Is it me or the forum has been "slow" lately? 

There used to be juicy stories and lively conversations, but all I stumble upon now, are threads with questions that could be easily solved by using Google or actually reading the instructions of forms.

"What's Google, and what are instructions," huh AAW ma'am?

And what are you doing up past midnight, huh young lady ma'am?!

I feel like there are less "educated" people on the general forums lately. Whether that is because they've found a community on FB or reddit or aren't interested, I don't know.

Yes, sounds plausible. Lately people have been posting questions based on wrong information, maybe gotten from FB groups.

I swear there are some people that follow you around purposefully to point out any errors they may find. #####  the upper forums.

I agree on this one... it led me to drop out totally for about 6 months as I was tired of the pedantic correctness that I was getting on anything I posted 😖

[NikLR 13,232]

Admittedly i am a bit of a pedantic person.  But constantly correcting people on forums isn't worth my time.

Me too. There’s a huge difference between correcting a significant error and letting through  something that really isn’t exactly the full explanation but doesn’t impact the answer ! 

I’m seeing way more new posters who want everyone else to do all the work for them and take none of the responsibility themselves. Having said that I owe an apology to @Ontarkie  cos I still haven’t got used to checking the forum of each post I look at and moving it if needed .. highly irresponsible of me I know ! 🤪. Carelessly posting and having someone else follow me around correcting  the forum !

Not as often as me I bet!! Just redeemed myself though by moving one thread !

Insurance chap coming tomorrow. Seems I no longer have a washer and dryer either.  Of course I didn't work that out until the machine had filled, and wouldn't do anything else. So I rung it out and put it on the clothesline.

No internet at all most of the afternoon, and net-light now. I have reached the giddy limit with this week 😕

What are you talking about? Correcting people on a public forum is empowering and makes you feel almighty.
