What's upsetting you today? - Page 76

Thanks, Ali.

yes, overland is ludicrously unreliable in most countries. Like you say, usually at least 6 weeks. And that's why it just wasn't an option for this year and I was preaching about keeping the packets light. If you want back in, it's no problem, but it will have to be airmail. Or something bought mail order from the country of your recipient....

...and santa takes care of everybody, so don't worry -I'm sure everybody who has been good will get something

(those who've been bad already got theirs

)

I'll just sit this one out. but thanks for the thought.

Griff · 11-27-2007, 05:38 PM

today? The barrage when I click new posts. I'm getting used to clicking User CP but I know I'm missing good stuff. I was really lucky to notice that the wolf is back on the prowl.

Cloud · 11-27-2007, 05:50 PM

lots of posts upset you? why do you click User CP? I only click that when I want to change my signature or something.

Sundae · 11-27-2007, 06:14 PM

It is moving fast tonight - I only have the laptop til HM wakes up on the sofa and decides to go to bed (or I get tired and go to bed myself)

I'll be gutted if I don't get to the top of the new posts list by then!
Still, it's mostly the same threads in their death spasms I think.

Also don't get why you click User CP btw

lookout123 · 11-27-2007, 06:17 PM

user CP lists the threads in reverse chronology that people have posted in after you have. Easy way to follow up on something you were involved in.

New Posts lists all threads with new posts since your last visit.

Cloud · 11-27-2007, 06:18 PM

hmm. I'll try that, thanks! I always just click new posts.

ETA: No, I don't click New Posts. I click Quick Links--Today's posts.

2 new things to try!

Griff · 11-27-2007, 06:25 PM

I find too many threads started by one particular person annoying because I know when one of you has something important and true to say, I'll probably miss it. It was suggested to me that if I click User CP I can look at the threads I'm already subscribed to so I don't accidentally ignore someone, but I'll miss the new stuff.

The fact that I can't be happy.

monster · 11-27-2007, 11:59 PM

why can't you be happy?

ZenGum · 11-28-2007, 12:07 AM

Hi Ameliabedelia!

Welcome to the cellar
And

sit down and have a cup of tea/coffee/whiskey. What's up? Or what's down, as the case may be?

Be warned, though, people ARE going to shorten your username. It sounds like something Harry Potter would say.
If you have a particular shortening you prefer, out with it now.

Oh, right.
Thanks.
I thought it was a spell to turn you into a pioneering aviatrix who promptly disappears.
