the first box that comes up is for your username. Not being used to this, I have twice now typed out the thread title over the "jinglbellfrocks". Then I have realised that the actual subject box is still there, waiting for the thread title. So...... (swear words ensue)

This is annoying in the extreme.

This is the polite version of this message.

I am invisible on the laptop and grey on the iPad. does this help or confuse further?

@phoenix A bit of fluff's never bothered me, pass 'em round!

Yes the techs changed it so they should be able to change it back. Time for rebellion perhaps. grin

Nellie.
If you go to start a thread, some of us do not have anything at all in the username box. It is blank.

The username box for others is funtioning as it should be , and has the username already there in grey. [which used to be in black, but that is ok, as tech changed it anyway].

Even mention of barley sugar makes me feel travel sick Galen. Bon voyage.

Galen Thu 27-Nov-14 23:43:25

Wot! And I was going to ask for a couple to suck during takeoff tomorrow!
(Does anyone else remember when they used to hand out barleysuger sweets to suck on take off?)

Best to keep it that way, Nellie, what you don't know can't hurt confuse you.

And to anyone requesting a Werthers, I'm sorry to say they've all gone to fluff in my pocket.

Turned out nice again! smile

Can someone please explain to me what this is all about?

I feel I have missed three episodes of a serial and I have no idea what is going on.

Ana Thu 27-Nov-14 22:37:27

Thank you Julie. I am not going to ask why some of us were rendered invisible in the first place...dostopnitpickingAna

Bottoms up sweetheart. smile

JulieGransnet (GNHQ) Thu 27-Nov-14 22:20:28

Yeah. Gin? wine

jinglbellsfrocks Thu 27-Nov-14 22:17:41

Then we'll all be equal again.

Some information for you. The grey names were the result of a formatting change that tech had to do, and that it doesn't affect you and your lovely posts in any way. The names aren't going to be made black again, but we'll ask tech if the ones with no names can be restored to grey names in the morning. The important bit is that it doesn't actually affect how you post at all.

Ana Thu 27-Nov-14 21:01:54

Those damn emoticons again! smile

jinglbellsfrocks Thu 27-Nov-14 21:00:18

I was joking! grin

Ana Thu 27-Nov-14 20:40:47

Yes, sorry for the hijack.

jinglbellsfrocks Thu 27-Nov-14 20:37:51

" it's going round and round and back again."

Yes. Well. It was my thread to start with. hmm

Ana Thu 27-Nov-14 20:37:44

Phew! grin (to Ana)

Ana Thu 27-Nov-14 20:35:26

'quality'

Ana Thu 27-Nov-14 20:34:40

Don't blame me for the qualities of the emoticons, jingl! grin

Julie some of our names are not there at all. Not even 'a faint grey colour'. Completely invisible.

That's all I'm going to say on this subject, it's going round and round and back again...

jinglbellsfrocks Thu 27-Nov-14 20:30:09

wink Ana !!!
