We seem to be having a lot of posts that one would think should properly be posted in the "Techies" thread, in the General Forum again.  What's the point of having specific Threads, if they're not used ?

Cheers,

Sheba.

There are a lot that seem to be posted in the wrong sections Sheba, a bit more care is needed by all of us to try to put them in the right place, also OT posts in sections that are not in "I digress" and I will put my hand up for some of those but will try my best not too....promise!

 I am, just thought with night time setting in you'd be better off getting settled for the night!!  

 I know the reason, that is the cause for all the wrong postings in the General Forum 

But i cannot post the answer here ??? because this is the wrong area ??? So I have posted the answer where it belongs in '' I Digress''

 Geez.....and I didn't even say most of them were in response to Wombat's posts which are way OT !  

 That would be a MINORITY opinion ?? and whats that got to do with General ?? it should be in ''I Digress'' 

just noted that there are a lot of gurus on this post maybe oneday  i will beone two

 i read the forum every day wish i could say i read all of them but i dont i am gulity of posting all in this forum and i notice that i get a lot of feed back from you guys and you always point me to pages or other forums so yes i am a guilty one so as i take on your advise i now see that i can search for things maybe i should take a bit more time and check the  others out 

thanks for pointing me in the right direction i will try to do better next time (only joking) at least you guys put a smile on my face between you all you are a wealth of info so keep up the good work for the gurus to come

 if you keep posting you WILL be a guru 

good to hear some of us are helping with your questions etc but we all have to put up with Duh, Dugwe & dazren. 

Sorry Sheba, Duh made me go off topic

 Impossible to put brains in statues.  Some people  don't have a point of view to express so just treat everything as general info

I reckon replies should be directed towards the OP's question/query or comment. It's only my opinion, but once a thread becomes chit-chat I lose all interest and this means that if the chit-chat starts before what may possibly be a very interesting thead gets intelligent answers, then it's all over red rover. One or two comments may be OK but not when it's like a game of tennis. My apologies if you feel I'm being boring.
I have a suspicion that most GN's that don't post regularly feel the same.

Regards

Denis

Would be great if all the Wombat talk could be kept in I Digress

 Blocked would be better.

 Agree, not so funny after the first hundred posts.

==============================================================================================================

Those comments seem a little personal ?? ---       Keep looking ?? Happiness IS out there, and we all find it sooner or later ?

 No not personal, these are lovely helpful nice people, but you can only laugh at wombat holes so many times and not helpful to those with limited access. This is such a great forum. Sorry but happiness is not about wombat holes.

In other forums the moderators often move an out-of-place thread to a more appropriate section. Perhaps the same could be done here.

 Cindy does that if she thinks it needs doing.

Thanks everyone for your input. It does help with navigation and searches if members try to post in the section that best fits the subject matter. It also helps visitors who are looking for specific things, whether it be general information, jokes, rig photos etc to find - and enjoy - what they want. However, I understand that there are grey areas and hope that everyone can be flexible when they read others' threads. It is not an exact science ... and ultimately the most important thing is that we all find what we are looking for and enjoy the forum. I'll try to keep things in the right place as best I can, but I am hoping that this can be fairly self-regulating. Fingers crossed! Please let me know if you have any concerns about strings appearing in the wrong section. Thanks for your understanding everybody.

Yes I DIGRESS was set up for the purpose of letting people who want to talk to one another without Hi jacking posts

 NOT 100% correct, PM is for people who want to talk to one another.

Thanks Cindy for your input, I know you will change a topic if you think it needs to be done.

Being relative newbies we do try to post in the correct place but sometimes we may get it wrong...but we'll persevere.

Like Hako, we  scan all the forums except singles and medical as there are some great pearls of wisdom and interesting info and we never know what we'll find on this terrific forum.  A bit like Forest Gump: Life is like a box of chocolates......
