Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    Have never recognised anyone, to my disappointment.

    I browse through those threads occasionally - It always amazes me the level of egomania some posters have. There are some saddos who literally have dozens of photos of themselves up in those threads. I just don't get how anyone could like themselves that much. Or why anyone would want to put a coy, semi naked photo of themself up on the internet for a load of people they don't know to perve over.

    But some of the photos, 'me and my day old baby' and the like, are really lovely.

    I'll add the Car Thread for the Craic.:)

    I think that's all of them.

    I do know some people yes. But I also think it's kinda creepy to create a thread like this. People post pictures on boards because they would like to feel part of the community, or just to allow others to put a face to a username. Not to be scared shitless by some unknown poster who has the upper hand on them.


    Do you have a pic of yourself on boards OP? Just so I know what you look like, you never know. I might know you.

    you have no idea why they post what they post, would it be fair to call you sad for anonimously bitching about people you know nothing about?

    Sorry but this will just lead down the path of discussing people's appearance, hotness or lack thereof.
    Since that is not allowed in the threads themselves it is also not ok here.

    If you prefer OP there are a few threads on "have you ever met another boardsie in real life?" you can search for.
