In this section I could post every single day :D

I will only tell one story for now, from the enormous list called "Things on CBF that Irritate Me".

Somebody came and asked a question a few days ago. In two days, two pages of answers, opinions, tips and pointers had come as replies to the original question.

I saw the original poster was back online and checked, sure enough he was reading the 2 pages of replies to his question.

Having read them, he was gone.

I don't know why, but it really, really annoys me that after nearly 20 helpful replies from a variety of members, who took time to help, they couldn't find the time even to write "Thanks" in the quick reply box.

Maybe it's my age :-\

you should chill out Mr s....dont let things get to you....get bigger shoulders....but most off all...dont let the bug*ers grind you down:D:D:D

your right of course...it only takes a second or two to say thanks...if they even said "thanks for any replies" in the original post would be at least acceptable.:P

Ok since the topic looks to be quite popular

People who join just to advertise something. As I call them the "I have nothing to offer this forum apart from the things I charge for" types.

My greatest irritant of all

People who quote the person above them, and post it. Surely they know, if they didn't type any words of their own then they didn't add anything. What do they think they were doing lol

People who correct themselves in a totally separate reply instead of using the edit option.

It annoys me when people aren't sufficiently vague, as and when required  ;)

No, that's me explaining that I didn't want to make it obvious who I was talking about  :)

Another one

People who moan and say "The problem with this forum is..." which actually makes no sense at all. At best they might say "The problem with some of the people who post on this forum is..."

Ah - but you might be wrong there because we are seen as a "collective" in the same way that people refer to "the problem with Leeds / Man Utd fans is" - so we are a community - and I think someone should take responsibility for that???? :D
