This is twice now in the last hour the GB Relay thread has been nudged. But no one has posted. Really baffled now. Jenny x

wasn't me !

Could it be Gaynor Bear, determined to keep in the limelight:))

i know thioos is a dumb ? but how do they nudge,xx joy

Noticed about 15 mins ago the thread was on page one. went to latest reply first and last post was one that I read earlier and thought nothing of it. Then noticed five mins ago someone else had added, at 23.01pm. Yet again last post was 16.05pm. Hope no one is trying to stir up trouble. Jenny. x

hiya jenny, hope you are well, they are numbtys, first class x

I don't see how a thread about GB could cause trouble Jenny. I wouldn't worry about it:))

helloooooooo can someone answer my question please,i honestly dont know,and ive been doing genes for a year,xxx joy

Joy Nudgeing refers to when you add to a thread simply to get it back to the top of the page again, often by just putting the word 'nudge' in. The phantom nudger does this but then deletes that nudge, so that the thread goes to the top but noone can tell who did it. Paul

I believe that they add something Joy and then delete it. Then the time shows but not the message. If I've got that wrong I'm sure someone will explain better.

Mommy Jenny, I agree with Chrissie GB Relay thread surely wouldn't cause any problems, I wouldn't worry about it either. Joy we have some sad people on here that really do need to get a life they delight in nudging Paul and Chrissie I see kindly esplained it, these so called phantom nudgers do this normally when there is a disagreement on the boards and they just look for threads that will add fuel to the fire. They are also known as Saddos :-( Pat x

oh right,thanks for explaining ,i cant see the point of them doing this ,if theres nothing to read when they get there,[or am i being thick again],lolxxx joy

I would be proud to get nudged by the Phantom, it means someone is taking notice of you lol Ken xx

It's never really made much sense to me Joy either:))

Sorry Joy for an example there could be a disagreement on a certain topic and this topic has been covered before on another thread the Phantom Nudger goes and looks for a thread pertaining to that and nudges it often causes uproar. Pat x Ken not the best way to be remembered really is it? LOL.

What I can never understand Pat though is, why doesn't the person who started the original thread delete it? That way it couldn't cause trouble. Or am I being thick now:))

well i reckon the phantom nudger has done a good thing tonight coz i now know what it means and ive been lucky enough to spend time with you lot ,so THANKS PHANTOM,lolxxxxxxxx joy

With a thread like the GB relay it will soon get cluttered by messages with little or no meaning,reaching page 20 and then needing to use the Latest reply first button. by deleting these, you can save page space. its the same with a nudge, on a deserving thread, brings the thread to the top. I do not advocate nudging controversial threads..but light hearted ones are fair game....... anyway, on the tips and records boards.........it is recommended..within reason, of course. Bob

hi chrissie there can only be one thicko on here and thats me trust me ,when god gave out brains i think he sold me short of a few,lol xxx joy

Chrissie I totally agree with you if ever any threads have been nudged by the phantom they should never be allowed to stay on general. GR should have a out of date policy on threads incase others prefer not to delete them. Oh by the way every thread has a number if you want Joy you can jot down the number of your thread and phantom nudge it by putting the number inthe address bar. Wonder if that is why the phantom is so hard to catch? Pat x
