Dunno why I'm asking this as nothing gets acknowledged...

[B00]

Anyhoo...

Is it possible that when we hover our mouses over a question in recent post box over there >>that we can have the facility to see who the question author is?

I'm asking as I've noticed that sometimes a question may appear to be interesting, until i've clicked on it and discovered that the person who asked the question is a known twonk and i've wasted valuble seconds of my life opening that particular question.

Thank you.

lol

[4getmenot]

I cant help that I bore you :-(

[redcrx]

PMSL, thats the second time ive heard the word 'twonk' used today, wonder if it was to describe the same person

[B00]

What ya lolling at?

It's a genuine question!

:-(

[LoftyLottie]

I'm still laughing - such a lovely way with words BOO! ;o)

[redcrx]

lofty, B00 and Ray are great with words, wait til you see 'wazzock' thats one of my all time fave words lol

[whiffey]

Could you post a link please ?

[EDITORS GIMP]

that is a very good point that you make BOO
this would indeed stop twonkers wasting your time.


but no stop making reasonable suggestions,
the answer is no.

[B00]

Well seeing as my post has taken a totally different route than what I intended *sniff*, Mr Boo come out with a word I hadn't heard in years the other day and I still chuckle when I think about it.

Mini Boo was within earshot and he so desperately wanted to swear over something (forgotten what now) and came out with "chuffing 'eck"......I was roaring with laughter.

[4getmenot]

I like pleb

[Lakitu]

Haha, I say chuffing quite regularly!

[China Doll]

I knew twonk would catch on!

And yeah, I agree.

[chappie]

Hey BOO, is it mouses or is it mice? (LOL)

Think it's a great idea!

[Octavius]

Frankly B00 I would even consider hovering over it a waste of your valuable time.

Perhaps above the lined Q, they could retain the 'latest' poster as shown and then below that line include : by (twonk name or non twonk name) in ...Chatterbank... Quizzes & Puzzles etc.

It wouldn't take much imagination or effort even for an AB representative.

[figure]

I think that's a marvelous idea and wished 'that' feature could be added. I know just how you feel, Boo.

[stonemonkey]

Chuffing hell's something I've said for years. Always makes people laugh - don't know why.

[Octavius]

And whilst we are on it, I quite like the detached unemotional feeling we now have from the AB editorial team. It reminds me of the good old days when you just got an anonymous slap on the wrist with no explanation, rhyme or reason. Much less arguing and we all moved on to the next �hot� topic without much ado.

Recent ABEds and subsequent incumbents tried the �nicey nicey� approach and it didn�t work, they just got a load of piffle thrown back at them.

We could do without ABAsks of course, but a little word every now and again is fine if a word is required. Other than that we should all be adult enough to be relatively self-sufficient without involving teacher in every playground scuffle.

Good idea though, avoiding twonks should be on everybody�s �To Do� list.

Octavius, What makes you so sure we still HAVE an editorial and technical team?

I reckon the techies left a while back and took the documentation with them. How else do you explain why faults with the site go unfixed? In particular the 'Search The Site' feature has been broken for at least 2 weeks now. So much else is ignored - it doesn't engender confidence or faith in the support behind the scenes of this site.

Sorry to go off topic B00, but I had to justify the 3 seconds it took to read and click on the link and then the 10 seconds it took to load.

[B00]

rofl, perfectly understood and justified Gen. Now chuff orrf.....;-)

[DaSwede]

Personally I suspect we are the subjects of some kind of Lord Of The Flies-like experiment.

...but it's a good idea, B00.
