Nasty Trolly types


Recommended Posts

Posted

Few, if any, of us actually enjoy getting upset in these forums by Trolls. As many of us who post here much prefer well-reasoned argument over flame-wars, it may be of use to folks to have a look at this link originally posted by Kouros (thanks Kouros!) on the Richard & Judy thread. I suggest we read and inwardly digest the advice here and maybe, just maybe, we might all get along a bit better. Basically, don't react to fools with flame-throwers (tempting as it may seem) and they'll most likely go bother someone else. Give a Troll some sort of reaction and their need is temporarily satisfied until they need another "fix". If they get a hit from you, they know where to come back to for more...

Happy reading and, above all, happy caching!

Where has this sudden irritating trend for using "fora" as the plural for "forum" come from. I think the correct plural is "forums" but I couldn't swear to it. Anybody know the answer?

I thought I would chip in the answer because Jeremy probably isn't going to talk to you given the event that is happening in Cardiff tomorrow! icon_wink.gif

I should hope not icon_mad.gif

 

Btw, how do you lot refresh the forums?

 

I get all mine via email, but I notice you all chat in real time, there is no automatic refresh, so do you just 'refresh' the page?

Go to 'My Cache Page'. Then go to 'Your Account Info'. Enter your password. Scroll down to 'Photo'. Choose 'do so now'. Upload your image. Go back to 'Your Account Info'. Scroll down to 'Your Avatar Image'. Choose the image you've just uploaded. Make sure you've entered your password at the top of the page. Then click the 'Modify your account' button at the bottom. Log out and log in again. Done.

Yep, I know that, and thanx Bill :-)

 

I'm used to forums that have auto refresh so I find this a bit primative having to do it manually :-(

Hurrah for good vibes! icon_biggrin.gificon_biggrin.gif

I'll drink to that!

 

[edit - the good vibes, not the succesful avatar. Though it is very nice icon_smile.gif]

 

[edit again - I was talking about the previous avatar. Though obviously the current one is nice too. Well done on getting it to work!]

Oooooooh it's changed my previous picture. Oh well, for those that want to recognise me on Sunday, this is me. Probably take this avatar off soon though as it's too scary!

I'm not sure whether to take that as a compliment (hey yeah! I'm with the youth of today!) or an insult (do I really sound THAT immature??) frog.gif
