Fear not, you are not alone. It must be our age!
I click on M*M and before it has even loaded my cursor is already over 'Board Index' to get out.

Good point well made!NEILL THE NOTORIOUS wrote:Well --- I read this !!
Nevertheless I thought it valid to ask whether I'm alone in opening a thread in anticipation only to feel a sense of anti climax when discovering that it's just Mallet once again!
I've nothing against Mallet as such. I joined in during the early days to the extent that as of today it still shows as my top thread and accounts for nearly 10% of my posts.
Like I said I'm sad!

Same here! I always click on New Posts or Search Unread Posts when I come to the forum and then only look at the things I want to look at, which no longer include MM! I then Click on Mark Forums Read before I leave so that I don't get the same things again.Mid A 15 wrote:I've nothing against Mallet as such.

Now, this really is sad.
I was attempting to leave a message on a website which I occasionally visit - composed my message, and was confronted by a request for my URL.
What is an URL, and how do I obtain one? I'm sorry to beg for assistance with something which is probably completely obvious to everybody else.
In fact, URL never believe I don't know how to do this!

Normally you can leave that blank, otherwise just write somethiong along the lines of www.private.somewhere (which doesn't exist!)

Thank you David!
Well, I certainly don't have a web page - but will invent something suitable! And now I've added to my mind-stash of Useful Things to Know!
