Hello :-)

The ability to reply to the post has been turned of by HU and I have not got a clue why ???

Hopefully someone will message Michael and ask him and then let us know :-) x

I believe the BHF turned off the ability to reply to the post due to someone's disruptive comments.

Hello :-)

I thought that might be the case when I went to have a look after reading this post and spotted it

Such a shame Michael goes to all that trouble for others and then that happens

Thank you for telling us why you think it was closed really appreciate it :-) x

This is getting beyond a joke.The admin know themselves that people appreciate the one off social posts that Michael puts up on the main thread including a quiz.

Someone else's disruptive comments shouldn't have had Michael restricted but had the disruptive replier suspended instead if BHF Admin are responding to what is happening on the forum.

Yet again I say where are they?

Why aren't they noticing that these reports have been made inappropriately against a quiz they approve of Michael doing and sorting out his access problem immediately?

Where are these so called weekly moderators safeguarding authorized forum activity?

Can you , or Michael , as Heart Stars email the Admin using other means to stop these issues happening because of people taking the reporting rules beyond what was intended and causing such distress for most forum members?

It's gone from the sublime to the ridiculous, take care , Bee

The big brother controlling attitude is spoiling the point of being in this group. We all give opinions on our experiences. But even that's questioned as well at times.. Also the amount of posts on the C word. Which is the biggest concern for a lot of us over the last 2 years are also being removed. So how is this helping us with respiratory problems. And why are we never told why they are all being removed Brian

Someone on here was complaining that Michael had stolen the questions from a quiz book!!!! Where did they think he got them from? They weren’t all in his head.

Hello :-)

I am feeling very miserable today saw this reply and you have made me laugh

Where did they think he got them from they weren't all in his head :-D

Thank you for making me laugh :-) x

You’re welcome. His head would be enormous if all those questions were in there! Cheer up and have a good day😀

Really? Where is he supposed to get the questions from? This is becoming a farce. Despite all of his problems, Michael is always upbeat and and helpful. I think he deserves some respect instead of some grumps complaining.

Hello everyone. Just to reassure you I have not been banned! I think the previous restriction was a piece of automatic software that deduced I was spamming as I posted reminders about the quiz in quick succession. I previously ran quizzes on a weekly basis from 2015 - 2020 (the final year was when I had been dumped in a care home). Some questions were new and the initial ones came from my archives (Word documents, etc). These originated from myself and another quizzer I knew at the time. Over time one does not know where the questions originated and with the internet there is a lot of copying.

I will post all the questions with answers in a few days as I am rather tied up. I have been battling macerated wounds/ulcers my remaining foot hoping they will heal rather than go the other way. I am also looking for another property (viewing 2-bed bungalow tomorrow) as a one-bedroomed flat in an over-sixties development is not me! And on Wednesday evening we lost an elderly relative. Whilst sad is was good that her suffering had ended. When I see the phrase "Died p;eacefully surrounded by family" I wonder how often it is really true?

Hello :-)

Michael that looks so painful I really hope they can get it under control and how you cope I will never know you must be so strong :-)

Let us know how you get on with your foot as well as I really hope that Bungalow is going to be somewhere you can move to :-) x

My goodness it looks like a character from a horror film. Perhaps that should be your next quiz question ,Which film horror character is this?

You are really going through the mill , I hope that they can sort this out for you soon. Are you being treated by a specialist at the moment or are you stuck on a waiting list?

Fingers crossed that you will find the perfect home soon too. And my condolences for your loss.

At least everyone knows that you can respond and we're not suspended along with the ability for people to reply to your quiz.

Take your time , I can't believe you put up a quiz at all with everything you are dealing with at the moment.

Take care , Bee

Having known about your situation for some time the way people are dragging their feet (pun not intended) makes me feel the S has fallen off NHS!

Dear Michael Glad you are not banned but sorry to hear of all your troubles. That foot looks really bad I hope it is responding to treatment and you have your family death too plus wanting to move I live in a group of 14 over 60s bungalows and if is great we are very supportive of each other and gave our own gardens but we have pull cords so any medical emergency we can alert someone It's the best of both worlds independence and security if needed so I hope your viewing went well Look afterself

Not what you're looking for?
