I was trying to remember what it's called when someone Google's their own name. All I can find is "vanity google" & "ego surf" - but those aren't the one I'm thinking of. Anyone know what it's called? I'm not sure if it's just a UK expression, or used in other countries as well. .

The Banking & Loans link used to be in the Control Panel list, down the left-hand side along with the others such as Settings, Subscribed Threads, & Project Tools. But the Check link which you mention (is this new?) is much more accessible & intuitive in it's location, so top marks to you...

3 out of 4 correct. We call them lemons as well. And more & more people in England are saying cookies instead of biscuits now. That's the American world-wide influence for you. You're right. And "grey" not "gray" etc. Also when you say "Americans are the greatest" we spell it differently. It...

Sorry, I could probably answer that one for you years ago (when my maths was a bit more fine-tuned!). But now I can only say that you will probably either get 2.0, or you will get infinitely close to 2.0 (which may or may not be the same thing). Perhaps we can throw this question open to the...

Yes, we put our name to it, & then you mis-spelled the words & tampered with the meanings. That's progress! .

Nope. It's there. Look for the + button (bottom-right). I'm not sure how to use it though! Edit: Think I've figured it : use it to toggle all the posts one wishes to quote, then click a quote button. I've always multi-quoted manually by cut-&-paste in the past!

I love a good Name-&-Shame! These guys deserve everything they get. I prefer to earn my credits - it's not as if they're worth a vast amount anyway, so at least it's nice to have the satisfaction of knowing I came by them respectably. To be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if there are a...

I got most of my credits for performing "services" for other members. Perhaps I could have phrased that better! ;);) .

I'm no spammer - since registering 5 months ago, I'm almost at 10k credits & I've only made 124 posts! :spank:. I'm sure, though, that there are others out there with an even higher credit-to-post ratio than me. :) .

Where has the Staff list link gone? I've also noticed that the Banking & Loans link seems to have gone from the Control Panel. There's only 1 place now that I can find the Transaction Log, & that's in ; User Profile, Statistics tab, Credits Check link. The info is still available, but it takes...

Lots of members are going to have to change their signature now. Lines like "Click on the at the top-right corner of this post!" & "Please click my blue-tick" will have to go! Also, I wonder if the Banking & Loans link will come back in the Control Panel. There's only 1 place now that I can...

Lol - I like that one. Re the 1st maths joke: The barman obviously added up the total number of pints required by solving the equation (1 + 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 etc ...to infinity) & realised that the total would come to 2 pints. Famous insults: I never forget a face, but in your case I'll make an...

No, I left school (too many) years ago. I do have the advantage of coming from England though - the home of English! ;) .

Here's my analysis of the Fusion theme ; Pro Fusion : there's far too much of this. Con Fusion : I found it far too confusing. (My play on words. Sorry, probably trying to be too clever for my own good! ;)) .

It seems that the difficulty with jokes on this forum is that we all may live in different countries. Words & phrases may mean different things to different people, or cultural references may get lost on someone not from the same culture. As a result jokes may seem unfunny or not understood at...

. Let's hope inflation doesn't mean that our credits are now worth half what they were this morning! Aw, too bad. You've worked so fast that you've gone & beaten my guesstimated fix time by more than 2.5hrs! Seriously though, superb work Russ. It's nice to know that someone's listening...

:bowdown: Thanks Russ. Speedy work by yourself, & another reminder why we just can't help lovin x10 ! .

So did I. Quite a lot of hassle, though, just to see them! Have you noticed that things keep changing? The Reputation & status icons have just moved to the bottom of the post's window & the avatar is back over on the left (I had commented elsewhere that placing it above the text had meant more...

Job Done! .

No complaints here, just a gentle satire! .
