Re: Virus Warning
Sorry I missed that VM, and thanks for the tip.Personally I don't mind if nobody replies to any thread I put up, some I can't reply to as I wouldn't know enough about it, like football, I like it but know nothing about it and when I see grown Men (who say they know all about it) in the pub nearly coming to blows over some game or another, it doesn't encourage me to follow it. So you can all feel free to ignore me if you like, I'll still be a happy Man.

Re: Virus Warning
I'm pleased to get a reply to a post; not upset if I don't. Not everything I post is of interest to everyone, people often miss a day checking the forum ... (some of you have lives!
!) Some don't have an opinion, or care enough to post about it. Que sera, sera!

I never saw your link either but did wonder what you had threw a Paddy about this time though !
You seem to be very short fused VM

Have you tried asking her to ?
Is she clairvoyant ?
I`m quite sure if you asked her to , or asked Admin to intervene on your behalf the person would be happy to oblige , after all there are some very witty , funny and intelligent Posters here for her to engage with , and i`m quite sure ignoring you wouldnt be a problem for her
Or do you just like to drag your personal grievences and spiteful , nasty posts all over the Forum ?

Most folks wouldn't have even seen it in that short space of time, I for one certainly wouldn't as I am not logged on during those hours, yet it's all our fault? What is your problem?

After a couple of hours then it is quite possible to have 50 views but perhaps only half a dozen member views, and do you respond to every thread that you view? I think not.....
Also, not everyone is interested in what goes on at/or uses facebook (me included) so your thread may have been of zero interest to x amount of users (probably most of us here).
Finally, if no-one replies, so what - I post threads all the time with little or no replies sometimes. You just have to accept that your posting didn't inspire a response - and that's fine because not all do.

Incidentally VM please don't get upset, it didn't take me long to learn that when I post on forums that is the equivalent to the kiss of death for that thread,
and I hardly ever bother to look at the 'views' number ever since I discovered that 'views' are mostly these 'bot' things (Whatever they are) and not real people.TBH I think you need to allow 24 hours for responses from real people and if nothing I've noticed that some people do a 'jump up' or 'rise to the top' type post.
