Hi Ditty  I have a Macbook

Marge..  

There seems to have been an oversight when designing the Macbook keyboard... but there is a shortcut that will do the same thing. 

Linky below -

Thank you Ditty I will have a good look at the link you have given me and try and suss it out

Hi Rexi, under the green bar at the top there is small blue writing saying this ^^^^ click on Big brother UK and it takes you back to the main page

YAY It worked thank you Ditty

It's too big - feel like i need a map and i was never any good with maps

I think the only gripe I have is with the smileys box......too small. I liked to be able to see them all as on the old forum.
Apart from that...everything is tickety boo so far

Oh its just sooo you know, whats it, thingy. I can't believe they've not done yada yada. I just feel like going blah blah blah.
Grrrr.

I have only just come on to this forum and it will take a bit of getting used to!!  We should be thankful we still have a forum though (no thanks to Channel 4!!).  So far, it seems OK.

So far, apart from getting 'kicked-off' a few times last night and it running a bit slow, I like it here  

its very slow today

Its okey to me. I use more then the forum here

I would like to see whose online go back to the top of the page and the strip down the right hand of the page disappear, as we dont need it on the forum keep it in live cloud,by doing that it would give us a wider forum and not  a small one were we actually post

I like the new crowd kicking it.

The format is wrong is some weird way.  It's all too big I think.  I'm having trouble engaging in the threads, it all just seems like text and white/grey space without any identity.

Morning all I really miss seeing who has started the thread, hopefully the mods can tweak this, I don't think it will be that difficult (says she who doesn't even know where the home key is)

I know what you mean Daniel, its just very empty and cold

I find it all very slow.  Like posting about BB on eviction night.

Cannot see the point in the inclusion of all the other forums from the groupee site where nobody seemed to post anything anyway.  They should have just transferred the BB forum, Uk Lounge and the Troll Tank.

I'm happy enough with it but miss the thing where you can find your own and others previous posts by name . Not keen on the whooshy thing. Glad to see the back of some of the enormous sigs, like that there's less 'quotastics' and like the additional options in the reply box Enjoy reading people's blogs although I'm unlikely to post many myself! Like the 'inclusiveness' of it i.e.people less likely to go off to facebook. All in all, now I'm getting used to it, the good definitely outweighs the bad for the most part

BTW, my 'home' and 'end' keys on my computer definitely don't take me to the top and bottom of the page but I just click and hold left and scroll down the side, quicker than page up and page down

Did you mean the others from the GaGa rather than the groupee site SB?

I meant the ones from Gagajoyjoy.

You can still do a search on here.  https://www.hoo.do/search

If the link doesn't work the click on on "Explore"

You're right, most of them don't get used much. Guess the idea always was that people would post off topic in the lounge and about TV shows in the thread with that name, but that never really happened  to any great extent and they've brought the same format over here. Having said that, for those who did post in the other places, guess they wouldn't have been v happy if everything had 'gone'

Thanks SB, I'd missed the Explore, then search option!

Have you tried using Google Chrome SB?

Not tried it yet as I am on a temporary computer since other one died on me.  Only got this antique up and running to give me internet access.

That's what lots of folk, including me are using SB. Using Internet Explorer on here does seem to be a problem.

i would like to know who is online at the same time as i am! i often come on and it feels like i am the only person here

Boink it tells you top right who is online, also if their gingerbread man is ginger rather than grey

ok just noticed they have a list at the side saying who is online D'oh

Getting fed up of trying to follow a thread but having to go half way round the world to find out what the last poster said...when threads have been replied to can't they change the settings to take us directly to the thread when clicking on the last poster's name instead of to their profile page? (Turned off all e-mail notifications cos it was ridiculous)

I hate the fact there isn't an ignore function.  Yes there's a blacklist to block people off your wall, but I really can't be doing with reading the witterings of some people on the forum.  If anyone finds a way to ignore the twats please let me know..

Karma...if you click on the post rather than the posters name it takes you directly to their post...

use the ticker and that brings up replies to any threads you have posted in and its easy to follow a thread from there.

I hadn't turned off all email notifications - on the first day I had 22 pages of emails in my inbox

I've done it now

Oooh I shall give that a go! Ta I was using my ticker but I was following so many threads that the e-mails were getting silly.

Oooh and Ive seen when some people quote next to the reference bit it comes up with the quoted posters name (doesn't happen with everyones) how do you do that?

Oh it came up with Crocs name next to reference

Oh didn't come up with Cinds name there
