  2. He-he-he - after 30 plus years in software test you may be closer to the truth than you think :laughing:

    Although tbf the sex offenders tend to be 'lone dark room wolfs' as depicted by Hollywood and copied by those who believe it. They never get jobs in industry invariably because the greater proportion are no where near as good as they think they are.

    I've worked with a few of the friendless ones who, almost without exception, are so far more knowledgeable & gifted than the rest of us that I've always suspected they have little desire to consort with those who work on a much lower plane. You know the type, they have their own take on clothing & no concern for day to day happenings but do have a couple of degrees plus an MPhil and an ability to complete the Times crossword in their heads.

    And it must be said, I have to doff my cap to the latter because at least they are ploughing their own furrow with errr... style rather than fashion.

  3. Not been on the site for the past few days as I’ve been riding my bike around Northern Ireland and Eire. Just got back a couple of hours ago so I’m trying to sort myself out first.

    When I click it it says Ducati forum error
     
  5. I see @RickyX is giving out random emojies

  8. Really?
    I need to check, how do I do that?

    • Thanks Thanks x 1
  10. Sev specifically asked for his past posts to be deleted and he’d start again, but just on technical issues.
     
  11. Took a look at my profile and saw about four or five “disagree” ratings - now all undone.
     
    • Thanks Thanks x 2

  12. Same for me on my iPhone
    At work last week got talking to a member of staff who’d swapped being a software engineer as he found his work colleagues totally devoid of any soul and more importantly at work banter.

  14. Gixerade disagreed with a lot of things...
     
  15. How many people scroll on their hand held device using their right thumb ? The rating emoji banner is positioned right where your thumb contacts the screen. It seems to me, the banner has become more sensitive to unintentional contact. Andy
     
  16. I can only comment for an iPhone user browsing with Safari but for me the ratings banner is not sensitive to a light push up of the screen with the RH thumb (I just tried to accidentally nuke your post - no can do) it has to be a firmer press and hold for the rating to be selected.

  17. Yes I do but as far as I know I’ve not given any unintended ratings.

    Strange that Gixerade has posted nothing yet has given ratings?
     
  18. I can’t even find that user

    Edit, the search function did find him on the 3rd attempt but he’s locked his profile

  19. Unavailable profile….but when I clicked on the rating notification I can see Male from Belfast, joined yesterday, last seen 10hr 46 m ago and has posted nothing nor received any ratings.
     
  20. It’s curious he’s locked his profile since he became the topic of conversation.

    AFAIK in order to rate others posts one must have subscribed.

    It makes me think of that charlatan wannabe barrister Ozzie troll who keeps joining bike forums under false IDs just to create havoc :thinkingface:
