    Ok, using my iphone (my main Internet source), how do I delete the list of my comments, my messages and notifications ? Been playing around and getting no where.

    Neither do I.
    It could be a bug, a conflict between the "General" and "Category" notifications settings.

    When I quote somebody, I can't get the stuff I write to appear outside of the box that contains the quote. Tried clicking outside the box, pressing various arrows, enter, tab etc. I have to write inside the quote box so it looks like my writing is part of the quote. Any ideas?

    just been having a look at the off topic threads and I noticed that 'facepalm' was mentioned.....previously I had absolutely no idea what the 'frets', 'facepalm' icons meant.  I'm not sure if I've understood this correctly but does facepalm mean that someone has given you negative feedback for some reason? 

    I noticed I has 2 facepalms in my profile and have no real idea what they are, what they mean or how they got there!  Could anyone enlighten me?  Ta......

    They were a method of negative feedback. People were being silly with them. The mods learned the valuable axiom, "If a group with a population greater than n is given the opportunity to be silly they will be silly."

    n is about four.

    I have to say I think that's worryingly weird.....that people can slag you off anonymously.  I have no problem with someone standing up and saying they have a problem with me if I have the opportunity to be heard.  Very strange.........

    Sorry guys if this is an old question I did search for it tho .
    How do you guys separate the text your quoting from the text your writing ? Ive tried a few times sometimes it works & sometimes not .
    I dont know what im doing different between attempts but most of the time it just looks like im editing someone elses post after hitting the quote tab . Do write my text at the top , bottom or in a different box? 
    The last attempt looked good could clearly see a separation with the boarders and I.D's but still ended up with my post inside someone elses post once I viewed it back.
    Im feeling pretty stupid at this point because you lot have already worked it out .Or is admin having a laugh ? Well it could happen.....
    Flown the nest .

    It is a bit erratic.

    Just un-indent your text if it happens again using the button that looks like this:

    or just add a smilee,  type, then remove the smilee

    just because you don't, doesn't mean you can't
     just because you do, doesn't mean you should.

    How do I post videos so that they only show as a letterbox and open up to the full viewing window when moused over?
    That would save some real estate when I post 3 or 4 videos.  I currently paste the YouTube address straight into "here", which gives the full viewing window.  Thanks for your help.

  • What did you do last night

    I don't get little red boxes telling there's been a reply to my threads anymore or that I have a PM ?

    Although I have ticked the box asking for email notifications when I have a new PM, I'm not getting the emails. They're not in my spam either. Is there anything I need to do?

    Thanks.
