    Maybe while she has the ear of the mods, she could ask for the glitches to be sorted.

    Well knock me down with a feather!!!  🕊
    All this talk of nasty PMs which I have not sent, and guess what ... I've received one from @bronall ... who'd a thunk it ... what a duplicitous piece of work. 

    Of course I will not reply to it ... if I did she could say I'd been sending her nasty PMs couldn't she?  As I said ... a set up.

     But I will reproduce it here and I'll report it to @Daniel Haynes to keep him in the loop so to speak  :)

    I thought your nasty comments today were completely unnecessary. If you had bothered to read my post correctly then you would have known I was talking about subscriber articles and not forum posts.
    This is only the second time I have used this forum, despite being a member of GW for years. The reason I don't normally use it is because many friends have warned me there are some very nasty, arrogant high and mighty people on there who are too stupid to be able to read posts properly. I see that in some cases, ie yours, they are right.
    I will not be posting again, so you will not have another opportunity to be nasty to me."

    Wow! Now who's being nasty?

    Now it's her turn to post what she says I've sent to her ............  but she can't.

    That's the best thing to do with an offensive pm. Copy and paste it onto the general forum. That's what I would do too

    OK.  I admit I was wrong in not saying they should go away - or words to that effect. :D

    Surely the benefit of ANY forum is in the information contained in the old posts? As long as the search tool works ok, this place is a mine of information on plants and gardening - as well as other 'stuff'.

    I would suggest not getting in to the drama. Let it pass with the rest. Don't feed it.

    I wouldn't want to see old discussions removed for the reason stated by SteveTu, but automatically locking them after x months/years of inactivity might make sense.  I quite regularly see a topic on a forum, read the most recent post on it and then realise it has been dormant for years and somebody is using it to plug their product.

    That is really weird @Dovefromabove, you didn't say anything nasty, she couldn't have read your posts properly.

    Like I said @Busy-Lizzie it is reminiscent of tactics that have been used before. 😡 

    By posting her nasty pm to me I’ve proved her to be a very odd character indeed .., I’ve not sent her a PM so she cannot prove her lies. 

    I’ve been here too long to get upset by idiots but I will always defend my own integrity ... but now it’s all over .., let’s move on 😊

    I agree. I've searched for things and found posts as old as 10 years that have been very useful.
