“Hi Steve
Actually I don't think the PM messaging is working at present; nothing happens if I 'hover & lurk' above an avatar, Also, whilst on someones profile page , I find I can only see their latest posts . If I click on the " older posts " button at the bottom of the page it just returns me to the latest posts page.. A bug? julia” Hi Julia, I'm going to guess you are using a tablet? If you use a touch screen device like an iPad, then you wont see a profile menu pop up. In which case just select the users image or user name and you will be taken to their profile. If you are using a PC/laptop with a mouse, then you should see this:
Selecting anywhere on the forum profile pop up, or the avatar, or the username takes you to the users full forum profile. From here you can PM them:
Clicking the Private Message link then allows a member to contact you:
Let me know if that makes more sense, but will amend the post regarding tablets, as forgot to mention that Reference the older posts button on profiles, that was working ok, so looks like I've broken something
Matt Cutts reveals exactly how to rank #1 1st August 2014 1:12 PM Clearing out the humour forum, and the Google discussion seemed a logical home If you've not seen this video, it's worth a watch What do you think of your business broadband provider? 1st August 2014 9:34 AM Article on the beeb today about the high costs of switching broadband suppliers, with people being trapped into contracts and having to pay out high cancellation fees when services turn out to be poor or unreliable. Unless you live in a major city, it seems the rest of us have to put up with a second rate technological infrastructure I've always dreamed of superfast broadband, and got excited when BT announced our local home exchange was being enabled for fibre. I signed up pretty quickly, and by and large it is very good, but I would put reliability at about 70%. There are times when it is slow, and we still have to reboot the router every few weeks when the service drops. It's not quite the speed and experience promised in the marketing blurb, and as more people take up the offer, no doubt our speed will fall as more people in the street share the same circuit. But it's a vast improvement over the previous non fibre broadband. Business wise we are still low tech, and fibre is a far away dream in deepest darkest Alcester. Internet speed is adequate for normal business use as long as we don't upload anything, or when Mr Microsoft decides to start squirting patches down the phone lines to our computers So how does anyone else get on? I'm expecting Barney in London to be transferring files at a gazillion miles and hour, but any businesses out in the sticks like us? Has high speed broadband made it to your neck of the woods, or maybe you are happy with the connection speed you already have for your business? Anyone think their broadband connection speed is potentially hurting their business? 15 Tools to help your Social Media Presence - what are your favourites? 1st August 2014 9:07 AM Another one I've recently started using is http://circloscope.com It organises your followers on Google+ and sits as an extension on Chrome.

“Maybe I could borrow Steve for a week to sort Mark out ?”
I'm out of the office for a day and I've been rented out! I work for choccie biscuits and coffee Driverless cars by next January 31st July 2014 12:04 PM Certainly going to be interesting in the near future! So the what happens when your car gets hacked with the boy racer virus and you end up trapped in your motor while it's doing hanbrake turns and donuts No doubt there will be a big red off button on the dash, leaving you stranded on the way home from the pub! So now need antivirus for my lappie, phone, car, fridge..... time to buy shares in Norton AV Further charge for diesel cars driving in to London on the way? 29th July 2014 10:00 PM Is promoting cleaner engines really a bad thing, especially in densely populated areas like London. Don't known the ins and outs, but by 2020, you would be talking about 14 year+ old cars, so I can't seeing it being a major issue? Not many firms drive round in 14 year old vans, plus who wants to drive into the congestion charge area unless the really have to? Bankers should swear a moral oath says thinktank 29th July 2014 10:34 AM Well this did make me smile on the Beeb website. "An oath for bankers should be introduced to raise accountability and standards in banking, said the think tank ResPublica. It said the lack of public trust in banking after numerous scandals was an "ongoing concern" for the industry and the government. In a new report, ResPublica called for an oath for bankers to "fulfil their proper moral and economic purpose". I think this is the banking equivalent of a group hug Thou shall be a proper banker and not engage in any shady practices.... yeah right... So would this restore your faith in the banking sector or do you share a little bit of cynicism? |
