people who are whinging about not liking it on their phone?

  8. Listen please, the old software had security vulnerabilities and needed updating to this version. Work has been done to make it more like the old version than the out of the box version. I'm getting a bit fed up with some people criticising when they don't consider these aspects or read any of the relevant posts about what's going on. Many people have shown a lot of understanding but some just want to shout an opinion. Frankly, that doesn't help one scrap.

      Can you pin this comment? lol

       

      From some of the comments, it also looks like they think you wrote the software yourself and deliberately made the changes to pi$$ people off!

      Red the big red banners -it's still indexing.
      1) no index =slower queries to render the page
      2) The server will be tied up with the indexing, slowing things down

      Patience.

  11. Am I the only one in the world who prefered viewing desktop sites on mobile?

      It probably won't be there, this looks to using Adaptive design, shrink the browser window on a PC worth mobile device size and the display of the content adjusts itself to mobile view.

  13. Arranging to replace a pair of expensive tyres that have worn quickly. Told by tyre supplier that a second set of tyres never lasts as long as the factory original set! Don't think I agree, what do others think?

      Utter tosh. Same spec tyres will last just as long.

  14. Talking of insurance, I've just had the AA breakdown renewal in and I have to say, who are they kidding, time to change me thinks. 19 years but if I leave now and then come back it would be half the price, apparently they are all at it and an enquiry has been called for. So much for loyality...

      Jonny, if your bank told you that you had to take out building insurance with them just because you had a mortgage with them, then you have been conned.

  15. Just discovered that I have one of the "Uncirculated" new £1 coins, is it immoral to stick this on eBay for the silly prices people are asking then spend the profits on trains without telling the misses??

      Just for clarity, my fool comment was not aimed at you, but at the buyers of such on eBay :) Good luck with your sale!

      If there is a mug out there willing to buy it, do it. They are not "rare", only 0.5bn were minted in 2016. There are just fools who don't realise you can't just introduce a new coin without having been striking them for a year before hand.

  17. More garbage from head office: we've just had a rebuke for not referring to staff as either "colleagues" or in the numbers sense as "headcount". I often wonder if this kind of thing is something our underemployed and overstaffed desk jockeys dream up to bolster their Linkedin achievements/lies section.

      Get your revenge by referring to the HR dept as Personnel, they really don't like it! :D

      As a member of staff (oops.. colleague) I hate being referred to as a "human resource", even less the latest fad "human capital"
