Must be for I had the same result as you. Also I don't get the "the spam jigsaw thing" to fill in, that must also be for new members.


Peter.

I think it was Steven as he has more access to it then us.:U


Peter.

You could always tell the poster that you dislike the post by using the reputation button, which will allow a negative reputation, but it's private and not public.


Peter.

The system already advises you when your inbox reaches a certain amount of messages and suggest you clear some out to avoid reaching your limit.

I know because I have received a few.

Peter.

I've had this a few times ( Chrome browser) lately. It seems to fix it when I hit reload button and refresh the screen.


Peter.

Must be just you for it's not happening to me. :U

Seriously did you remember to tick the "Remember me box" when logging on.

Peter.

That is my pet hate.

We regularly see politicians wearing these vests and hard hats to open something or other but last night on the news it went to extremes.

The Vic Premier was digging the...

Personally I think that for making such insulting and derogative comments he should at least be permanently banned. :((

Peter.

Can't help you there but I suggest you contact the Victorian Men's shed association Executive Officer, details as per link, Ric Blackburn.

Ric until last year was in charge of the Manningham Mens...

There are quite a few Men's sheds that are set up by Community Health Services that cater for clients with disabilities which rely on volunteers.

Find one local and go and have a chat with them....

Neil,

The reputation system is still there, including the option of giving a disapprove reputation and I agree that it was abused by some members.

Peter.

But in Victoria 911 on a mobile will still work as well. :U

Peter.

Steven,

When I use the New post search or Today's post search the links to "Activities to Quick Links" in the brown menu bar is missing.


Peter.

Why not? Others do. Besides it's called communicating. :U

Peter.

And that's why I replied to this request, with the advice to check with an older plumber who may still have a threading tool.

I do volunteer work at a community health service Men's shed where...

Is this the type of clamp that screws onto a 1/2" water pipe (with an OD of 3/4") ?

If so you can usually get an older plumber to cut a new thread for you as they would still have an old...

Thanks for that Fred as that would fit the bill.

As it's not very urgent as yet I will try to set up my metal lathe first and start of with practicing to machine MT1 tapers before buying it. I...

That would work but it would be neater and better if the rod was reground to the MT1. I tried H & F for a similar kind of adapter but to no avail and getting it from the US would become rather...

I have picked up an old woodworking lathe for use as a dedicated buffing station but it has a MT1 drive.

I currently have a 3' threaded rod, with all the buffing wheels, which has a MT 2 taper...

I know of topic but replying to Ray.:)



Ray,

Late last year I bought this lathe together with stand, milling attachment and the basic cutting tools.

The plan is to shift the garden tools...

Got mine today Richard.

The postie stopped and hand delivered it to me, as he saw me painting the side of the house. Had a chat about what it was and he was surprised at your generosity and the...

I'd like one too please.
PM sent.

Peter.

Just shoot the horse and send it to the knackery, or if in France butcher it up and have a big bbq. :U:U:U

Peter.

BTW you don't have to thank me for these suggestions. :U

But then they also would be following the rules, like they are supposed to.

And it would quickly solve this perennial problem of members not reading and following the rules. If other rules are...

What could be more clearer in the rules under the sellers area :



The problem arises time and time again because the Mods are too kind and lenient. If they just deleted these threads a few...

Having read the whole thread I beg to differ.

I believe you are trying to be at the least pedantic and at the worst ... ( the rules prevent me from expressing my thoughts here).....

Give it...

When I open the BS Box forum it lists the posts back as far as 2004. So I presume the problem is your setup.


Peter.

It's been mentioned before. That feature was a byproduct of I SPY which is not available for the current upgrade.

Also the forum column can not be placed next to the post name column which would...

YOUR COMMENT:...



MY RESPONSE:....



YOUR FURTHER RESPONSE:.....

I'm not ashamed of wishing someone a belated happy birthday. Especially one done by a real person and not automated by a machine. :)

Only the fun police would object to such innocuous well...

A belated happy birthday to you.:bday3: Hope you had a great day. :U:U:U

Peter.

Why don't you send a pm to NewLou who is a member here and did what you want to do. He changed occupation at a mature age to become a welder.


Peter.

It annoys me too and IMO shows the ignorance/inconsiderateness of those posters in not turning it off and causing me to pay for bandwith that I don't need. :((

The latest attempt is neither funny...

Well the new look really surprised me and IMO the appearance has gone about 10 steps backwards. The screen is now really cluttered with all kinds of extras I don't need to see.

Let's hope common...

Just send a pm to Robbo and ask him to change it for you.

Peter.

Rather then sending a pm I would have asked the question by posting it in the thread. Then everyone is aware of your interest and the answer to your question should also be posted there. A pm should...

Strange how this thread changed.

As I see it a member posts items that are objectionable and not in accordance with the forum rules and gets moderated and have posts deleted. Not liking being...

Not only annoying but it's a form of "High tech wanking".

Peter.

Congratulations to all concerned in implementing the change. You guys were working under pressure and had stupid posts about minor inconsequential petty things, like colour & fonts, to worry about. A...

Alby, the No 2 MT double ender is not easily available, so for the same purpose, I had one made by a friendly metal turner. May be a metal turner on this board can help.

Peter.

Over the years that I've been a member I've lived through a number of forum upgrades and this one is no different. Whilst Neill, Steve and his team are working flat out getting it done lots of...

The Renovate forums are running version 4.1.12. Upgrade to this for here will no doubt come when time permits.


Peter.

For what it's worth you lot miss the real point and that is the forum rule that if a post causes a problem you report the post, using the button provided, rather than possibly start a flaming war.

Both looks like spam.


Peter.

Woodshavings, of course. :D


Peter.

DJ is right, when I start a new thread it's instantly available, and sometimes a reply is posted before I can post the next in a series, but when my daughter first joined she was moderated for a...

Has been fast as usual but then I'm on the Optus cable, nothing to do with Telstra' s system.


Peter.

In that case use the "Todays Post" it's on top under the "Quick Links" on the top menu bar.
