    I feel like we need a thread reason to be cheerful for the new site. Haha

    im happy to have emojis on here now 😊

    and uploading photos directly from your phone without having to use a storage site is very handy.

    I have a profile pic for the first time ever, and am also happy to have emojis on here ☺️

    At least things seem to be slightly better so cheerful about that 😀



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,865 ✭✭✭TRS30


    On second looks, things seem to be the same. I thought I saw a couple of new things when I first logged in.

    Can you not edit your own posts anymore or am I just missing something?!?

    You can edit for 1 day (click the gear icon) on mobile anyway, but you can't delete. So annoying

    Until we get dark mode it's a struggle for me, the white screens are terrible on the eyes. Editing quotes would be useful, as would bolding unread threads with new posts, a 'my forums' list would be handy too.


    The big thing seems to be that it just feels less inviting to post, I used to love checking in here and chatting about Christmas but I'm not getting that warm fuzzy feeling atm. Maybe it's because less posters have rejoined yet or something... I'm sure it'll settle down over time and as long as the gangs all here, we'll be grand.

    Seems you can do more on mobile then desktop! Maybe that is way it's intended however doesn't really suit me.

    I can't seem to edit my own post on desktop at all.

    I use desktop mostly myself, you still have the 24 hour edit function though. Click on the 3 dots in the top right corner of your post & it brinsg up the edit box indicating the amount of time you have left to edit.

    My son and his girlfriend (both 27) got their first vaccine on Monday so hopefully we will be out of lockdown very soon.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,666 ✭✭✭tscul32


    The weather should be enough of a reason to be cheerful 🌞

    Have my niece over for the afternoon so she'll keep my youngest occupied and away from a screen. Then her parents are staying for a BBQ when they collect her. More normality, sitting around, chatting to people - all fully vaccinated. Much needed at this stage.

    My youngest son is only 19 and he is getting his first vaccine today and he only registered yesterday so hopefully in a month we will have near full immunity.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 11,314 ✭✭✭✭DvB


    That the MRNA vaccine? Brilliant if so. Have heard of a few in their early twenties getting the J&J one but not the Pfizer or moderna ones... if we're doing people that young already it's a really good sign.


    I wish someone would tell NPHET that though... they seem happy to reinforce the fear propaganda atm.

    He's getting Pfizer so we're happy about that. We live in Ashbourne so he's going to the vaccine centre in Fairyhouse. Not sure how quick it is for young people in other regions.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 11,314 ✭✭✭✭DvB


    Brilliant stuff. At one stage it was reported Meath was miles off the pace (live on the Dublin, Meath, Kildare border myself) so they've caught up fast by the looks of it. It genuinely cheers me up to see our vaccination programme being such a success.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 11,314 ✭✭✭✭DvB


    Heading to Mayo for the week, leaving in a couple of hours in fact. Looking forward to a hotel stay too, can avail of the bar and restaurant which will be a most pleasant change... might even be able to avail of normal indoor hospitality come Monday too as we all have our covid digital certs 😀

    I've been done and dusty for awhile now. Also have my cert on my phone just in case. No mad rush to eat inside or go away however nice to know I can if the situation arises.
