Harnser Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 Might I suggest introducing the procedure that a lot of private forums have, new forum members are on probation for six posts to prove that they can post relevant, sensible posts until they are accepted as full members? And no forum names accepted consisting of incomprehensible alpha numeric strings would be accepted? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The forum has suffered the loss of so many posters already. Now with the continuous spam, it is dying a sad death. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
menthe Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 Wonderfully practical answer, Harnser😄 I would certainly be hugely sorry if the forum were to truly die the death whether slowly or rapidly. In the past, I posted frequently but I have been unable to gain access easily. Still having to "forget" the password and then go to my email and put in the exact same rejected password which then is said to be "very strong" and I eventually arrive here. Because of all that bother and fuss, I have limited my participation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anotherbanana Posted May 4, 2023 Author Share Posted May 4, 2023 Would it be better if you started again under another pseudo with fresh passwords etc? Perhaps we might have a poll as to your new name. I would suggest LoyalLass!😜 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
menthe Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Wooly, a belated thank you. As it happens I don't seem to need a new name. Gardian has already implied I am a sinister adopter of various identities😇. You can imagine therefore my relief at finding that I am suddenly allowed to use my own existing name and password. I did feel like I was indulging in some dastardly cloak-and-dagger activity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teapot1 Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Hello those that may remember me, crikey tight restrictions logging in but still an awful site, it must take some skill to make the website forum as bad as this when the ease at which others operate.

Judith Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Good to see you again, Teapot! Hope all is well, and well done for your perseverence, yes, it's not the easiest foroum to nagigate onto! Unlike Lehaut (I thought you liked the cold weather LH), I'm inside, but sheltering from the heat down south .. I could almost wish for cooler weather even if I hate being cold now!

On the subject of electric cars exploding, a video recently taken by a french traffic officer of a Tesla on fire after being hit from behind by another Tesla is quite spectacular. https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipN0KMIjPtJLYAygdpvWhmZ3Fe5aMoYPU__7MnmA8wOkrA-3l-4XpdFhYH2KGHAkjQ/photo/AF1QipMD2yPGZEfdW9M6zLJnU018naVVHtXbsDqhcfI3?key=YlNQUGQzQndYcWM4RHhfZUFPdkF5ZW5FTWdVYnN3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harnser Posted August 2, 2023 Share Posted August 2, 2023 Calm down everybody, apparently that was a video taken 10 years ago of a fire involving gas cylinders. Why would anybody make up a story to cover it? I've no idea. https://www.honestjohn.co.uk/forum/post/194240/tesla---do-ev 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My health has been so so for a number of weeks, or mi figue raisin as the French say. I agree totally with your comments about the forum site, it IS pretty dire.
