Just wondered if as well as a thanks button, is it possible to have a smiley face (for amusing posts) and a sad face for sadder posts.

Thanks for all you do.

I’ve quoted Exile’s useful post from another thread, hope it helps some of you that are unable to see any tweets.

I thought that my wife had a stroke /heart attack to day Twice in 4 hours the struggle to lift her from the floor an into a bed was near the end for me, We will look into the reasons why and all is OK for the moment but on your own in the middle of nowhere with a loved one it is frightening
I love her so

I was looking for the topic What pleased you today? and rather than going back through the last pages of the Active topics I decided to search for it using the Search option. I typed 'what pleased you today' into the search box and clicked on Search; I got the following reply:

What bloody use is that? :x

MEP's, it's got it's perks unless your unlucky and get Farage :lol:

Please don't tell me they've been on here since March 2018 ............ :shock:

I've only just noticed them today alongside the author of certain threads. What do they signify please?

This post is based on posting a video from a laptop (using Firefox, in English), which will be the same as for a desktop computer. I have no idea how to do it from a tablet or a smartphone, perhaps someone can add that in a reply.

1. Go to the YouTube website and find what you want to post.

2. Either right-click on the video itself...

It's been said before, but it's worth repeating with a photographic example (showing what happened when I replied to a post): often when you are typing a reply to a topic, someone else is doing the same thing at the same time. If, in that case, you click Submit and then immediately go to, say, Active topics without checking that your post has been...

There was a vote and the vote to get rid of the option won.

Its a subject where I often ask questions, each time I look for what is the best section to post them in the absence of a dedicated one, if its by car like one today then I can put it in the motoring section but the one about the TGV for instance I had to put in the snug.

There are frequently questions about ferries, Eurotunnel, airlines, trains,...

For obvious reasons (well obvious to me) I suggest scrapping the two thread titles Book I am reading and What are you reading this week? and substituting What are you reading? . Having two similar titles for the same subject doesn’t make sense, especially the “this week” bit (how is that relevant?) and leads to confusion. I speak as one who...

Edit. To make this clear for crakpot, this thread is for the user with the name manonthemoon who was having problems logging in and couldn’t send a message via the contact us so was asked to try again sending a message which came through as I have explained below. No one else needs to pay the slightest bit of attention to this if their name is not...

As posted I have been having lots of problems using google chrome to log in, after I cleared cookies :?

The problems were

a- user name and password brought up another thing asking me to do a captcha. I kept answering the captcha but the answers I gave were not accepted

b- then it was telling me I had tried to log in too many times so try...

To the person that sent the message today saying they have forgotten their password, just click ‘I have forgotten my password” under the login and password boxes and you should get a message to the email address you gave when you joined for you to set a new password.

Prompted by a post from PatF on another topic, I thought it would be a good idea to re-post a topic about posting photos. Fortunately, Ally has already posted a guide elsewhere to doing it with photos from your own device.

It's possible to post images directly from any device directly to the forum without using a third party site such as Flikr...

As a new user my postings are rejected saying ‘Forum does not exist’

Having just (re)installed Thunderbird as my email client on my computer, I added my email account for here and discovered that I have over 11 000 email notifications of topic replies! Looking at my UCP/Board preferences/Notification options, even though email is not ticked for anything, I'm obviously getting email notifications as well as forum...

I thought that this may be the best place to put this rather than the snug.

I think a lot of it is context, in that context it was amusing and you did warn people.Please don’t take it down Stompie.

Also there was a suggestion from ATS that Stompie should not belatedly...

It was my decision to try it so the blame lies on my shoulders only.
I asked v12mike who kindly helped with my request to try it for a day without them (sorry mike :P ) who knew the consequences would be for almost the self destruction of this place, I sure as hell didn’t. All I can say is that is was for the best of intentions that it was tried...

Hi all is it possible to post a video from a device, where the video is on my device as opposed to being on a web site (posting the address etc.)?

Thank you.

You have a pm answering the message you sent via the contact us.

Recently every time I try to add an attachment I get a message showing “status with a filled yellow triangle. This is nothing to do with the “file too large” message. Anyone know what the problem might be? Thank you.

Hi all,

I’m wondering if anyone can give me any info on what it would be like for me to find a job/work as a plumber around the Haute-Savoie area.
Im not set on that area, just somewhere fairly close to the slopes.

What do most plumbers charge or what are employees paid? I keep hearing different things.

I’m currently running my own plumbing...

Is there any reason why we can't have a thumbs down smiley? You've got the thumbs up one there and I think his negative pal might be useful.
