Thanks Gx4.  Next question ... where's the Members List - I've been scratching around for it but can't find it.  Is it hiding in plain sight?

There is no longer a members list as such. You can search for members using the search box in the top right and if you leave the form blank it'll show you everybody.

But where's my Maggstype rank badge?

As you have reached the heady heights of 500 posts, you can set your own title by editing your profile.

So a Contributor has the shackles removed ... can an 'ordinary' member apply for this promotion to 'the officer class'?

I've removed everybody's shackles. Hard drives are cheap these days

Signing in from my phone just now was problem free (as was from my desktop pc earlier)

I think we've gotten to the bottom of Maggie's log in problem via email.

However, an unfinished and unsent message (created during the wee small hours mentioned in an earlier post) was lying in wait for me just now;  it hadn't been saved so I don't know how it's entrails remained wriggling around waiting for me to finish it off.

This is by design. Replies you start are saved in draft form (locally on your computer if your browser supports it). Nothing is published or leaves your own computer until you click the submit button however.

I have tried everything Fourgee .

I guarantee you haven't

Which browser are you using so I can provide instructions to properly clear out the autofill info.

Please also email me the username and password you are trying to log in with.

Every single time you have to say 'I have forgotten my password'.

Do you see any error messages when you try to log in? I think what's happening is your browser has your old password stored and is filling out the form fields with the old info. If you clear the fields and type in your new username/password does it work?

Which browser do you use so I can provide instructions on how to clear that autofill info? It will be internet explorer, firefox, chrome or safari most likely.

Thanks everyone

I wonder if this thread contributed to their recent decision to open a store here

How many apply to Bedders?

Great stuff. Going to have to do some work on the Calendar app for all these new events.

My last post is awaiting Mod approval....methinks "Axes" struck a bad chord.........[chord......ugh!]

no, all posts in northumberland chat are approved as it is open to guests posting.

It's getting a bit like the Daily Hate where even mildly offensive, or even non offensive, words are being swapped for asterisks/dots or being 'airbrushed' out. It's a bit like living in a toytown version of China or North Korea.  I did say, "Be afraid, be very afraid".

As has been mentioned in the past the profanity filter is automated, there is no sinister censorship plot here   The filters exist only to remind members that this is a site for all ages. As with anything automated there is a chance that some false positives will slip through and as the list is externally sourced it will at times be a little over-zealous.

I just started watching this. So far so good. This is also a good look behind the scenes.

Just in time for the hols........if they do exit bet we are all heading for Greece for our hols soon!

Bring your own plates.

3) There is a letter from Simon Tyler in which he claims to have 'noticed an increasing number of doom and gloom letters concentrating on Bedlington'

He goes on to state that 'from the small amount of research he has conducted there is a plan for Bedlington'

 

Is this Simon Tyler the mayor? If so it's disgraceful he has only done a "small amount of research".

I just had an interesting chat with some sixth formers with posters outside UKIP Bedlington HQ. Good to see them getting their views across. Even though in my opinion they misunderstood a few key problems and their core message was a bit misguided and influenced by their opinions of some UKIP supporters not necessarily UKIP policies, they did a good job of constructing well formed arguments. I'm sure we'll see them again and I invited them to discuss their views on here.

If I recall correctly the shutter restriction is still in place as part of the conservation area guidance but it calls for internally mounted shutter boxes not the restriction of shutters themselves.

The adverts are in rotation. Each appears randomly.

Maybe somebody got tired of throwing things over the top?

In hand Merc......

Are you getting a 260px wide image for the sidebar Malcolm? I can add one using that poster but the small print will be unreadable at that resolution.
