The Introduce Yourself forum is still restricted, and besides Live!, there will be other features that are non-viewable by non-members.

What he said, and please note that recovering your password has nothing directly to do with signing in. If you already know your password then there is no point in asking to be sent an email to tell you what you already know. Make sure you are NOT clicking on the Sign Up button. This is not for existing members. There's a drop down menu to the left of that button. You are looking for: Existing user? Sign In That "few minutes" is just a generality. In fact on our mailservers there's rarely any significant delay, the wait is at the other end and completely beyond our control. Your ISPs mail system might be backed up or completely unreachable, in this event ours simply keeps on trying to deliver mail every hour, until it succeeds or it finally gives up after a few days. Mail servers silently talk to each other in the background, and the actual transfer of the email happens in their own time (when both are ready), and that's not when it's sent or when the recipient views it, but at some indeterminate time in between. It might amuse you to know that this transfer starts with a HELO message - yes, with only one L!

It's a brave man that ventures into Faragian territory and dares to even suggest that immigration is working against the interests of ordinary Brits. Double brave when it's a celeb, and triple brave when that celeb depends on the largesse of the Biased Broadcasting Corporation to keep him in the manner to which he has become accustomed. But, Noel Edmonds has done it; perhaps not with the Faragian certitude, and by way of question rather than assertion. He needn't have bothered with fine phrasing: the PC police have already descended on his thought processes, and he must be made to suffer! TV star Noel Edmonds sparks migration row: Am I alone in feeling Britain is FULL, he asks My two penneth is to say no Mr Edmonds you are not alone, and you KNOW you are not alone. Patient, long-suffering, ordinary Brits have had enough of the social engineering thrust on them by both our traitorous liberal elites, and international corporations working hand in glove. We'd like our country back - PLEASE!

I don't see that 3 minute clause anywhere in the contract @Canny lass! And, don't blame the shipper when your delivery office has a long queue - change your mail handler! If you can't guess your own password then it's probably the right password, and you'd be moving in the wrong direction. Anyway, please send me your bank account number - purely for testing purposes. Writing passwords on scraps of paper is something else that went out in the middle ages. Use a secure password manager like Lastpass. They are generally free on a PC, and there's a small sub for the mobile platform. If you use it on both platforms then the magic increases exponentially. Password change? Have a look in your control panel and you'll find all sorts of interesting settings, including resetting that. If all else fails then PM a moderator - THAT will take more than 3 minutes though.

Of course you can submit them Maggie. How much space would you like? Update: You are now a "Contributor" which removes any upload limit. PM me if you have any other problems.

I'm tempted to say the EU forced us to convert to €s - with the usual consequences, but the reality is we seem to have moved to UTF8. Non fretta; all will be fixed anon. Update: The borrowers under the floorboards have returned your quotes. They promise not to do it again.

Yeah, wot he said too - I think. Happy Birthday CL!

If you hit the Discussion Tab you'll get things in the familiar forums format - this should reduce the shock of the new. Other missing features will creep back as time is available.

Well... we've finally gone and done it and moved to the new format! Not all the previous features are back yet, and there are some new ones we'll all need to get used to, but we're surely getting there. If you have any problems or observations then please post them on this thread. Once things are stable we have a number of initiatives planned to move your community forward. So... 2016 is likely to be a year of considerable change, and we do hope it's mostly change for the better. When we first launched hand-held internet devices were almost unheard of, so the mobile support we slowly added was very much ad hoc. The new bedlington.co.uk was designed for mobile devices from the ground up - as you'll discover when you visit from your smartphone or tablet. Enjoy!

EU membership is a truly excellent way to promote intercontinental harmony, and bury all those little past differences of viewpoint. Peace in our time! And... whatever you do Basilski, don't mention the war! Oops, you just did! I bet Mutti Merkel will be hopping mad with our Polish friends when she sees this! Some others in Mutti's entourage on the cover have... err... "been here before".

Apologies to The Spectator for ripping off more of their text than is reasonable under copyright law, but a significant number of people on this thread need an excuse not to face reality. Full article

Probably totally unheard of to current generations he was arguably much more significant to UK (and indeed World) popular culture than the celebrated Brian Epstein, had a much longer run, and covered a far "broader range". He was also a bit of a character, of the sort that would have been highly un-PC these grey days. Telstar: The Joe Meek Story was shown on TV over the holiday period, so he was already on my mind when the sad news broke.

