    It's something new the owners of the site are trying. These are people who fill in an ask a question box that's on some web pages out there. It's just like the square one on the right side of this forum  above Top Contributors -------->


    They do not need to create an account. They just type a question in the box and send. I'm not sure where they get their answer though.

    Coleen, This is the same thing that happend to me when I could not get to this site the same old way I had been day after day. All I could see was a box to ask a question and then I could review the response you gave but never could I see any other questions are comments etc.

    Hmmm. Where could you review it? Did you get an alert or anything like the notifications button?

    Yes, I think it just said ,"your question has been answerd".Then it gave me a button to click to read the response. When you would post an answer or if Randy or Leeroy responded to you, I could also see what they wrote.

    So unless you come back to the site, you'd never know you got an answer. I think these people who use the ask a question box on other web pages think it's a chat box and expect someone to be right there to answer them. That's why so many more questions are repeated 4 or 5 times in a row. OK..that's also why if they don't get answered right as away, they never comeback because they must figure the "chat box" doesn't work.

    Oh pythonlover I am glad I am not the only one who has noticed this thought I was going mad for a moment! its proberly a little gang of them! what do you think or could it be Ailians !who knows thanks for for the answer

    Maybe the aliens are seeking certain responses. Like they're checking for all members who say "strawberry" or "wheat" or "sex" If that word is mentioned, they tick it off. after they get to five, off goes the member in the flying teacup or the silver spoon. that's why some people are not seen. colleen is one who returns. Maybe she's the copilot?

    melandrupert

    oh itsmee that was really funnie good one thanks for that

    Copilot?? Heck I'm the Pilot! Eggie is the Co-pilot, lol :D

    Here in America i FEAR that if things keep going the way they are we  will all be required to give up our personal names and take a number.  It's getting that way..
