We are, but I still don't see 'My Forums" and I'm now getting a notification every time someone posts in a thread I've bookmarked even though they're set to off ...

Same issues here 😭😭

Big issues need to be fixed on here but at what user/post cost?

The fcuking notifications are filling over half the screen now until I x them off.

This is becoming farcical at this stage, I'm now getting a notification that someone requested access to the soccer group FFS!

Oh Boards, you irrepressible scamps...

At the bottom of the page I see,

I'm officially dying in this heat...I'd never survive in the southern hemisphere 😏

Some say the site never really came back 😔

Heat headache 😩

It appears to be cooler tonight than it was yesterday or over the weekend. Or I'm just getting used to it. Here's hoping for a cool night.

Plenty of water and sit in front of your fan.

This weather is just too hot. 😪🤤

Sardonicat

Hazy and mishty, here. Cooler than last night, though still warm enough. Flaking out with a cold glass of 7up here.

There's a nice cool breeze here too, I wish it would back to around 22°.

Definitely cooler tonight..my bedroom was reading 25° last night....it's a mere 24.5° tonight... almost chilly! 😂

Purple Mountain

No, I don't find it cooler tonight 😒

It's total dead heat here.

Leg End Reject

Time for bed.

Definitely don't find it cooler tonight.

Awful few days at work. No aircon . Only 2 fans blowing hot air around the office. We are expected to still wear face masks at all times but we have abandoned them while seated at our desks. 4 in the office and all fully vaxed.

I'm in a hape with the health anxiety. Multiple sclerosis that's my latest. Feckin head is all weird and getting weirder by the minute. Stupid Headspace app not helping.

😳😞

Diamonds, call the doctor and don’t use Doctor Google.

Morning time for me again, and it’s a feast day, tonight I shall sleep in ROME, not the first time to drop into Europe in the last year but first time to sleep there since Basel March 2020. Bring it ON.

Admittedly, I will return to 7 days quarantine on my return, company mandated, but fe5k it.

Not sure why... but if you don't post the text stays in the "leave a comment" box constantly....that's annoying as hell

Today has started of a bit overcast down here , but very humid... Wonder will we get thunder showers today

I'm ALIIIIIIIIIVVEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!

😅🤭

Still in the leaba, I've so much to do that I don't know where to start so I'll probably procrastinate for the morning.

Gremlinertia

Missus has second jab today so I'm going to make a jug of baileys heavy frappucino to spoil her.

thomil

Do you do delivery, Grem? 😉

Deskside here, with a permanent intellectual blue screen. I guess the weather is beginning to get to me...

IamMetaldave

@thomil, nothin worse! Go for a coffee and get a little boost in!

Deskside - on the phone to revenue 😑

Gave up on getting back to sleep at 4:30 this morning and went for a walk at sunrise, a lovely start to the day. Now to hide from the sun for the day 😋

Mam of 4

Does anyone else get shuddering on the site at times ? When I go to scroll up or down , it sometimes shudders as if it doesn't want to move .

Anyhow , birds happily feeding away in the yard , I'm inside looking out at them .

thomil

@IamMetaldave A combination of coffee and music got the blue screen to mostly resolve itself. That new coffee machine is really coming in handy!

Not much happening at work, taking the time to do a little brain dump for my blog and also finish up my HR review for the first half of the year.

Oh, and I love that new Tagging function 🙃

I had an awful night's sleep and I logged in to 90 notifications, and they keep coming thick and fast. 🙄😏

I only wish I was that slim in real life 🤪

Calling around to a friends tonight...just an alleged random visit...but they have aircon. I might move in.

JupiterKid

Deskside, home office, rotary fan on, toiling away...

In Facebook "jail" for two days for posting up an image on a Gay men's 40+ Group deemed to be "contrary to FB's community standards". 🤔 Saw nothing very revealing about it, but ho hum...

Got some sad news yesterday - my OH's brother in law (his older sister's husband) is now in the final stages of advanced liver cirrhosis from decades of being a "functioning" alcoholic. I don't think I ever remember meeting him without a glass of wine in his hand. My heart goes out to my OH's sister and their three adult children and I do feel very sorry for the brother in law - but he had been warned by doctors many times before about his drinking and chose to ignore them. Now, at 63 he has just a few short months to live. 😓

Making me thoughtful - as I am a recovering alcoholic myself, three years sober later this year and so grateful for my sobriety and my sanity.

It would be rude to turn up without a few beers so will stop off in the local off-licence which has a walk in fridge. Will do lots of browsing.

That brought a memory of Crazy Prices, Dundrum...Didnt they avoid having a lot of fridges by having a room at fridge temperature that you walked thru and picked what ever chilled stuff you wanted.

( Also reminds me of a couple of jobs we did for cold stores. -25 dressed in a polar bear suit )

Before my time OD!!

But I do wish we had an Iceland store near us...they were always nipple hardeningly cold inside.

I remember the walk in storage freezers in my Centra days.... you'd come in with a hangover, take some home made sausage rolls from the cold store & walk into the freezer at about -20° and stay for about 20 minutes..... eat the rolls and kill the hangover 😂

thomil

@JupiterKid It's always sad to see someone slip away before their time, no matter the circumstances, especially when it happens in slow motion. I won't send hugs, that would just amount to cruel and unusual punishment in this weather, but I'm definitely thinking of you and your loved ones!

Deskside here, burning down the clock. Didn't get nearly as much done as I wanted, my mind just wasn't in it.

smurfjed

Sitting in a side street close to the Spanish steps, cold beer or two, streets are quiet with some wearing masks.

Autosport

Sorry to hear your news JK , it’s always sad no matter the reason ((hugs))

Double post earlier was due to the site telling me that my first post didn’t post, 😂😂

Omg

this new boards is killing me! Desktop is not so bad, but I use, or used to use the touch site all the time. It's very hard now.

cannot even catch up, what did I miss???

few days after my dog Alfie died, my old lad died, roaring alco, but only 64, waste of a life.........

Anyway, at least the weather is good! Reminds me of living in the Balkans, pray we don't also get the winters.........😂

Can we edit quotes?

I can't seem to.......

JK, I get what it's like......sad to see a life lost, but a life wasted also.....

thomil

I don't think we're able to edit quotes with this new system, bubbly. If it is, I've failed to find out how so far.

Sorry to hear about your old man. I know that feeling better than I'd like.
