It's a bit warm for leather jackets, make sure you stay hydrated - we don't want you getting heat stroke & becoming delirious & posting nonsense on here...oh wait 🤔 Be careful with the spitting as well - it'll contribute to your dehydration. Also, check which way the wind's blowing - could end in disaster! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 skankdelvar Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 At a time when our fragile planet is facing a Climate Emergency it ill behoves us to spray emoticons hither and yon with wild abandon. I know that everyone's very excited and I do not wish to be a 'party pooper' but emoticons are widely acknowledged as contributing to increases in carbon dioxide and - as such - free, drifting emoticons put polar bears in the gravest of peril. Please remember this when your fingers edge towards the Emoji button. That is all. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only source my emojis from the most ethical, morally upright sources! They are certified vegan-friendly, organic, and LBGTQWGFAZMT supportive. 🌈 As well as being fully-sustainable, carbon neutral! Every time I use them, I know I'm making the world a better place, & it gives me a tremendous feeling of moral superiority!

It's not bad enough that you don't see the problem, it's the fact that you think you're part of the solution! There's no such thing as a sustainable source for emojis. Once they've all been mined, that's it, they're gone. And conditions in the emoji mines of SE Asia are terrible (there was a Panorama expose on this about six months ago). So not only are you promoting exploitation of child labour, you're also burning your way through a dwindling supply of an increasingly rare commodity - and deluding yourself that you're somehow doing it "responsibly". Get a grip, you hippy!! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but there's a price. Charity Appeal This is Bayu Megawatti. He's 12 years old and he works 18 hours a day, seven days a week in an Indonesian Emoji mine. His parents sold him to the mining company and he hasn't been back to his village for nearly 18 months. Bayu's daily diet is half a ham sandwich and a glass of water. If you think that Bayu's story is unacceptable in the 21st Century then send all your money to: Del Var Helping Hands, PO Box 63, Salisbury SP6 7FU Edited June 24, 2019 by skankdelvar 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 SpondonBassed Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 A little bumpette, if I may... The OP's query is still an issue for me. I see guests have commented in the notifications I get but I can't see those comments. Is it fixed yet? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 BigRedX Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 And the same from me. I just got a notification that a "guest" had posted on a thread I'm following, but there's nothing there to see. Also, I know that thread derailing is what Basschat does best, but is it really appropriate on a technical issues post in the technical issues part of the forum?

0 ped Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 I think the 'guest' post will become visible if said guest then registers their account, otherwise it doesn't show. We have a software update pending so maybe that'll fix it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question
Ricky 4000
I regularly see (in my notifications window), that somebody called "Guest" has posted, but I don't see those posts when I follow the links...
Is there a setting to allow viewing of Guest posts (if by "Guest" it means forum visitors who are not logged in?).
... or is there a real member called "Guest" who presumably has me on ignore!...
In checking this out, I found I accidentally had @AndyTravis on ignore! Sorry Andy, don't know how that happened!!
