Rob Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 The PCGS forum.What a disaster. The forum layout was revised over the past weekend and now there is no login button as there was previously. An invitation to join to reply was duly followed, but wouldn't let me use the same id and details as I had before. Clearly it recognised I should exist. Having joined again using a modified id (and a different email address), I decided to use the help/search facility to search for the means of logging in only to see a login link in the top right of the box. Oh joy! Sadly it doesn't recognise me in either my current or past incarnations and when I try to retrieve my password says that my email address doesn't exist!!! As an added bonus, there is also no 'contact us' link for those wanting to communicate with a human being.What a load of bo***cks. Still, at least it stops people cluttering up the forum with posts.

VickySilver Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Hmmm, I think there was a sign in on the upper right, which I noticed after initial problems like yours....They need some of your sense over there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote
Rob Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Upper right is where the login link used to reside. Now it seems to have disappeared and the only login I could see was in 'Help' - which somewhat ironically didn't work......... Quote
Rob Posted October 22, 2015 Posted October 22, 2015 Oops, meant upper left.....No, I don't see anything upper left, just the CU forum logo and then the various forum tabs down the side. Tells you who is logged in at the bottom, but there isn't a login link in sight. Quote

I presume you mean Sharon, as the only coherent half of the partnership she is the one most likely to construct an offensive statement.Not sure why the other two though. Quote
Rob Posted October 24, 2015 Posted October 24, 2015 (edited) Rob I am able to sign in about 1/4 the way down the left side of the home page on PCGS site.Ah, thanks Vicky. It appears that my login buttons were hidden.What a load of rubbish. They have taken the login fields and hidden them behind an arrow which gives no indication as to what lies below. On the plus side, it appears that both new and old login details work. On the down side, the button to logout is not where the login is found, rather it is in the same place as it was previously - where the login button sat before they messed around with the format. The login button I inadvertently found in help when searching the help files for clues on how to login still doesn't work! I think 'could do better' applies here, so I'll still leave it in Room 101. Trouble is, PCGS are not very amenable to re-education (thinking back to the wax removal service). Edited October 24, 2015 by Rob Quote

Rob Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 (edited) The much used term 'deffo' in order to circumvent any problems arising when trying to spell definately, defiantly, definetly, definitly (sic) http://blog.oxforddictionaries.com/2014/10/definitely-versus-defiantly-difference/ Edited December 24, 2015 by Rob Quote
Paulus Posted December 24, 2015 Author Posted December 24, 2015 With you Rob, ignorance of the 3 Rs is rife it seems, even amongst otherwise 'well-educated' people! Quote
Rob Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 If you can learn deffo, then you might as well learn both definitely and defiantly. That gives you two words with which to bamboozle the general populace instead of using a 'one size fits all' term. I don't object to the occasional error because we are all human, but people could at least demonstrate they have the fundamentals in place. Quote
Nordle11 Posted December 24, 2015 Posted December 24, 2015 As a lover of grammar, I couldn't agree more. It especially pains me to see younger people who've just giving up altogether and resort to things like 'L8' for late or just completely dropping vowels from words If I remember correctly, the millionth(?) word added to dictionary was web2.0. Thats when I truly gave up hope. Quote