More news that isn't being reported and another nail in Merkel's coffin: http://www.express.co.uk/news/world/631531/Police-Germany-Hunt-1000-Arab-North-African-Gang-Cologne-Sex-Attack-Assault

Though... in other parts of Europe it has never been greener - at least in the last decade. This is just as well as (due to the economically failing EU) there has been a massive return to the land, where people are growing stuff for own/local consumption. Anyone fancy some oranges?

In politics (and the law) you ask questions to elicit a response that demonstrates the weakness of the position of the opposition, and their misunderstandings. You aren't looking too hard then: present day politics is mostly a "State of War" within the parties! A rep score of 0 is still a rep. It's there in the profile for all time. This is la-la-leftie-land supposition, where sixteen year-olds and even babies have the life experience of mature adults. Reference those hilarious trade union block votes of the past for a taste of how things are supposed to work. Back in the real world If you aren't interested and/or can't be a**ed to vote then you don't count! That one got Red Arthur because he knew that he couldn't carry the NUM membership into his strike to overthrow the government. Half a million votes is as good as it gets on gov.uk just at the moment. 98% of the propositions even I can't be bothered to vote on! I actually know of no one who is "anti-immigrant". Adopting a sane immigration policy is not being against immigrants, or even against immigration per-Se. Nor is it against asylum seekers who are genuine asylum seekers. Back in the 1990's mass immigration started being used as a tool by Labour to keep up its fading working class support. We need to counter this cynical political manipulation of our population by calling a pause, and because of the clear and present danger presented by world Islam there's no time like the present. No one will benefit more - from say a five year pause - than our existing immigrants. The penalty for inaction will be major bloodshed!

So EuroCam has just come back from the hot-air summit in Paris, where he agreed mythical billions to combat a mythical problem, and what do the UK government REALLY do? Well... if you were hoping for more encouragement to do anything practical to reduce air pollution - like fit solar panels - you can forget it, as the return you can expect from any spend is being reduced from 12.9p per kilowatt hour to just 4.39p from February 8. If you want any further proof that politicos talk a load of hot air then consider the CBDRILONCWRC principal that has been agreed upon. What's that when it's at home, you may well say? Well, to the people without real jobs that means "Common but Differentiated Responsibility in Light of National Circumstances With Respective Capability.” After the group photos, the sound bytes, and the mutual back slapping, that reduces to: we will all do whatever we see fit to do to get re-elected, because we are all a load of two-faced establishment plonkers conning our respective electorates! Yes, we are all supreme examples of group-think. And that group-think demonstrably works, because we are here and you are still keeping all us non-jobbers and our veritable armies of lesser non-jobbers in the manner to which we've all become accustomed! Under your burden of real-world problems you'll have completely forgotten about COP21 by the time COP22 comes around, so we elites have a huge opportunity to save the world, again! CBDRILONCWRC, or "Common but Differentiated Responsibility in Light of National Circumstances With Respective Capability.”CBDRILONCWRC, or "Common but Differentiated Responsibility in Light of National Circumstances With Respective Capability.”CBDRILONCWRC, or "Common but Differentiated Responsibility in Light of National Circumstances With Respective Capability.”

Thanks for the kind wishes everybody, and wishing a happy new year to you all.

http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/630682/Couple-missing-lotto-jackpot-glitch-APP Somehow I've no sympathy with Edwina Nylan on missing out on her thirty five millions. If she'd bought any other kind of smartphone it's more than likely she would have had sufficient funds in her account for that ticket purchase to complete. Though I'm sure Apple will compensate her from their trillion dollar cash pile as a simple gesture of goodwill!

So, you've just neatly arranged you desktop icons and turned off the auto-arrange so that they don't screw up again. Then you plug another screen into the lappy, and whoops... all your organisation is undone again! That's what I mean by Desktop Icon Hell. Is there a way of stopping this happening, and forcing Windows to stop moving things around? Because when you change screen resolutions moving fixed size icons is very necessary, but when you change back you want all those changes to be undone, and Windows fails badly here. Well, there is a trick you can pull shutting the desktop down with the Task Manger and restarting it, but it's messy and you shouldn't need to resort to tricks! Enter DesktopOK. DesktopOK is a freebie, and it does not need to be installed. You can run it from anywhere you want (even a USB stick) and it saves icon positions in a plain text file in the same directory as you put the .exe. It's small, fast, totally customisable, and you can minimise it to your icon tray. The only minor annoyance is that the German author has defaulted it to German, so you have to select English yourself. But - as it's a free gift - I say vielen dank and totally forgive him! Recommended! (I've virus checked the first - 114K - download only, and it was free of any nasties at the time of download) And... yes, I forgot to say, it does work fine with Windows 10!

