    Firstly, massive congratulations, Grem. Good news is always welcome 🙏

    Welcome back, Dave. I missed your photos.

    I'm really disappointed and anxious over this new site. Firstly there's too much white,it actually hurts the eyes.

    Can we go dark mode?

    Second, it's very hard to actually see what user is posting because the usernames are tiny.

    I can't see who has thanked posts by clicking on the number of thanks.

    I'm going to struggle with this 😐

    To thine own self be true

    It's all being worked on PM, there's a feedback thread. Niamh did say it would take time when it went live, but there's more issues than they thought it seems.

    The glare is very hard on the eyes, I've turned down the brightness on my phone but there's too much white.

    Lovely to see everyone gradually make their way back to "Wherer's"

    Watching a telly excellent documentary about Oscar Wilde and it's coming up to the inevitable point of his self destruction. It's very, very sad.

    It's supposed to be responsive! You have to change the site from desktop to touch in your browser settings.


    If you're on Android go to the 3 dots on the top right and select desktop or cancel it. I'll check the feedback thread to find out what to do if you have an iPhone. I think it's a big A and little a or something.

    Morning all 😊 This site is going to take some time getting used to, like others have said I can barely see usernames and can’t see who thanked or who’ve I’ve thanked posts

    I'd expect most things to be ironed out pretty quickly *crosses fingers tightly*

    if they use a larger font for user names, that left side box extends across the page, so the comment box becomes tiny. Guess we shall have to have patience and let them work it out.

    Pints on me lads, woke up to my bank account being gloriously swollen due to my redundancy payment 👌

    Other than that...the site has kind of knocked back my usage time..I know there are kinks being ironed out... but it just doesn't look good on phones, and that's not going to change.

    I think instead of being on for an hour or so, browsing threads and fora....I'll log in once or twice a day and just read new posts & then leave...and a few people seem to agree with me on that point...

    On another point, Olivia Coleman is filming 250m from my house these times 😂

    Deskside, stunned at the pictures and news coming out of Germany.

    Sorry for bringing down the mood, but the magnitude of those floods is only now beginning to sink in...

    Good luck trying to figure me out. I haven't managed that myself yet!

    Awful. And they seem to have taken people completely by surprise.

    It's not so much that. The part of Germany that got hit is notorious for being a severe weather hotspot. The get flooded about every five to ten years and have adapted to that. It's just that the scale of this particular disaster is so far beyond anything we've seen before.

    Entire villages effectively wiped off the map, over a hundred fatalities with nearly 2000 people missing, complete communications breakdown, no drinking water in some cities, a major fuel pipeline has been damaged, German army units put under local control because the ministry of defence can't handle all the requests for assistance. I've seen some severe floods in my time, namely the 2002 and 2013 floods, but this is just beyond anything we'd have ever expected in Germany. And the numbers are still climbing by the hour...

    Good luck trying to figure me out. I haven't managed that myself yet!

    Good God, Thomil! That is an absolutely horrific catastrophe! I knew it was bad but you really put it in perspective for me. Hope all of your loved ones are safe.

    I don't have any living relatives anymore, so that's at least some worry off my back. I have quite a few friends who have family in the affected areas though.

    Makes you glad to be in Ireland, to be honest. Even severe weather over here is mostly pretty mild.

    Good luck trying to figure me out. I haven't managed that myself yet!

    Thomil, your post really puts our complaints about the weather into context. I can't even imagine that devastation here.

    My gifs aren't filling the post box but that might be due to my phone and operating system.


    I have to go all the way in to town just for an hour thing and then back home again. Earlier I was of a mind to cancel but no. Sure lookit it's not like I'd rather avoid 5pm city traffic. That's good craic.


    We are all back anyways 😊

    Thomil, only this morning even aware of it, amazed how little reporting I saw when I saw the magnitude of the disaster
