Thank you for your time










































NOW MAYBE WE WON'T HAVE TO EDIT SO MANY POSTS! :sj:

[rob1963]

I don't know if I'm the only one, but I often have a problem with the multi-quote feature not working.

I sometimes click on several posts to multi-quote, but when I click on post reply, only one of them comes up!

Weird!

:shrug:

[Corabar Steve]

Just make sure they all turn orange when you click them.

[rob1963]

They do...but when I click on post reply, I often only get one of them appear.

I guess there must be forum gremlins at work somewhere.

:bang:

[Corabar Steve]

Never had that problem myself. Strange http://planetsmilies.net/vicious-smiley-1824.gif (http://planetsmilies.net)

[BeerFunk]

Nope, always works for me too.

[Corabar Steve]

Does it have teardrop handles? Maybe that's why Rob can't work it :sj:

I think the general consensus is that if it's working for everyone else and not for you......the problem lies with you. :d

[PropellerHeadCase]

The problem is YOURS! [/Captain Planet voice]

Oohhh...it worked that time!

[Shaun]

I rest my case. :D

[PropellerHeadCase]

Oh, the irony.

[rob1963]

But it often DOESN'T work for me.

I don't understand it, as I have a state of the art computer from ebay... running Windows 98 with 128 ram & a 4 gig hard drive.

Lets be honest...I could never be accused of willy waving!

I can't make any jokes about that, now can I ? It would be like shooting fish in a barrel!;) :D :D

I was on about my other PC. The one that has vista installed on it :D

Come on guys, it's hardly rocket science.

[Corabar Steve]

Come on guys, it's hardly rocket science.

& yet some people still can't grasp the concept.

[Excalibur]

Since no-one else has pointed this out, and since we now have a pedants forum, are we not in a " Dear Pot, Love Kettle " situation here, as a certain member has now posted consecutive posts, rather than editing the penultimate one ? ( unless someone has deleted one, in which case I'm in real trouble :eek: )

No, but the posts were not immediately after each other - they were days apart.

[Excalibur]

No, but the posts were not immediately after each other - they were days apart.

But there are no intervening posts, therefore my post is valid, surely. I see no difference between two minutes and two days in that respect, although I can of course see the line of reasoning. :confused: :confused:

Edit: Does Steve's wording here support my theory?

If you want to add something & nobody has posted since you did.

[Solitaire Events Ltd]

Having just read the rest of the post, I think possibly that Steve was being slightly tongue in cheek when he posted that.

And don't forget rule 27.

"Instructions by the Moderators and Administrators must be followed." :sj:

[PropellerHeadCase]

But the second post quotes the first post and is therefore amusing since both post and quote are by the same individual - merely writing as two consecutive lines would've been dull and uninspired.

[BeerFunk]

May I add that if Steve had merged posts, it would not have shown as a 'new' post, and therefore wouldn't have served as an 'update' or 'reminder' post, as I think he had intended it to.

[Corabar Steve]

The fact that they were a week apart & people will have read the previous post renders that part inapplicable, & as mentioned, if I had just edited the previous post it would not have shown up as a new post & nobody would know it was there.

Previous posts edited for the sake of clarity
