  • Well you seem to have managed to post ok.

  • Hi Mick

    Maureen McCann here. If you click on  BLOGS  at top of page you will find that much better. Everybody posts their comments and answers there each day. Good luck :o)

  • Hi everybody

     

    Got to agree with Mick this is not the easiest forum to "post " on I have used spent about an hour flicking between "blogs","forums" etc etc and no "obvious " way to post !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Will surf a bit more and see . The only way I have got on is by "replying" and as for the help link well !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.

    Right whinge over can anybody tell me if the Satellite tracking is still active for Nethy ? Is she OK ? Has she come home ?

  • Hiya again everyone,

                 Thanks to everyone who replied.

                  The "reply" button was not there before !!!

                  Now something equally important.....How do I stop e.mails coming in every time someone replies ?

                    I can't be doing with that...every time I go into mail there are messages....I want to look at the forum to see what's going on.....Please don't think I don't appreciate your help....I do very much.....thank you all again.

                     Mick..........First,there was no "post"button,but now it's appeared !!!!!!!!

  • Clansman,

    Nethy went missing in action in Guinea Bissau in March. They are not sure what happened but her satellite stopped moving - we are all hoping it became detached somehow and Nethy will reappear in scotland in 2011. Here's hoping

  • Don't know if anyone else has replied yet - if you go to your own page (click on "my page", then click on edit profile.  On the page where you filled in all your info there is a yes/no  button for "receive notifications" (orsomething like that).  Make sure you have clicked on "no"!

     

    Have a good (albeit wet) day!

           I will try to post this,and if it doesn't work....I give up !!

         I'll experiment tomorrow.

  • It is all very experimental just now. Still trying things is the only way to find out.

  • Hi Clansman

    I'm still in the same boat as you, think it will take me awhile to master things. But can give you info on Nethy-  although not when it was without a search - her sat tag stopped responding mnths ago around The Gambia I think, and she had either died or hopefully the tag had somehow come off. Many people are hoping like me it was the latter and we will see her back and rearing a family of her own. She was such a tough and canny bird we must just keep our fingers that she survived.

    The official position is that Nethy is missing in action presumed dead. Personally I do not expect to see Nethy again.

    The blog announcing her demise is here. See http://www.rspb.org.uk/community/blogs/lochgartenospreys/archive/2009/04/02/EJ_2700_s-fine_2C00_-but_2E00__2E00__2E00__2E00__2E00__2E00_.aspx

  • Hiya all...

        I spent another half hour trying to post on this forum....it's crazy !!!    Still don't know what I did to get here !!

        What genius thought this lot up?

        I'm on several other forums,and they're easy...but this one....the mind boggles !!

        I will try a few more times,then if I don't work it out,I will officially surrender to the workings of this site !!.....such a pity.

  • Hi Mike!  It seems you are managing to post in some fashion, so you are doing something right.  What might be throwing you off is that you have to click on <Reply> in the previous posting to make the next entry on that thread. 

     

    Now, if you DON'T use <Click to include in your reply> before you post your entry, it will just link onto the tail end of the thread, without quoting the whole of the previous posting first. 

     

    When you WOULD use <Click to include in your reply> is when you want to reply to a specific posting in the thread.  Lets just say that someone about half way down the thread has asked a question that you want to answer.  You would click on the <Reply> button in that post, and also on <Click to include in your reply> before you post your response.  Then your response, pluse the quoted entry you were responding to, will be found as the last entry in that thread.

     

    At the top of this page, can you see a black bar with <My Page> <My Friends> <Sign Out>  <Help> on it?  This is your personal navigation bar.  Underneath this is a large yellow bar, which probably has 'Forums' showingon the left side of it right now.  On the right you will see <Blogs> <Forums> <Galleries> <Groups>.  This is the Community navigation bar, to help you move around the website.  <Blog> wil take you to the LG blog we are all familiar with, and you can make an entry as you have in the past there.  <Forums> will get you back here.

     

    Hope this has helped you.  This is new to all of us, including the team who set it up for us.  Of course there will be teething troubles as we come to grips with it.  That's to be expected.  Please just hang in there with the rest of us and I'm sure you'll soon be fine!

    Smiles, Jan.
