hippo girl 1,995 Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 Funnily enough we were talking about all three last night Compo.....hope they are Ok along with Babs ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,467 Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 There are literally hundreds of ex-members who never post. There is a massive list of people who registered, made one (or less) posts, and never come back again. And I'd never heard of Scooter Sam before. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chulla 4,946 Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 As I have reported elsewhere, I met Jackson at the 2014 Crane School reunion, and subsequently posted a picture of her. With the meet-up about to happen I twice went round to her place, hoping to persuade her to come along, join in the fun and get back into her stride again. Sadly, no-one answered the door, but she was probably out somewhere. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hippo girl 1,995 Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 Scooter Sam was living in the Parkview court flats in sneinton .....she has registered under different names ( always sam ) but was interested in the history of the flats and Victoria baths...........she also lived in Radford and posted about her area..... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Merthyr Imp 729 Posted May 7, 2015 Report Share Posted May 7, 2015 And good old TYAFANS - hope he hasn't been abducted by aliens. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,467 Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 He has a website which used to be a live link on his posts. The link doesn't work any longer but his site is still online, although it doesn't seem to have been updated for a couple of years - which coincidentally is when he last posted here.

carni 10,094 Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 I did have a look on Ancestry.com at the Births and Deaths: to see if I could find out if a Peter Dome from Sheffield was registered in either. I couldn't find anything, so I thought perhaps it was not his proper Name or age. It's a shame we don't know, but if he is still around, I wish him well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

katyjay 5,091 Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 Chulla saw Jackson after she stopped posting, I think she had dropped her wi-fi. Not sure about piggy and babs, but they do post every now and again on FB. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 Or 1. Tomlinson. 2. Melton Stilton. 3. Sussexred. 4. Trevor S. 5. Elaine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Merthyr Imp 729 Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 Don't forget Tyafans - but we can guess what happened to him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,467 Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 If you have nothing better to do for a few minutes, try this............ On the options across the top click - Activity - Search - Member Search. Then over on the left, click Custom. Enter a Start date some time in 2006, and an End date in 2007 (or anything from a while ago). Then click Search Members in the bottom right. Then be amazed at the number of people who registered all those years ago and never made more than 1 or 2 posts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FLY2 10,108 Posted June 5, 2017 Report Share Posted June 5, 2017 As was initially brought up at the time of the relaunch, it falls over unless you wait at least 15 seconds between movements. Basically, it's too bleddy slow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cliff Ton 10,467 Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 They exist but you have to scroll back further down the list to find them. They are quickly swamped by the word games. Yesterday evening at 9pm (14 hours ago as I write this) I added this post in an old thread https://nottstalgia.com/forums/topic/8146-mount-street-bus-station/?page=4&tab=comments#comment-531636 and I'm pleasantly surprised to find it's had 8 "Likes" since then. So there obviously is a market for that kind of thing. People are getting used to having to wade through the trash. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 'Wade through the trash' ! Marvellous ! It's the fault of this new system, and it's inadequecies that is the problem. Under the old system, everything on the same topic was condensed into one section, thereby you only had to click once, and it showed the first unread post. It's high time amendments were made by now instead of the constant griping about word games and suchlike ! Actually, not everyone wants to constantly read about Liberty bodices, recipes, herons and ponds. Where's the Nottingham connection there for Gods sake ? Annoyed ? You're damn right I am. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
plantfit 7,597 Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 Nostalgia-----Nottstalgia. Doesn't exactly do what it says on the tin What about a section only for Nottinghamshire history and interests? Rog 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
