    In saying that, I do hope people might post their preferred websites under the new video.
  • Grandmother Goose Grandmother Goose:
    If links are a problem, then don't have links, maybe just give the full proper name of the company and its location so people can google them?
  • Grandmother Goose Grandmother Goose:
    Actually, posting under the new video would be an ideal place to put that sort of info. I'll go and make a comment with my little list of where I've bought stuff from now.

    I look forward to your recommendations :D
  • Mandy Onderwater Mandy Onderwater:
    And links are generally good! It helps people out a lot. It's just that I don't have the time to necessarily mantain it and keep it up to date 24/7

    How is everyone doing this fine weekend? :D
  • Grandmother Goose Grandmother Goose:
    Cold. Rainy... well, rain has stopped now but everything is still mud. And cold. And wet.
  • Mandy Onderwater Mandy Onderwater:
    It's gotten cold here too as of last night. Well, compared to the past few weeks. It was about 12C 😇 :ROFL:
  • Mandy Onderwater Mandy Onderwater:
    It got down to 10C last night, I could finally keep the windows open as it was dry and use my warm blanket 😍
  • Mandy Onderwater Mandy Onderwater:
    Last night our dog puked over the warm blankets :thumbsdown: It lasted a day.
  • Grandmother Goose Grandmother Goose:
    I'm a sympathy vomiter, not good it happened to you, not good it happened to anyone, but very glad it didn't happen to me or I would have puked all over the warm blankets as well.
  • Mandy Onderwater Mandy Onderwater:
    I was gagging with every step of cleaning up 😷
  • D daveb:
    another option if the set up allows it make it so members under a certain length or time or level cannot post web links
  • Mandy Onderwater Mandy Onderwater:
    @daveb we used to have that in the past actually. Only it was causing issues and glitches among new members. And it meant that they had to find other ways, like uploading in the Media channel, etc. And sometimes they do create accounts and only post on them a month later. I must say, their dedication to spam is surprisingly large.
  • D daveb:
    well most of the accounts that spam are bots , so about only other way would be a verifier, there are numerous styles and types buyt thats a bit of a rework of site
  • Mandy Onderwater Mandy Onderwater:
    True, It's just that some of the members are part of an aging population that aren't too tech savvy. Verifyers can be too hard on some of the members I've seen, and I will do my best to keep the forum as accessible to all ages as possible

  • Mandy Onderwater Mandy Onderwater:
    How is it that the weekend always seems to go by so fast?
  • Mandy Onderwater Mandy Onderwater:
    I might be unavailable tomorrow (and possibly the day after). But don't fret! I shall be back :p
  • Mandy Onderwater Mandy Onderwater:
    It's almost the weekend! How are we all doing?
  • Grandmother Goose Grandmother Goose:
    I'm good. Finally got a new hot water system installed, and in doing so learned that the condition of the frame of my roof is a lot better than anticipated, looks like someone rebuilt most of the roof but put the old corrugated iron back over it so looks terrible but isn't. I might be able to get solar panels by this time next year! [does a happy dance]
  • Mandy Onderwater Mandy Onderwater:
    That's a nice surprise! I'm so happy for you :yahoo:
  • Mandy Onderwater Mandy Onderwater:
    I won't be available for the remainder of today as it's my birthday :birthday:
