idun Posted September 27, 2014 Share Posted September 27, 2014 Mods, let's have a new start eh!I don't quite get what you wrote about me Spyder, it was the 'and' before the 'I thought' that I am questioning........ for the record though, my OH reproaches me for those times when I am not forgiving (doesn't happen often). And to clarify that, it depends on the circumstances. My good side is that I am happiest when I am being helpful and kind and making sure that all is as well as it can be for those around me. My bad side is that if someone crosses a final line or crosses me badly, then the person concerned can rot for all eternity. I've been told that I have ended up cutting my nose to spite my face, but frankly if someone has acted that badly towards me or someone I care for, I don't mind wearing a few battle scars. The use of the 'and' though is no more than me simply not quite understanding and nothing more! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val_2 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 FE- well have tried to log on yet again for five days now, even left the PC page open all day and nothing so will not be returning I don't think. Have always been on this site albeit not a prolific poster these days with so much going on in the real world. FE changing their setup has sounded the death knoll I think as it runs slower than a clockwork train. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debra Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 It's a nightmare, isn't it, Val? I'm not getting email notifications anymore and nobody can find out why. Even though I've still occasionally managed to post, no notifications kills it for me as no way can I cope with the slowness of the only other option of checking 'active topics' and then trying to go through the list trying to remember what threads I've posted on and whether I've seen the reply of the last person who posted on it.

Patf Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Like both of you I've always "kept one foot in each camp" - I must have about 10 feet!I'm surprised you can't log in there Val - you'll be much missed if it ever does get back to normal.

Debra Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I had similar thoughts - they must realise it's really bad if Val is giving up on the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val_2 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Well I keep getting notifications from FE regarding questions posed but cannot help as I cannot log on anymore. I did get on there for the first time since they changed just over a week ago now and that took five days before it would clear me and because we had a power surge again and the PC shut down, I lost my automatic login and have not been able to get on again for over six days now. To be honest I had a look at the threads and there is hardly anything new. I think there are lots of us from this forum who also went there and no way would I go on the local AI, that really is a nasty place now with stupid questions you only have to google to find out and then those who respond are adamant they are correct even if the official info is totally different. Its true if you tinker with something that is working well, you only end up breaking it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richard51 Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 Val_2An interesting comment Val. Given that you have 4,000 odd posts here, why did you go to this FE place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patf Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I thought Val was referring to AI, not FE, with the "stupid questions". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val_2 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 Thats correct, AI not FE and I don't want to start a forum war on here, its the only sane place I can go to now.Richards - I, like most forum users have not limited myself to just one site, there are dozens of members on this forum who also post on many others that I know from cyberspace and sometimes, some forums seem to dry up with lack of interest and postings. I hadn't been on here for a while to post but I do log in to read threads and like most people, if I am interested in the subject I will reply where I can, otherwise I just read and decide it dosn't interest me or havenothing to say on the subject.

Val_2 Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 My all time favourite question on that other site was someone wanting to know if they could get milk here or should they bring some pints from the UK.My husband wanted to reply at the time with something like "sorry but only the purple and white cows here that give chocolate milk, so you had better bring some with you" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val_2 Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Well I have tried again to log in to FE and no such luck. Shame really as sometimes there are some good snippets of info and some very nice members too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chancer Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 If your username started with a capital letter as most did then it will no longer recognise it unless you write it all in miniscule.i.e. "chancer" and not "Chancer"Not sure whether the same applies to passwords.You are not missing much thats for sure.

woolybanana Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Talking about members, what has happened to YCCMBetty. She last posted that 'she was off' but it seems that disappeared was more what she meant. Anyone in contact with her, is she miffed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Debra Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 It sounded like if someone was let back in then she was leaving. Maybe she had a problem with that particular poster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Araucaria Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 FE is working a bit faster today (still slow to upload posts) and some of the previous features have come back. It's still an excellent example of how not to run a website, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
