Why So Many Posts On The Same Topics?

[Steve.r]

I think the problem is this:

When you join the forum you tend to look in the forum sections that interest you the most, so you can sort out, ask or research the problems you are having.

To be a part of the forum, you then start to look in other areas of the forum, or try to keep up with the newest posts. I think most people will click the 'What's New' tab or the 'new posts' tab at the top of the forum page. At this point, and only here as I see it, are you bombarded with all the most popular posts... which are the ones relating to all the subjects/news items/ more passionate threads/posts of the day (which are in their own appropriate sections)
It can make it look like all we do is bitch about 'immigration' and bleat about the 'red tops' but these are subjects close to our hearts because of our outrage at the government who seem not to do anything but make out paths more difficult to follow.

No one here has changed, the forum is as friendly now as it has ever been and the wealth of experience that is freely given is clearly first class.

If these newest posts in the news sections were not visible in the 'new posts' & 'what's new' tabs, all would be well with the world as far as I can see. But I am not sure if this is a possible to achieve with the forum software and is for the boss to decide on.

There's always other poor imitation forums that get 3 or 4 posts a day

Yes, I mean, I am not so interested in this topic so I will give it a wide berth......

Don't let the door smack you on the backside on your way out.

most people are not, but then they wonder why over the years its become more expensive and why there are more conditions in getting a visa, some people should be worried what's going to happen in a couple of months from now

your paying for your wife to have the privilege of living in the UK and your paying for those who dont pay

... after 5yrs on here, I've tried to help people out ... maybe its time I call this a day, i've got bigger problem in my life than this i should be sorting out..

You HAVE helped countless people out joebloggs . I hope indeed you don't call it a day. You supported me from the time I was a " newbie " and you're always helpful, diplomatic ( apart from the banter with Keith " Boss " ), and never confrontational.

Trust Rooney to go and score twice today, I transfered him out of my fantasy team on Friday for being useless for the past month On the plus side I bought Van Persie as his replacement and he got a hatrick against Blackburn

My post always comes late and only one a day

Hey Les....where have you been ?

[Arthur Little]

Hey Les.... where have you been ?

Aha ... I know ... he's been to London to see [IF] the Queen really eats human flesh

(to answer Nigel's [ seemingly perpetual] query!)

[grahamw48]

Yes, I noticed that odd thread keeps popping up Arthur.

[subseastu]

IMPORTANT and RELEVANT 'tangents' IMO, as pointed out.

Not arguing with the subject matter as has been pointed out SOME of the news stories are helpfully and relevant. The question was asked why they appear so much in the loose talk section and not the 2 news sections. Thats all.

I was just trying to take a humerous slant on this contentious thread as a whole. And I had to go anyway, few things to do. In truth I am not too bothered about the organisation of topics on the forum. I noticed early on that a few were in the wrong section but this didn't really bother me too much. I tend to look at what is prevalent / current and use the search function for other stuff.

In short, personally, I am quite happy with the organisation of the forum as it stands. Should it change in the future and be organised in a different way, then no doubt I will still be happy with it. This forum is free and I find it fantastic value for that so I am not bothered about any minor drawbacks.

And of course I have found your postings, Joe, highly helpful and informative. I may well not have been aware of Damian Greens speech on 2nd Feb if your original posting hadn't drawn my attention to it. Depending on the topic, I usually take a look at your postings with attached links to various newspaper articles..

are there sections then, i just write something and send it, silly me

not a problem at all

i'm just as angry as i was 10yrs+ ago having to show this and that and play the waiting game, in the end i complained to the embassy, things are even more expensive now than then and more hoops to jump thru

[lastlid]

it might be a good idea to have a section dedicated to 'Immigration Abuse' or something similar so people are aware of what is going on,

Good idea.

I have found that such postings give me a good background understanding on the subject of Immigration to the UK - helps me get my head around the whys and wherefores. Like I say, I dont always read all posts or all of the posts contents in this subject area but certainly do dip into them with a degree of regularity.
