Lesley the main thread is on all 3 boards at the moment but as long as it's on one of them over christmas I'll be happier. Thread is Are You Being Ripped Off? the Free Gen thread is less important readly. |

Hi Lunar, As I said before, I'm not against nudging, just against nudging all the time so that you cannot see anything else but nudged threads. If you let me know which one, I'll nudge it every now and again for a limited period when I'm available. Is it going to be on just this board? x LESLEY PS are you counting down to Christmas with the Doctor Who advent calendar on the BBc website. (even better than chocolate advent calendars) |

Thats fair enough, as I said, none of the threads are not worthy of a nudge.... |

Teresa, I know I don't need to appologies but just incase anyone does get cheesed of seeing my old threads on 3 boards again i'm apologising in advance. (Will nudge: Certificate rip offs and free software threads) |

Lunar, I'll say again, nobody needs apologise for nudging any thread, I am not picking on anyone. I am talking about the numbers of old threads being brought up all at the same time, it is very offputting. |

I aggree nudging to often just fustrates everybody and you end up being ignored. So please accept my appologies in advance for my marathon of nudges of threads for newbies that will happen on Friday pm - as I'm off home and don't want peeps being ripped of whilst researching this festive season. :o)) Lunar |

*giggling* I have yet to see a thread announcing someone departure to the loo, but I know what you mean. However there have been some serious topical discussions, such as the Ipswich murders which have suddenly dropped off page 1 because of all the nudges. THAT is what I am talking about. |

It is difficult Tw i agree, when you look on the first page and so many threads are nudged, when so many are so important it is very difficult, Elaine, threads which seem trivial can be fun too surely? Caz xxxx |

As I said yesterday, I'm not against nudging threads, however my opinion is that there have been times lately where so many threads have been nudged at roughly the same time just to keep them on page 1 (by different people on different subjects, albeit worthy subjects) that there have hardly been any active threads on the board ie where there is new conversation. This isn't aimed at individual threads or individual people. Many people do it for worthy reasons. I still think that these threads should be nudged but not so for the purpose of keeping them on page 1 ALL the time. This is just my opinion and as I said yesterday I'm not the boss of these boards lol |

Elaine Yes I did, but not too often I hope. But when the board got flooded with hundred of the bloomin things I have stopped. As I said, I'm not trying to say these threads are not worthy, or that they shouldn't be nudged at all. But do they ALL need to be nudged up at the same time, thus ousting threads that, while may not interest some, DO interest others and are currently active? |

To be honest, theres nothing stopping members nudging other threads to the top to save them getting lost. Threads which are saying is so and so there and im going for a wee Etc are far more irritating and in my opinion clutter the board up far more than the nudge threads. But there is room on the board for all, however irritating the thread/s are... Ps Teresa, diddnt you used to add to Lyndas Nudge thread yourself ?? E x :o))) |
