You have not been "away for a few days" as you have been very active on AD since joining. I would have been far more understanding had you not been logged in so much!
^ that was a scenario for a noob joining and getting the same hastle /crap we have had... we are not dn noobs... we were very active on acorn before joining, acorn is not the only place to visit online, we could get online lots, answering PM's that were queued while we sorted them to delete was the issue...
Yes, I can appreciate that you may have had to clear out your mailbox a few times, but if you're anything like me, you'll be getting the PM alert in your email inbox, which will detail the messages I've sent the last couple of days.
There are also options for email notification in the "Thread Subscription" that would email any changes in the threads you have posted on.
^ mmm... s.pam
I'm not going to get my knickers in a twist over £7, so let's just move on and hopefully we will see you being a valued member of AD.
