Me too. I have gotten a red X for saying something so bland and obviously correct that I was shocked. Like if you say, "I like my 340. I think is a great blend of power and decent mileage." and you get a red X. And you ask the person why, and you get no answer.

I like the direction this thread has taken. I can always use a good laugh.

I don't need it. If I disagree with someone, I will explain it to them as nicely as possible, and we normally have a nice exchange. When I did hit the red X, it was usually for something I really disagreed with and the person was acting like a total *** clown. Even then, I still let them know...

True, True, True. Young kids today are NOT being taught how to communicate in person at all. They are OK with social media communications, because there are NO concerns for politeness, grammar spelling, punctuation and capital letters. Their official written communication skills are another...

Which finger?

Only if it is the politically correct color. It can't be yellow, white, black brown or red. Would green offend the Irish? Would orange offend people from Tennessee? Blue would be good. Only the Smurfs would be offended, and who cares what they think.

Agreed. Most of the time I got a red X, it was because I called somebody out on something, and they didn't like it. The rest of the time, people disagreed with something I said about something mechanical or electrical. But I'm going to say that most of them were laughable. Bring it.

I'm OK with the RED X being gone. There is still the IGNORE button! Plus, it is true that it is easy to fat finger the button. Now, at least, if someone disagrees with you, they will be forced to face you and say it out loud. I rarely hit the red X, but when I did, I always backed it up by...

I hear that January 15 is National Slap an Idiot day. Will you be busy? I know I will be! :rofl::rofl:

I pretty much agree with this as it applies to things I choose to do. For instance; there was an R rated movie called Showgirls that came out about 15 years ago. There was a LOT of nudity in it. There were a bunch of people protesting at the movie theater demanding that the movie be canceled by...

OMG, @toolmanmike, I never thought about that. you CAN'T ignore people, can you? I have only ignored 5 or 6 people, and they needed it. @RustyRatRod, I bet everyone on my list is on yours. LOL.

I TOTALLY agree, but let me tell you my secret!. I am a pretty good cook, but my specialty is cookies. My chocolate chip cookies (CCCs) are the bomb! People go nuts over them. When I tell them I use the recipe off the back of the Nestle bag, they can't believe it. Here is the secret. Try it and...

Damn, @rumblefish360, now I want Chocolate Chip Cookies hot and fresh out of the oven. I guess I better get busy.

I do use a VPN. I have had McAfee for several years, and just activated the VPN a few months ago. The way I understood it, the VPN was added protection against cyber threats. I may do some more research on that. Thanks, Joey.

This happened again yesterday. I turn on my laptop and log onto FABO only to get the FABO web page header with a message saying, "Your IP Address Has Been Banned". I always think it might be a glitch of some kind, but after multiple login attempts, I get the same message. This time it only...

Can you give us any hints on improvements???

I have some pop ups too. I look at it like this; I LOVE being on this forum and interacting with like-minded people. If that means dealing with a few pop-up ads, so be it. It is a minor inconvenience, but I just power past it. The owner of this forum does not present it to us at no charge out of...

What the heck is the point???

Plus, I don't want that guy biting me!!!

Wow. I have never had ads like that on this site.

There used to be a difference between New Posts and Recent Posts. However, regardless of which one I choose now (at least on my laptop), I get the same posts in the same order. Plus, If I select Recent Posts, The information line tells me I am looking an "New Posts"? So is there a difference?

I love change for the sake of change.

and soft.

When was FABO started?

Steve and RRR, you don't whine, ***** and complain. You tactfully point out the errors, lack of tact, lack of intelligence, and inability to effectively communicate that keep people from succeeding on this forum and in life itself. They should thank you for your considerate coaching. Some people...

What's funny is that I went at least 15 years without ignoring anybody, but in about the last year there have been several people whose comments are so caustic and crude, I ignored them. I'm sure it really hurts their feelings. Don't worry, Steve, I won't ignore you.

Me too; I'm no saint, but I would like us all to be a little nicer to each other.

Well, I have been on this forum for a long time, and I have noticed an increase in threads being hijacked with unpleasant and unnecessary foul language and nasty name calling, and threads being hijacked with political, religious and COVID vaccination comments. I think that if you have something...

AND make sure you describe the item completely, post a sufficient number of clear pictures and post a reasonable price. A clear and succinct title is nice also.

EVERY SINGLE time I am on FABO, I get kicked off 2 or 3 times with a popup warning that McAffee has detected a dangerous threat on the site I am on now, and it wants me to run Anti Virus software. I DO have McAffee, but it looks like phishing to me, so I never fall for it. And if I bring up my...
