Locks 'n bolts

[Robinia]

Can someone tell me the official name of this type of bolt please, I'm sure it must have one.
here
Where have all the old fashioned hardware stores gone?...the nice man in a brown overall & a pencil behind his ear would know what I meant by 'twisty, bolty thingy' (even if it hadn't been invented).

Thanks, Kit... the page generally isn't a problem but the panel I'm in now, typing an answer, seems to have a smaller typeface than the actual page.

[LoftyLottie]

Everything is really big on my screen! This is all so ridiculous!!

[swedeheart]

It's mega size for me too - except for this typing field - but you can change the size temporarily while you're typing.

Well you learn something everyday Kit thankyou.

[Jude123]

Well you learn something every day Kit thanks

[Jude123]

You learn something new everyday Kit thanks. If this comes up 3 times apologies. I don't seem to be able to get my posts on.

[Jude123]

Last try at getting a post on here have had about 5 goes.

they all turn up eventually, Jude, but the new rules require you to make a coffee and wait.

This is 'progress'.

hey a Page 2 link has appeared!

[shaneystar2]

Well I've managed to get an aviator and I can see the text bigger if I use zoom in but I have to look at the page whole screen to be able to see the recently answered Q'S which knocks my bookmarks out .It's too wide and I have to keep scrolling back and forth along the bottom and up and down to see it all if I have bookmarks open and I like them open because I can just open a new tab straightaway for my crossword dicaberries and word finders etc .whilst using AB.
I'll have to invest in a cinemascope screen for my computer at this rate .Why do they have to keep messing about .

[shaneystar2]

This is ridiculous .I did have an aviator when I just posted and now it's disappeared .I can't see a page 2 link either Jno.I give up .Why couldn't they get it right before springing it on us like this all half tack. Does anyone do a proper job anymore .

[netibiza]

Oh dear are we on page two yet, cos I can't find how to get into it!!

[netibiza]

huh - says my answer was posted but it hasn't appeared, am I banned??

[netibiza1]

just seeing if I can post under this name as last 2 posts haven't posted (although it says they have!!)

[woofgang]

looks like we might be getting our aviators back :)

[netibiza]

am just testing to see if I can post

[LoftyLottie]

I can't see past page 1, but I am posting anyway! It says that there are 36 posts on here. Are you all talking to yourself or can some of you see the whole thread. I don't know why I am asking questions because I can't see the answers.

See you when I get back from the frozen wastelands of Northumbria. It's flooded up there at the moment!!!

Love to you all.

[netibiza]

help - can anyone see me? and how do i get passed page 1

[netibiza]

robi, anyone, if you see me, please email me and let me know how to catch you all up!

I have sent a St Bernard to neti (on her oldbiddy address) with instructions on how to get here but I expect she'll just drink the brandy and fall asleep in the snow.
