Uncensored Facebook (August)

[Marrow]

There's that, but also the safeguards that have been put in place since everyone except the mods got spam pms.

You first few posts need to be approved by a mod at the moment, and I suspect the time-lag involved with that is also putting people off. Not so much lately, but there have been a few occasions where I've been able to log in and see all the mod stuff, but I haven't been able to approve anything. So the posts have festered, invisible to all but the mods, for even longer.

I haven't had problems logging on but... I know loads of you have so the forum is quiet so I've chosen not to bother posting stuff I've wanted to. I approve posts when I'm on but I expect I'm on less for reasons stated.

Today should be my wedding anniversary.

Bit of a weird one really & I don't particularly feel upset but it's still just *there*.

I have trouble logging on. I get an error message about 49 times out of 50 logging on!

I know from posts in the Super Secret Facebook Group that Jem and Aitch have both been working on the problem(s). There was a suggestion made by an oldie that we just move our community there and abscond from this URL. Personally, I don't know how I feel about that. I'm not a huge fan of Facebook, and I often come here to chat pq I don't want to deal with the information overload that is Facebook. I resisted it for years, and I know some of you still aren't on there. I wouldn't want people to feel like they have to be on Facebook to continue to be part of our community.

There's no way I'd say half the stuff I say on here on FB...

[qbm]

I like the anonymity as well!

And so you should, qbm - I dreamt the other day that you posted on here completely laying into me, criticising me for saying I receive £20k in benefits. Absolutely none of my dream had any basis in reality, other than the forum and your name, but I woke up most indignant! How very dare you have a go at me *in my dreams* about a post I didn't make about benefits I don't receive! Still, I think I mostly dreamt about soy sauce last night, so you know, I'm not reading too much into any of it

[qbm]

I can only apologise for my terrible behaviour in your dream...!

I once had a really, really dodgy dream about a very good friend who I worked with at the time and I couldn't look or speak to him the next day despite knowing *nothing* had actually happened.

[emzit]

I don't remember the dream, but I once woke up absolutely convinced I'd cheated on DH (then boyfriend) with my flat mate. The only thing that stopped me confessing was when I worked pu I couldn't possibly have as I hadn't felt like that the day before and we were on holidays in Cornwall at the time!

i wouldn't want to post in the FB group either. Obviously a lot of people here know who I am in real life and I'm comfortable with that, but there are a lot of people in the fb group that I don't know and I wouldn't want to get rid of that layer of anonymity.

[EnigmaFish]

Yeah, I'm the same. I like the anonymity, even though I know most of you on Facebook and know your real names and faces.
I don't know if many of the oldies who are in the Facebook group even read the posts anymore. Occasionally one of them will reply to a comment but it's mostly the same people who post here posting on there.

This is brilliant.

So the posts have festered, invisible to all but the mods, for even longer.

I didn't realize this was an issue, so I've started checking the "Notify poster of approval" box when I approve a post. Not sure what the rest of the mods have been doing, I daresay they're all more foresight full than I am, but hopefully doing this helps a little...

Noooo... My period has decided to make a surprise return today. A is 15 months old so I guess I should be grateful it stayed away this long, but with L it didn't come back until 18 months. I was kind of counting on the fact that she still nurses in the night and I'm still constantly exhausted to keep it at bay a while longer. Darn.
