Thank you, I mentioned this the other day too.

No need for your sarky comment. I have a valid point, whether you like it or not.

Yes, thanks too from me as well UKT.

It wasn't a sarky comment. I literally have to do that. I didn't know other computers were capable of doing it so much faster. Presumably the words also flash in magenta bold too and linger with a sort of fading effect for a further eight seconds to spoil all the top Big Brother action.

Seeing as it happens to be one of the rules of the forum - see my previous link - you might want to relay that info to admin - seeing as they make the rules.

It is a valid point - regardless.

Well clearly I am not the only person on this thread who had the same thoughts on the matter - perhaps you want to address them also in having super duper fast computers too?

I already did?

Good bodyswerve there Stu.

The point remains -others too have commented on the same thing - so clearly others find it as equally annoying.

I don't think I've ever contended that?

Did you think I was directly adressing you or something? Because I wasn't.

Just don't hover over topics with spoilers in them?

What Naked?

It literally only takes second - and if you are moving down the titles or accidentally move the mouse too far, it's easy enough to do - even easier when there were at the time, 4 or 5 threads all on the same topic, all doing the same thing.

It's a valid point as I have said repeatedly.

Don't leave your cursor hanging over the topics then? It seems pointless to make a big deal over it when you can avoid it by making a few micro movements.

As I said Dezzy, I have a valid point and I explained it quite clearly why it is valid.

Oddly enough: it is in the rules that the text inside the thread should also be spoilered - I'd have thought a mod would have been promoting people sticking to the rules, rather than telling fms that their raising such a matter was pointless. I thought we were meant to follow rules, not ignore them?:conf:

Posting spoilers, without a spoiler warning in the title, and spoiler tags inside the thread, will be punished. Not everyone wants to know things before they happen. To post a spoiler, just put the text inside [ spoiler] [ /spoiler] (minus the spaces)

No point you arguing with me about it: I'm not making a big deal - you can see from my original post, it was a polite friendly request - and as far away from a big deal. People not liking my saying what I've said, are the ones making a big deal - not me.

Nevertheless it's pedantic when it's so easily avoided.

This is a fan site, most people are gonna be interested in the most up to date information, especially since even the offical show BOTS gives away spoilers in it's show.

If you don't want spoilers then you shouldn't be on a fan forum to begin with IMHO.

Salman! is ruining the forum, a ban is in order methinks.

If so, I have to wonder then why it is included in the rules of this forum then?

Same reply as I gave Dezzy. Not every fan wants to know the results before they are shown on TV. Not every fan watches the spin off show either. You shouldn't assume that what you want, is what everyone else wants.

Given your words in bold above: 'if you don't want spoilers' , clearly you have missed the entire point of the thread - given that it IS proper spoilers that I referred to in the actual thread, not just the title.

Apart from anything, I have every right to be on this forum, whether I am a fan or not of BB.

My advice is leave the forum and take up traveling with your free bus pass

Yes slow connection speeds not showing you have posted quick enough but connection speed quick enough to show content of each thread while hovering your mouse over it.

Strange that!

Its not often you are right but oops you are wrong again, it can be either is or are depending on the context. Impatient posters being a collective group, therefore a singular case and "is" is contextually more apt.

Alright, well i had the noms spoiled for me too, but i'm not betching about it. I'd rather have it spoiled so i can participate in the conversations going on on the forum.

Just have to be a little more careful in future Pyramid! No unnecessary hovering!

Then why are you hovering over spoiler threads? If you don't want to get spoiled then move your mouse a few centimetres away from the Recent Posts. It's just laziness to expect admin to have spend time coding in new features just because you don't want to move your mouse a little bit to the side.

Nothing strange about it at all - I said I've been having issues with my connection which was in relation to the previous double post - and I was unsure whether it was caused by issue at my end or with Tibb's very slow and bothersome server.

Besides which, it looks like your doing not a lot on here, other than trying to cause trouble for the hell of it. Bored today are you?

Fact remains, my point is valid in regards to what I stated in my opening post.

I don't happen to be the only person who has referred to this on this thread.

I shouldn't have to do anything - if fms were at least reminded to follow the rules. You know, the ones that you as a mod should be at least trying to enforce - rather than insulting me by suggesting I am lazy.

I don't suggest admin do anything: admin make the rules do they not - it happens to be one of those rules as I pointed out earlier.

So rather than having a dig at me Dezzy, perhaps you should raise it with Admin that rules are being set up which are blithely being ignored - clearly by fms and at least one mod.

It certainly seems quite bizarre that a very polite request from me seems to have stemmed into me being targetted - very unfairly - for doing nothing more than stating a small flaw that can spoil info that other fms may not want to see until it's revealed on the show.
