Tech people...

[YetMoreTech]

I am quite sure you all want to join me in saying hello to the latest addition to the team: TomTech.

BigTech has moved on but his shoes are being expertly filled by Tom (not literally of course - BigTech's shoes were befittingly huuuuuge).

Be nice and remember that not everyone in the world knows what "i cant get classic in aibu since i searched for dragonbutter " means quite yet.

Whilst we're about it, NikitaTech is going on maternity leave in a couple of weeks, but she'll be back later in the year.

Meanwhile it's business as usual...

[KentuckyFriedPenguin]

Hang on ... OriginalTech left for the big shed in America, BigTech has flounced joined a smaller forum, nikitatech is making babies, TomTech is new tech who we must be nice to and you YetMoreTech who has converted his tech shed into a pub?

[Poledra]

Soooooo, where has BigTech gone then?? Does he prefer to work for smaller start-ups, is that it? Or has ShowofHands just pushed him Too Far with her requests for a Friday Night topic?

Welcome Tomtech, and good luck to NikitaTech with the baby

[JJ]

Oooh, congratulations Nikita!

[OliviaMumsnet]

Welcome TomTech

[morningpaper]

Hello TomTech! (What is he like? Is he over 14?)

Nikitatech how can she be pregnant? She was surely only 12 herself?

Big Tech

[YetMoreTech]

KentuckyFriedPenguin, yeah, so what's your problem?

[psychomum5]

this does not help my shuddering and stuttering brian you know.....it is worn out enough just trying to keep up with helen/gereldine/oliviamumsnet et al.

there is no sympathy for the oddities among us

MP, how is mini MP?? is she recovering nicely??

[morningpaper]

MiniMP is sort of rotting to death but seems quite cheery

I, on the other hand, am KNACKERED

and also a bit bored of children now

[KentuckyFriedPenguin]

No problem - just checking i was up to date and wondering if MNHQ keep poisoning your biscuits because you all keep disappearing!

[Slur]

Welcome TomTech!

(Have you received the standard issue techtoolbelt yet? And did yours come with extra cake and merlot and the rope just long enough to hang yourself.....? [snigger])

I think someone has killed BigTech. We need a live webchat episode a la Eastenders with the prime suspects all leading to a dramatic confession.......

My money's on YMT and probably involves loan sharks.

[lizziemun]

Welcome tomtech.

I have a quick question for you.

why are some threads underlined in orange instead of blue, and why do some have no underlines at all.

[JustKeepSwimming]

Hello & welcome TomTech

Another Q for you: why have my "Threads I'm Watching" all disappeared???

[PestoMonster]

And mine don't change colour after I've read them even though they do initially when I click on 'em.

Revert back to hiding amongst all my unread threads once I go back onto Active Convos.

Most annoying

[JJ]

Pesto, if you're using Firefox, you can use the Stylish add-on to do that and make it more pleasing colours.

My custom one is:
@-moz-document domain('www.mumsnet.com'){
#Talk2 a {color:#369 !important; text-decoration:none !important;}
#Talk2 a:visited {color:#870099 !important;}
#Talk2 a:hover {text-decoration:underline !important;}
}

You need to choose Mumsnet Sober Workplace from the customise link or change the #Talk2 bit to #Talk0 for Muted, #Talk1 for Classic or #Talk3 for New.

[PestoMonster]

Thanks JJ, I don't think I am though sadly. Will try & collar my computer man when he comes on Friday

[JustKeepSwimming]

TomTech (or AnyoneAtAllTech) - any news about my lost Threads I'm Watching???

[BecauseImWorthIt]

But no-one has fixed that rogue space yet. I reckon that's where all the stuff is coming through. It's why BigTech has moved on. I know he is a broken man since the voices started coming through the space at him.

And undoubtedly it is why NikitaTech is up the duff.

So welcome TomTech. Just watch yourself.
