BilboroughShirley 1,120 Posted September 10, 2015 Report Share Posted September 10, 2015 When I saw this thread heading I thought it was about famous quotes. A favourite amuses me is by Winston Churchill who answered a woman who accused him of being drunk: "I may be drunk, Miss but in the morning I will be sober and you will still be ugly!" Nice one! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted September 11, 2015 Report Share Posted September 11, 2015 Re # 10 and 12. I think that there has been a hiccup. I reckon 1000 have vanished. Well a few. Come on, play fair. Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 Come on matey, play fair. Restore my correct total. I was within two hundred of Mick. I don't set out to beat him, it's just that I've got so much to say. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

FLY2 10,108 Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 I just want my correct total restoring, that's all ! It can't be that difficult surely to God. Link to post Share on other sites

Stan 386 Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 as far as i know ...no-one has played with the totals....to be honest I dont even know if it's possible.......i was just pickin' on you. lol This seems an appropriate moment to `quote'(can`t remember doing that before). therefore. If one has commenced 371 topics how is it possible to have a hundred or so entries? Where did my 4000 or so go? Approaching almost 10 years with you mob ,can anyone explain if Fynger can`t?

TRD 196 Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 I don't understand why quotes are frowned upon, they're used plenty on other forums. Is it a cost thing? An explanation would be appreciated and we can then perhaps sympathize and conform. At the moment it seems like a few don't like them so we all have to toe the line. Link to post Share on other sites

An explanation would be appreciated and we can then perhaps sympathize and conform. At the moment it seems like a few don't like them so we all have to toe the line. I'm now typing an example of what we don't want. Situations where someone quotes the previous post in order to reply to it. When this happens, it means that everything is repeated. Every post that someone makes is copied into the next post, so the whole Nottstalgia database becomes twice as big as it should be, in half the time. And the amount of space it occupies is something which mick2me has to pay for. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
MargieH 7,599 Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 Is it expensive? Is there a way to send voluntary 'subs' to help fund it? Link to post Share on other sites
benjamin1945 16,139 Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 Leave it out Margie,.......just don't do it..!!! lol. Link to post Share on other sites
DJBrenton 738 Posted September 14, 2015 Report Share Posted September 14, 2015 Indeed. that's one of my gripes with not being allowed to quote. Firstly, who cares what it costs. Storage space is peanuts these days and if Mick doesn't want to pay more I'm sure we'd all chip in to make the forum more usable. As regards being more usable, I can't be the only one who finds having to go back to find out what #4 on a previous page was so I can understand the point really annoying. It's quite simple. Tell us what 3 times the dtabase size would cost and then we'll chip in to cover it. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
