RE: BabyApe's Thread. The discussion has brought to light many issue, I would suggest though, if you can smell someone, it is best to tell them about it to their face - this may be one of the few cases where The AnswerBank is not the best medium of communication.

Clanad - The techies have the bold/italics stuff on the list, they have a few "larger" site issues to deal with first before we move on to that. Hopefully we can get you something like it as a Christmas present? Don't quote me on that however!

We are trying to reply to all "Contact Us" emails; some will slip through the net due to the frantic nature of the last few weeks or be ignored because the correspondence is questionable in its tone. It does not particularly apply to this group but: "Anyone "shouting" at a member of the editorial team is unlikely to receive a reply, those that do will find it sarcastic and unhelpful."

There are several issues like this still outstanding. As to the responses on: http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/Answerbank-Suggestions/Question807424.html I feel "Bad" language need not be used on the site, I have before mentioned that there will be a filter but we do not know when - I am unsure where "mushroom25" gets his/her reading of the situation from. Shawnee, I am unsure what your issue is with the Site Rules: yes those are the Site Rules and we act upon them as required - if a long time user posts something out of character (which they will regret in the morning) we wi

Except I cant find what I wrote. Hmm. This may be an issue.

Can you please de-clutter your Database as a lot of Questions and Answers are long past their sell-by-date. Some people are trawling the Archives and dredging up unanswered Questions which do not seem to me to be relevant any more. The original Poster could well be deceased, that's how far back some of the Questions go !!! lol
Your database must be like a house full of clutter and could do with a good spring clean!!!

[AB Editor]

We like our database, it is like the loft - full of stuff and I'm scared to go in there incase I find something worrying.

All the best,

Spare Ed

Still can't understand why there are no lines inbetween the answers!

[redman41]

LOL Mr.Ed !
You should take the contents onto Dickinsons' Real Deal or Flog it !!!! lol

[funnygirl]

It would be nice to have a line or even a gap between posts!

This makes my eyes go funny!!!!

[yinyang]

Helllo smudge.

The lines between the answers are showing ok on my screen. Shall I send some of them over for you to use? : )

[funnygirl]

They are very faint though!
