    Hi @Jimm_Scope I was thinking about you the other day as I kept seeing your picture on the list of online members for like 5 days and assumed you'd just left your PC logged in or something

    I'm glad you're feeling a bit better now

    I'm just wondering

    A couple of members aren't visible when they are browsing the forum

    Is there a way of "hiding" from being shown as online? Is it to do with using a VPN or something?

    I don't really care if people see me online but am just wondering

    I have a habit of just shutting my laptop and not fully shutting it down @66Mustang. I should really shut it down properly!

    Thank you @Strawberry1 😄Always lovely hearing from you, I hope you're doing well ❤️

    @Jimm_Scope oh I do that, you're not alone. My laptop only restarts when it needs to update and that's usually after saying "remind me tomorrow" for about 2 months 🙄

    You can turn off online status so no one can see you online. For this you click on account settings and then click "who's online." Then tick the box on the left and no one will see you online.

    I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.
    If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

    Hey @Beaver79, @Sandy_123 and @Lou67 :)

    This new text box for posting is taking a little getting used to but I think I like it more than the old one.

    I agree @Jimm_Scope

    I viewed it as like, it seems more utilitarian / functional, but doesn't look as pretty

    For me I think it's an improvement

    Yeah, I understand that. It's looks a more minimalist I guess. I find it easier to use though.

    Need to get used to emotes not auto-filling though 😋

    Yes I always used to type my emojis out

    I'm used to just clicking them from the box now, but it took a few days

    :P

    @Lou67 that's a shame your granddaughter is poorly again. Your daughter must be beside herself with worry

    @Strawberry1 thank you so much I really appreciate it 💗

    @Sandy_123 it is wintry. The wind here would cut you in two

    I managed the injection fine but yes it's hard to do where if it was on myself it would be no problem @beaver and @66mustang.

    Hi @ada this is hit and miss tagging but its not hard to deal with compared to glitches last week

    @Jimm_Scope sorry you weren't well. Good to hear from you.

    In going to try and grab a nap while Mr does. It was one of those nights with very interrupted sleep. Have a good afternoon Scopicles 😊
