if a new topic hangs for ages with spinning icon at "queued for processing " should you give up and post a new copy of the thread or will the eventually result in two threads?.

if it has cleared the first tick "uploading post" can you safely click away from the page?.

servers seem a bit slow recently?.

You might want to send Simon a message, if there is no reason for posts to be limited. Especially if you were here when the forum was 'switched over' (for lack of a better term). Some of the accounts aren't working properly, and that's a reason why you see older members with a new id (usually their old name with a number).

hey, stan livedeath - again? that sucks.

Queued for Processing ....

As a new poster, you have daily posting limit. Simon has it posted here somewhere. After a month (I think), your limit will go up.

One reason for this, is to prevent spammers from joining. If they have a low limit of posts, they cannot effectively spam the board before being detected.

Once you've reached your 24-hour posting limit, let's say it's 5. Post #6 will remain processing, until 24 hours after your first post. It should remain 'in processing', then voila, it appears, perhaps several pages later. So, the posts 'stack up'. Sometimes they get lost.

My account was having this happen after we switched over to the new forum... yeah, frustrating. But Simon is tweaking, and it's good to let him know when having problems.

Simon has written about this, so that's loosely how it works, my details are sketchy. xx tal

You need to apply some basics of debate, fisherman. This,

.

Are you dictating the morality that a boy 16 or younger should not get married to a 69 year old man( It is legal )? Do you want to use legal means to force your morality upon others.

is called a 'straw man' argument (or non argument, actually). Straw man will always get picked up on in this forum, as will 'red herring', etc.

As for my other comment, it's not up for debate. I think I was very clear. : )

you can believe that it is wrong if you like, but if you do not like it, it is not your business to dictate morality to the WT.

When you are talking child rape and molestation of any kind, I will dictate to anyone I please, thank-you-very-much. : )

If you wish to defend the JWS for propagating child sexual abuse, and protecting pedophiles, have at it. *shrugs*

friends

she is michal, her father acts like saul, and i'm david.. i do care for her since she's vulnerable and weak, i consider myself for her protector a personal kevin kostner.but this is very time consuming, nerve wracking endeavour.. she acts childish, insensitive and insecure, i have spent *** dont' know how many sleepless *** nights, in the last 3 months we're playing cat and mouse, cold and warm & i'm fed up.. this kind of irresponsible behaviour is not yet written in the manual for me to look for an answer.. but finally i do know what i need.

i will look for my bathsheba and settle down..