Of course she does! Strictly speaking it's part of the "rep" system, so you are actually voting on the reputation of the poster. At least that's where the lasting result is delivered. Don't worry though, because it's (allegedly) a lot harder for the Corbynistas to rig the electoral system - though do watch out for those 99% statistically improbable postal votes for the opposition that are plonked on the table just when the relative piles seem to indicate you are home and dry!

Well to the left happiness is subverting the system, so completely frustrating the original intentions, and devaluing it to the point it has no real meaning any longer. http://www.express.co.uk/news/uk/627734/Fiddle-Donald-Trump-Petition-UK-Government Personally I hope that Trump wins; not because I particularly like him, but just to see how slimy Cameron and May react when they have to face up to the consequences of their cynical popularism! There are going on for half a million votes on the petition, and in the main those people - being honourable people who believe in true democracy - will only have voted once. The faux triumphalism is echoed in the claims of the Corbynistas as to the number of votes for their "dear leader". Really easy for unscrupulous activists to take over a party that has a £3 membership fee (thank you Mr Blair), and where its opponents are quite prepared to pay a few £3 one-off "donations" just to help screw you up and make you unelectable! "Ease of use is no indication of quality or long-term serviceability", as they say in consumerist circles.

...yes I am! But in our massively PC society no one can profile, so we have to go through the pretence that this scheme applies to all religious groups. They keep it to themselves because of misplaced loyalty and peer direction - the same as any closed group does! The answer to that final paragraph is that the net needs to be spread as wide as possible; that the groups that you mention also include significant numbers of less extreme Muslims who know a spade when they see a spade, and those groups are the people that most come into contact with potential radicals - not the general population as you so want to pretend, You mention "proof of pudding": so did we have a problem with terrorist extremists bent on bringing down our society and replacing it with a theocracy before we had a significant adoption of Islamic beliefs in our country? No matter how much the left puffs and gyrates on this one the facts are the facts - take your rose coloured glasses off and look at the Quaran, then ask your Muslim friends exactly how much of it they believe. They will hedge around the subject because the actual answer is all of it; it's not just a religious book it's a manual for life. They don't interpret it for themselves, this is delegated to extremists. This recipe for life includes the physical elimination of all other belief sets that don't conform, and the total eradication of the Jews. This is what you are making lengthy excuses for! OK, so I will now answer my own question as to where the moderate Muslims are: They are mostly here!

Yes, they are taking a lot of liberties of late. I THOUGHT the lappy was simply upgrading Skype but when the machine rebooted I was presented with a Log in to your Microsoft account to access Skype Video dialogue box. Needless to say Skype Video or whatever was immediately uninstalled! Got a load of games and stuff I never asked for too, and apparently I own an X Box, and have all sorts of other "demo" slop I never agreed to. Oh, and I seem to have subscribed to M$ cloud storage (One Drive). Well that one came out at a rate of knots too, but remnants are still reminding me of the storage offer I simply can't refuse. I've lost count of the times M$ has changed the default search on this machine to Bing without asking, and they are frequently attempting to change the default browser and browser homepage. They now want to own all my software (oh, sorry "apps"!) through the M$ Store. I suppose that in a world that was dumb enough to let Apple get away with this and more, it's simply par for the course nowadays.

The stars are a vote on the whole topic, the green up arrow is not a vote on the post but a vote on member reputation (I think). I'm not sure if you are allowed to vote any one member up more than once, hence that's likely why you believe it has stopped working. All this could be history in the next few weeks as we are now overdue for a major software upgrade. The whole thing became hugely cumbersome over the years so the programming team have spent thousands of hours doing a complete top-down rewrite. The new code will be introduced here as free time is available from servicing paying customers. You might want to start your own poll. I think the permissions are set so that any full member can do this in SOME of the forums. Feel free to experiment as we can always clean up for you. I think that only a topic starter can create a poll, and my guess is that you need to create a poll within 24 hours of starting the new topic. Polls can contain multiple questions, and you decide the range of answers. It's actually quite easy, and you can learn "on the job". The moderators will "pin" any polls they think are of general interest to the top of the forum, so you get more exposure and more people voting.
