    Sorry you dont seem to be very clever.

    You have done as they have asked and yet you complain when there are no Admins on-line.

    they will get to it when they can.

    i see you will be fun. :lol:

    Afternoon Yenners. Bloody awful show, yes? And who's the sneering toad named after some retired golfer? I don't know who you are toad, but lay off our Yenners. :evil:

    27,000 posts, from Sweden and no manners.

    Way to go yenrod! Keep the insults coming, he's a mod!

    He may be a mod, but he has no decorum nor does he appear to have any understanding of how the change has affected some forum members...being overpowering and rude may work with some people, but I reckon a more reasoned approach is required. Mods require a certain degree of understanding beyind a reactionary swipe of the mouse - perhaps "nicklouse" has gained some degree of respect over time elsewhere, he may require to re-assess how he will gain this with new members. At present, it does not appear to be going very well.

    at the moment a have to say i cant be arsed, there is a sticky for you to register that you are short of posts. you have registered the fact. and guess what it will get sorted. So why do certain people need to make post after post complaining that they are missing there posts?

    the more noise you make the less likely that you will have a quick result to the problem.

    you talk about respect. works both ways, all i see is a kid complaing about some posts.

    and after his post about snorting some drugs......... why should i think and more.
    the fact is that you are one of the original C+ers and i would not be supprised if you were about before the Snitz forums atarted?

    OH and finally you may see some big changes after the damn tour gets finished. As that is what everyone seems to be concentrating on at the moment.


    i supose i could start shouting about my lost 50 posts from C+ etc

    as we all know this change is not going well but we are stuck with it. and some mug(s) have been asked to keep some control over it.

    which is very difficult with the current issues.

    A quote: "So why do certain people need to make post after post complaining that they are missing there posts? "

    A possible answer:

    This is new territory. Stickies, new threads, replies to you etc. don't work in the same way they did in the old territory. It is a challenge that will gradually become easier. Not everyone can look at an index page on a forum and automatically know how it works. Not everyone reacts favourably to being dumped out of somewhere they were comfortable, without any warning, without any assistance, into somewhere rather foreign.

    The challenge is not made any easier by smart-arse comments by people who should know better.

    PS: it is "Their" not "There"

    I hate to say it, but you could get a Mac - spell checking in the input boxes!

    (I'm sure there is a solution for PCs too. Linux, well, who cares! :P )

    The transition problems will be fixed - please bear with us. The whole site is a beta and we're fixing bugs left, right and centre.

    Post counts do seem like a rather trivial thing to get heated about, but we understand that's more a symptom of confusion with all the other changes than the number being in any way a deep reflection of people's personal worth. We're listening.

    As for spell checking, Firefox 2.0 has built-in spell-checking for form text boxes, and isSpell - http://www.iespell.com/ - is a free plug-in that does the same thing for Internet Explorer under Windows.

    Good point, and while I couldn't possibly suggest people circumvent their companies policy's, Firefox can be installed without admin privs. Dunno about ieSpell.

    That said, if people use their browsers to fill in forms in their work - and who doesn't these days? - there's a solid business case for getting the IT department to install a spell checker :wink:

    A thought after this thread...

    Do the various Mods (on the new set-up) have a period where they query each other before taking action. There are some C+ posters with idiosyncrasies that were tolerated - it looks like they might not be tolerated by different mods. I'm sure the same applies to the other other boards? Having said that, there are now a huge number of members and moderation will have to take a different form anyway.

    John Stevenson --> "Post counts do seem like a rather trivial thing to get heated about,"

    In one sense, yes, absolutely. However, to many people it represents the time and effort that they have invested in this online community. That's not just a trivial thing and it's what makes a good forum come alive. The likes of Yenrod, who we know and love, helped make C+ feel like home, or a favourite pub. It would be a very sad day if he is made to feel like a nothing more than A.N Other poster.

    Nicklouse - I gather you've PM'd Yenners and apologised. Duly noted.

    Please restore my 5000 of post count as soon as possible. I want people to know I have put time into dicusssion of cycling on your forums-part if building character online IMO. I'll give it the week ahead then Dave_1 dissapears as does the person behind him from these forum. IMO people like me are badly needed in race, along with other stalwart members who are well known. Pls do something

    I do. And I use Firefox 2 so that's why this post contains no spelling mistakes.

    Yenners, last night when I looked at the bikeradar home page your thread title was proudly sitting at the top of the list - with no sweary filtering! Perhaps this reply will bump it back there again... :D
