Sorry about that.
At least you're doing something about it. It's been 8 weeks since Vancouver and yet there are 0 arrests.
I thought they made a few there?
Sorry for the jests!
Nope. Eight cases were sent up to the crown, and they were all rejected. Sent back to the police for "further review".
Whoa! You've certainly been eating your Wheaties!
You know NBVC what would happen if i was still admin here?, title change, new suit of clothes pink and a penance to pay....oooh if only!!!!!!!!!!!!

Im in the UK, Manchester too!, don't be sorry, the mindless thuggery (lol is that a word) on the most part was simply because they could!, the police had their hands tied because they have to abide by some crazy stuff (not looking for a political debate here it's not the time or the place) and were over stretched 99.9% of the population are good law abiding citerzens and are appauled at what went on as well as horrified at what initiated the initial demonstration.

thuggery
Yup.
But not me and I asked first
I understand why people (at times) must resort to protest and yes, even violent protest. In saying that, I don't understand the need for destructive protest against regular Joe Blow's and their homes and businesses! I am really at a loss when rioters riot over sporting events like Hockey or Football (soccer). The Vancouver riots this past spring were not a surprise to me because Vancouver has done this in the past over hockey but it is still confusing as to why.
repped you and a couple of others.But not me and I asked first
LOL... very true! We're all in the same boat...You need to be ABLE to post a few first

Never mind an Avatar, I've now got so many rep-badges that there's a real danger that a newbie could mistake me for somebody who knows the first thing about Excel.
I'll get on the avatar thing just as soon as I've finished reading PED cover-to-cover.

Mordred/Dom: ... not that sensitive a point ;-) Simon's right - most people are safe, sane and sensible; the police have their hands tied behind their backs with their own handcuffs, and the sentences passed down on the bad boys and girls are, in the main, laughable.
But, enough with the heavy stuff ... let's just focus on the dire state of the forum :-))

In general finding humour in the whole thing is a good thing. It's what mostly makes us British (Scottish/English/Welsh/Northern Ireland'ish per previous thread)/human.
I've sadly recently lost a close family member and been really disappointed with what has gone on in England.

@Dom, I am genuinely sorry for your loss. Reading Andy's blog really brought home a sense of mortality, which I sometimes forget about in this thing we call life.
Strange! That happened just for this site?

Pah, I live in beautiful Northumberland, where the air is clean, the water is fresh, you can buy a 3-bedroom wattle & daub hut for 2 goats and a bushel of grain, and where if anybody speaks with a London accent we burn them as a witch.
We didn't have riots here, but we nearly did last year when the council suggested that we adopt the Gregorian calendar.
You came pretty close yesterday at St. James' Park!
We don't have riots up here either, just the usual Saturdays' debates between the blue team and the green one, the flying bottles aren't what they seem, they are actually haggis in disguise.

And I'm back!!! I'd sulked for long enough and was bored at work today.
What more could you want?
Dom
See what you did, Mordred?
I want a VLOOKUP formula that check 5 different ranges, works between set dates, returns the value into a cell which it formats according to the returned value and automatically pastes into the next available row.
And it can't take ages or run or be too long to type in (20 characters, max, please).
What? Isn't that what everybody here wants?
Well, the good thing is if the site goes down again while Dom is back then we know for a fact that it was all Dom's fault!
It's not me honest, I don't think
By the way congratulations on the promotion Mordred
Thanks Dom!
Ah, that old familiar friend the database error. How I've missed you! It's almost reassuring to know that you haven't gone away completely otherwise I'd only have football to moan about.
Dom
Now, who to blame, you, for coming back, or Colin for jinxing us!
Blame Colin!!!
I also get messages in my browser that there are errors in the page...
The loading of simple icons from twitter, facebook and others (who requested those ?) is slowing down the pageloading considerably. (I do not grasp the necessity to load those icons from all kinds of different servers; why not copying to the excelforum webserver ?)
It's so you can broadcast to the world how much you like all my posts snb
My friends think I'm already geeky enough without broadcasting all this on my Facebook/Twitter pages.

I just cannot pull myself around to posting this on FaceCrack either. Most of the people I know would think I am over the top geeky if I did that.It's so you can broadcast to the world how much you like all my posts snb

Funny, i don't see any twitter or facebook icons (other than the bookmark ones), i have them on my forums and it doesn't slow load...errr well i hope not
I haven't noticed slow loads on this site as of late and never on yours Simon.Funny, i don't see any twitter or facebook icons (other than the bookmark ones), i have them on my forums and it doesn't slow load...errr well i hope not
They're at the top of every page. Not sure when they arrived.
Dom
Aha!, the Twitter at least, arrived around a year ago, you're viewing the forum in "Child of 3.7.2 creation" from the style chooser at the bottom of the page aren't you? or at least i assume your viewing the old skin as thats the only place i see the Twitter Icon.
I'm not using the Child of 3.7.2 creation and I see the Twitter icon up above.

If those are the major improvements we've been looking forward to I'm underwhelmed to say the least.

Oh geez, thanks Dom.
You know I don't mean it
I think the owner is more interested in those social links for some reason than improving the overall forum. I don't think those were there before, because every time my mouse happens to cross over the "share" icon, i get at extended view showing all sorts of links!!
I sometimes wonder if the owner is interested in anything apart from collecting his advertising revenue.
Dom
Advertising revenue does pay the bills. However, it seems like it should be good practice to make sure that the product (this forum) is in good working order. I honestly think that it is the community here that keeps this forum going as well as it does. I don't mind these kinds of adverstisements as I can see them for what they are, it's the ones where you don't know they are adverstisements until you click on them that I don't like. Those kinds are full of Tom-Foolery!
Are there advertisements on this site? I never see any.

New Issue: Seems that even if I click on the box to keep me logged in, the forum logs me out and whenever I return regardless of how long I have clicked away to another site, I have to re-login. Curious. Anyone else having this issue or is it just me. Perhaps a setting changed in my profile? Any thoughts?

@Alan: think it might be just you ;-)
@Alan, if you use a cookie cleaner, windows wiper or some such software you will experience that as the forums session is cookie controlled
@Simon: Not using a wiper/cleaner. This just starting happening this week on my WIN 7 machine. Appears not to be an issue on my XP machine. Does not happen with any other forums. Very strange.
Alan
In that case, it may well be a strategy of the owner to lower bandwidth usage and database errors!

It's the luck of the draw. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't... we'll have to live with it until the "gods" fix it all up, in the very distant future.

The issue for 'mods' having issues with WOL can be easily fixed
I seem to remember the last time I reported this there was a major crash.
Lol!, you can make improvements yourself, in vBulletin Options>Who's Online Options then change this:
Who's Online Display Guests
Display Guest (non-registered user) activity on Who's Online?
To NO and see if it now loads faster for Mods with the other information still enabled, if it's not much better then you'd need to turn off the option below it too until someone repairs the template that displays the WOL information.
Hope that helps you
