I can't see my profile, says it's not available. TBF it's looked like that for a couple of days

FishOn · 21/08/2015 18:17

actually that's a lie - I can see my empty profile, but not my public page

I am sure the leggings are Sainsbury's, through you have to be careful over the over friendly till staff.

My profile was empty a few minutes back but it's now showing a processing error and not letting me in. I guess that most of the board are checking theirs and it's overloaded.

If your profile is empty you have no public profile page....

Simurgh · 21/08/2015 18:23

That's good. All I need to do now is see my empty profile!

An attempt has been made on one of my accounts . May be coincidence .
Do not reply folks to any one like Amazon that refer to you as **user. Common sense I know but easy to forget .be vigilant .

FishOn · 21/08/2015 18:26

phew

I did have a rough location in there a while back so maybe remembered having it from that

It will be a time when the spammers gear up a bit, I'm afraid. Like Xmas and big holidays when people might be distracted for some reason. Exercise all caution.

That clown isn't Twisty. The clown picture being used is from American Horror Story, but it was just a generic clown. Twisty has silly hair and half of his face missing [smiles]

iamaboveandBeyond · 21/08/2015 18:28

If i hadnt been checking to see if mine was the same, i wouldnt have spotted that i missed my blog email address when i updated! So if anyone else is as dopey as me, dont forget to change that too!

scatter are you sure?

Monkeyinshoes · 21/08/2015 18:30

Press Ctrl and Prt Sc buttons at same time.

AnyFucker · 21/08/2015 18:31

I ain't clicking no links, dude. Isn't there a keyboard trick I can do ?

SaskiaRembrandtWasFramed · 21/08/2015 18:31

Press the Print Scr button on the top row of your keyboard, open up a graphics programme (I think Paint will do if you're on Windows), and select Edit/Paste. The image will appear and you can save it.

AnyFucker · 21/08/2015 18:32

then what, Monkey ?

howtorebuild · 21/08/2015 18:32

For a laptop, mobile or iPad?

Monkeyinshoes · 21/08/2015 18:32

Then paste it somewhere... Photoshop or other image editing software or even word would do.
