Cliff Ton 10,505 Posted July 8, 2011 Report Share Posted July 8, 2011 By quite a long way, this is the greatest number of threads active since I've been looking here Never seen it go to 2 pages before Has nobody got anything better to do, or is everybody just hyperactive?

Cliff Ton 10,505 Posted May 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 And today the biggest set of numbers since I've been around here Quote Link to post Share on other sites
piggy and babs 544 Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 great news but perhaps the weather keeping people in more and on here more but its nice to see anyway Quote Link to post Share on other sites
.... 23 Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 It's great to see! I think as Mick alludes to above the difference is definitely the injection of a little new blood and different perspectives - both from our friends abroad and new friends more local to home. I think this inspires longer-standing members to offer new views. There also seems to be a good chemistry between the members community too - better than I've seen it in my time here dare I say. As always, thanks to all for providing knowledge and interest and making this an entertaining and informative place to visit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 Every time I come on here I find something that jogs the old memory. It's a great site. They say that nostalgia ain't what it used to be - well I reckon it is, and more besides. !jumping! Pity the jumping man emoticon never works. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jackson 301 Posted May 1, 2012 Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 'Jogs the old memory', a good point there Compo. The things I'd forgotten mentioned on here and the past returns. It's like a trigger to other things . . . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Compo 10,328 Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 The post I made in this thread last night jogged my memory of a Whale in Nottingham. Turns out that the very same subject is being discussed in the forum 'Nottingham by Era' at the moment! Mega coincidence I think. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 You are right Stu. There are also many members who still read daily even if they don't post. Some that used to be regulars have emailed me directly with material. The best way to jog your memory is to use the advanced search COG Button next to the search box top right. Ensure the search is set to all forums not just current thread or other search. Its only down to the quality of the membership and the content they produce, that we have not died a death like many other forums. We are in our 8th year now. Keep it up people.

.... 23 Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 The best way to jog your memory is to use the advanced search COG Button next to the search box top right. Ensure the search is set to all forums not just current thread or other search. I do this but don't always find it successful. I liked your tip about searching for the subject - along with the word 'Nottstalgia' - in Google, and have had some success with that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mick2me 3,033 Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Yes the internal search could be better. But We are well rated and visited by Google so that method works pretty well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cliff Ton 10,505 Posted May 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 When I kick-started this thread yesterday, it had had about 150 views in 10 months. It has now had 230 more in 24 hours Quote Link to post Share on other sites
katyjay 5,091 Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Paulus, I'd already chopped a few trees down, made a campfire and sang a few songs around it, whilst drinking cowboy coffee, and fought off a few injuns, so thought I'd take a shufty at the site.

.... 23 Posted May 4, 2012 Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 Looking at the Users Online area, I note that a thread I've just posted on immediately has eight listings for 'Facebook' reading it. How does that work, is it somebody logging in through Facebook? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cliff Ton 10,505 Posted May 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2012 I've noticed that for the last week or so. At the bottom of most threads it seems that 'Facebook' is always there, along with any real people as well. Does it mean that Facebook is permanently connected to this site now? Is that also responsible for the massive increase in the number of "Views" showing on each thread. Looking at items which were started today or yesterday, they already have 300-400 views within less than 24 hours. That number used to be about 20-30. What's different?

Trevor S 2,003 Posted May 5, 2012 Report Share Posted May 5, 2012 Glad some others have noticed Facebook as a User. On this post at the moment, it is showing 7 users and listing just myself and Facebook. Thought for a moment that I was being tracked. You can open up a thread anywhere in this Forum and within a short time, Facebook is shown as a named user with the actual number of users being far more than the named ones; as today. Went to an old post 'Sign of Four Magic Emporium, Derby Rd Nottingham' and just myself to start off with then by the last page, I had company! 8 users and only names listed were myself and Facebook. RGR's latests post shows 8 users, me, RGR and Facebook. Nothing shown in Guests or Anonymous. I am getting paranoid!!!!!!!!!!!! Stop Press....posted this and checked users.....only 2, myself and anonymous. Facebook had disappeared Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Stop Press....posted this and checked users.....only 2, myself and anonymous. Facebook had disappeared It seems to come and go as a User. Still a big number of "Guests", but not an increase in the number of posts, or new members. I don't want Facebook following me around on any site Quote Link to post Share on other sites
