If you need a thread deleted, please contact myself or one of the moderators and we will do it for you.

Ok - Could you take this one down for me - House prices to keep rising for years - I made a typo somewhere.

Now you said if you NEED a thread deleted, and I really need this deleted, and you also said you WILL do it.

Thanks.........

Believe me, with the rubbish that goes on in that thread, I'm getting very close to deleting it anyway.

Hi Joe

Thanks for the heads up regarding this thread!

I'm having a ball here at ASF, thanks guys!

My next question relates to quotes I see at the bottom of posts,
obviously not typed in fresh for each post. How do I do it?

My suggestions:
Spell checker?
"How to do" buttton on Home page ?
Chat window to moderator?

Please explain "sticky"

Please, how do I get an avatar without breaching copywrite?

I was thinking "beagle boys" or similar!

Instead of clicking the "New Reply" button, click the "Quote" button in the post you are responding to and it will automatically be quoted in your reply.

If you would like the quote multiple posts, click the "MultiQ" button in each post you would like to respond to. Then click the "New Reply" button at the bottom of the page to start your reply.

My suggestions:
Spell checker?

Coming soon.

"How to do" buttton on Home page ?

Possibly in the future.

Chat window to moderator?

Unfortunately this is not really feasible. Moderators are unpaid volunteers and help manage the forum only when they have the time.

These are the posting rules for particular forums and let you know what you are able to do.

Please explain "sticky"

A "sticky" thread is one that is pinned to the top of the first page of the list of threads in a particular forum for higher visibility.

I don't think you will run into any copyright issues with avatars.

burglar thanks Joe Blow for his response!

I made a blue in one question though! Sorry.

"My next question relates to quotes I see at the bottom of posts,

Perhaps I should not have used the word quotes but the word Proverb or Saying instead.

Hi Burglar,

I have gone ahead and removed one of the double posts.

After you post, you have a 20 minute window of opportunity to edit or delete your post. Just click on the "Edit" button at the bottom right of your post. After 20 minutes this button disappears and the post can no longer be modified or removed.

Hi Joe, I know you can bump, but I can't remember if I am allowed to bump.

Thanks,
burglar

Hi Joe, I know you can bump, but I can't remember if I am allowed to bump.

No bumping stocks threads unless new content is added.

For other threads, please explain your reasons for bumping it when you do so.

Hi Joe,
How do I know if someone has replied to a post I have made on a thread? Is there some way I can link to it once posted?? Or do I have to search it again?

Thanks

Dan

Hi Dan,

There's no way you can tell if someone has replied to a specific post. However, if you subscribe to a thread you can be notified by email when someone adds a post to it.

To subscribe to a thread, click on the "Thread Tools" drop down menu at the top of each page of a thread and select "Subscribe to this Thread", then choose from instant, daily or weekly email notifications.

Hope that helps.

 

[ugotdan]

Yup, got it!

Thanks Joe.

Great site, love the smilies : is there some history behind ASF?
Seems like quite an extensive website.

Cheers,

Dan
