    After their first post they had 4 posts. When I looked at their forum posts I could only see one.

    I am perplexed. I wonder if NF can elucidate?
    New posters generally need to get their posts approved to start with. I can't remember the exact way it works, it might be that if they try to start a new thread, it must be approved if they have less than x posts.

      Morning all.

      Oddly odd dreams last night: I seem to have got stuck in "Live Die Repeat" for some very odd reason which quite escapes me.

      Sunny out with fluffy clouds.

      Dunno what the forecast is.

      Quite chilly in here at 21 deg.
      When the fun stops, STOP.

        Squirrels and cyclists aren't on the verge of extinction.

          I used CS5 for a bit - particularly Photoshop and Dreamweaver.

            Assisting suicide or forcing (encouraging) someone to commit (or attempt) suicide is an offence in the UK. That's what section 2 of the Suicide Act (1961) clearly states.

              I am not sure telling someone to borrow money could be taken that way though.

              Anyway, cheers for your thoughts. I spoke to Phil - he is totally outraged and will be putting himself between the victim and HMRC. And will take up the case with MPs.

                This poster joined 2006 though. I think the x limit rule was introduced around 2010?

                2006 was a good year for new poster joiners.....

                    Morning denizens

                    Lots of white fluffiness out there so the sun keeps hiding briefly, but it's quite pleasant (if you like sun) overall

                    We were supposed to be having rain, but that's been rescheduled for tonight

                      I'm not sure, but I've seen similar phenomena, where older posts don't seem to show up in search results (for some reason, the forum software implements "show this user's posts" as a kind of search). I'll have a dig around in my local copy of the database and see if the post count is correct, and if so I'll be able to find the older posts
