How about giving people a chance, maybe giving it the odd nudge, rather than deleting the thread because it didn't get enough replies in your opinion.

The tips board seems to be one a lot of people use to post for help, so I think threads providing useful informaiton can easily get lost among the requests for help.

hi julie

I'm sure people are guilty, like I am, of checking the websites out but then forgetting to say thank you to the person that highlighted it in the 1st place

Hi Julie -

A bit more than a year ago I spent ten days indexing by groom AND by bride, the complete list of wrongly ordered certificates on this site. Talk about a labour of love!!

I posted it and got not a single comment - much less a thank you. It is still here somewhere but I believe there are now other sites that list them.

Needless to say I did not bother to keep it updated [although that limited it's long-term usefulness] due to terminal ennui.

Thanks everyone for your comments

Victoria, im sorry to hear that i must admit as i don't remember seeing it.

I think the thing is when i 1st joined this site ( 6 years ago ) if anyone ever put up the link to a good site i would have a look, someone also did a list of sites which i printed off.

To me now all i see is people not wanting do it for themselves they want others to do it for them & that is such a shame

As I explained to you on the thread, having had my PC infected by spyware and hijacks before that were extremely difficult to remove, I was just wary of stopping my pop-up blocker.

It was case of once bitten, twice shy.

I'm sorry if I offended you, I did look for your thread this morning but it had gone.

Regards

Jeannie
