nudged 16/06/2005 22:17:53 how do they do it?

I went back to read 'Use of the Tips Board' and it has gone, it was there a few minutes ago. Vickie

I really must be quite thick. I've been a member of this site since Jan 2003, and I've only just now realised how you would delete a nudge. To the culprit, whoever you are, you really must be a bit sad If this is the only way you can find to amuse yourself. I think it's time to get a life. Christine.

Having said that, it (Phantom nudging )only appears to be annoying on the general topics board, On the TIPS board and RECORDS OFFICE boards it is mostly recommended because it the shortens the threads without them being cluttered. There have also been instances of controversial and/or out of date( by a long way) threads being ressurrected in this way Bob

Good explanation Bob....I'm sure it's not something that can be done by accident. Jacquie xxx

Thanks for explaining that Bob. Love and Peace Marianne.xxxx

Marianne its not too easy to nudge, by mistake........usually its a decisive action, designed to jumpstart a thread to page one,after it has been apparently dormant for a while. Bob Unless, you enter a reply that later you wish you hadnt, then you can delete it! However phantom nudging is mischievously bumping a thread trying to avoid leaving a trace of who actually did the nudge.

Its all very frustrating this not knowing. I some times wonder if its possible to `nudge` by mistake. As a self confessed Silver Surfer (who is not very PC literate) I wonder if I `nudge` by mistake. Is that possible or would you be able to tell? Love and Peace Marianne.xxxx

Agreed.....depends on the thread!!!!! Jacquie xxx

I often 'Phantom nudge' a thread...but only for the right reasons (IE: not to stir trouble) sometimes I delete my post sometimes I leave the nudge. (no im not the norty phantom nudger of old GR Board...) It may be an interesting or important thread so it is nudged to be seen again. I personally havent phantom nudged threads of late because there has been no need to.. I left my nudge this morning on my abbriviations thread. What im trying to say is, If one person gets caught doing that, they will be labelled the phantom nudger and will be under suspicion for every bad phantom nudge on the board. When in fact many people nudge and remove their posts as not to clutter the thread Elaine x

Hi Fen Tiger Perhaps you should re-name yourself Fen the 'Phantom Nudger Catcher' Tiger lol!!! Joan ;-)) P.S. You can't give us all a tiny clue even? lol!!

Jeanette, Go to 'Tips Board' & look under 'Use of the Tips Board' thread by GR team then look at postings for the 10/6 & you will see what I mean......! Joan ;-)

Joan Is that on the tips board yesterday, gone today? Or have I got the wrong end of the stick! lol

A little clue...... 'Use of the Tips Board' on the Tips board yesterday lol!! Joan ;-)
