General Chat

[#1]

@shutter I didn't! I marked it as fixed just after the reply was made so there would only have been a handful of replies when I did it. But regardless, the code that sets the icons must apply the 'Fixed' icon after the 'Locked' one.

Ah well,... the mysteries of "code".... .... wonder if we will ever get the answer to the other question.....

Can we have an update, please, on whether General Chat is going to be re-instated,

This reminds me of the bad old days on ebay's forum. Lots of problems with trouble makers. Instead of getting rid of them the mods tended to side with them, supported by the forum admin.

It all came to a head with a lot of name calling which the admin unbelievable started. Of course when many retaliated they were all banned. Which I expect was the object of the exercise.

That's a problem with aliases. Who exactly were the trouble makers that they seemed to get so much support. Of course there were many very obvious answers to that with ebay employee's being top. Over there at least the forum admin came clean in the end by joining in and firmly showing his support for those that were causing all the problems.

Those in charge weren't the the solution to the problem. They were the problem. Thankfully they have all long since been confined to the dustbin of time.

I 'd like to think that there's no parallel to this board. I'd like to.

No it wasn't, not sure where you got that idea from.

To quote an old saying.....

"The proof of the pudding..................... "

Further proof that you DID lock it..... despite your denials....   click on the linky to that thread...  and READ and INWARDLY DIGEST .. what you said....

Perhaps you can be sure, now, where I got the idea from....  ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?? ?

Probably just forgot - nobody can remember everything. I can rarely remember my dinner from the day before.

@Mook  so .. you marked it as "fixed"... After.... it was "Locked"... therefore the padlock was "replaced" by the "Tick" for it being fixed  ? ? ?  sounds logical...

BUT... (as you said.)...  ----->   this icon is applied after the locked icon which is why you don't see it.

 how come you were able to reply  *fixed*  to a previously "locked" thread  ? ? ? ? 

Looks to me like the ticked icon now takes priority over the locked one - irrespective of time either are set. That's a pretty simple and logical explanation which makes sense to me.

@7up    Surely, someone who is an experienced Mod, would double check to make sure of his facts before posting , rather than relying on memory.... 

It would not have taken long... he could have referred to  "message101".. which clearly showed the "lock" situation.

Or he could have just checked the Thread List and clicked on the thread showing his name against your thread with the "padlock".

 Either way.   . it is an embarrassing situation for a MOD to be in  ...

which is probably why he has declined further comment or apology for his erroneous post saying        "  It wasn`t me guv...... "

[#9]

Well there are so many nonsense threads about chat that have been locked lately it was hard to keep track of which thread you were on about and you didn't explicitly link to it.
So yes I did close that one and Mav closed another one.

Seriously? dvorak this, dvorak that, dvorak, dvorak, dvorak...

The guy forgot. It's pretty bl**dy clear, everyone makes mistakes - including YOU who pushed too far and shut down GC in the first place with that pickfords thread.

Not content with that you're now taking it out on him at every opportunity in here.
