Default Really big pet hate

I'm getting very frustrated with people hijacking threads to ask questions about their own cases....it is really really annoying....either your reading through some case that is relevent to you and you end up ploughing through pages and pages of some other completely unrelated problem or someone randomly plants a question on your thread and when you think there is something useful to go and read you end up answering someones question...so as not to be rude.

Believe me I really really don't mind helping people but it is very frustrating that people are not reading the FAQ's and understanding them and just plonking a query into some random thread because its easier and someone else will do all the work for them....

No wonder cases are being thrown out and people losing cases.....jeez...

OK rant over

Maybe when you sign on to the forum - you should have to sign the CAG constitution with hand held high - I PROMISE to read all FAQ-not to HIJACK threads-be polite to people at all times -etc.etc and not be allowed on unless I PROMISE to do the above -

my pet hate is i have tried to do the above but still can not do some things like put an angry face or question mark by my post!!!or link back to interesting threads! I have looked honestly - it is a big site - I am not completely computer illiterate -but not a silver surfer yet - BUT I FEEL THICK! jansus

In the "reply" box, look at the bar above it, and look for this : , if you click on it, it will show you the smilies, etc... to add to your sentences.

To paste links, open a 2nd window, go to the thread you want to copy, highlight it in the browser window, where it says http://www.consumeractiongroup......, and either right click copy, right click paste, or Ctrl C + Ctrl V (same thing) the link back into the post you want to list it in. Ta-DAH!
If you want to fancy things up, type something like: Look HERE. Highlight the word HERE, and click on the

image. That opens the hyperlink window, you can paste your link (as in previous step) in there, and it will then look like THIS , but when people click on it, it will taske them to the thread you wanted to link.
I have hyperlinked this for you as an example:
EBAY
click on it, and see what I mean.
If you want to link only a post and not a whole thread, click on the #number, on the right hand side of the post, this will open a single post, which you can then highlight and copy/paste like I told you to do higher up.

Practice and have fun. Welcome to cyberworld.

I got really upset when someone kept refering to forums (plural) as 'fora', as in I'm subscribed to lots of fora). I know it may be technically correct, but for some reason it caused me to develop an irrational hatred of the person. I couldn't sleep for days, and actually considered hunting him/her down and having them deported.
