This goes out to administrators of the forum. Please can you alter the way in which posts are highlighted so that the relevant posts are titled in bold and moved items etc are not.

I understand you have other commitments and this may be a big ask. I appreciate all the time you put in to making this platform a great informative place and I won't be affended if this isn't followed up.

I don't understand. Relevant to who? Seems to me that would be relative to the user. And what are "moved items"? the only things that get moved (I think) are posts that are worthy of the how-to section, "For Sale" stuff that is not in the appropriate area, and the ever popular slide into "Drama and Bullcrap" when people go off their meds.

I expect I miss a fair bit. I usually hit "new posts" and see what's (obviously) new. I do it pretty much every day, but still stuff slips by. Whatever - I survive, and have gotten used to the peculiarities of this particular format. Yes, I'd like Forza and PCX stuff to have different colored backgrounds, but the underlying software just doesn't support it. The search function is lame, so I use Google or DuckDuckGo.

I am just thankful (appropriate to the day here in the US) that this font of information and worldwide community exists at all.

Just hit “view active topics” that’ll take care of the “relevance”. The administrator here is not gonna change a thing, I wouldn’t either.....

Sorry, but spelling OCD kicked in. It's "offended" :ugeek:

I agree with your sentiment that I quoted, but I think that you might have t find your own solution to the issue.

How's Brum? Been to the NEC?

Haha lilly, and you missed "into" (shh...I'm a bit OCD myself ;)

To the Op (original poster),
I believe you're asking us to Highlight the thread title of a topic that has been moved to it's "proper" location. You ask this because the original thread still exists in it's inproper location? Am I understanding you correctly?
If not, please elaborate.

To All, we appreciate member's suggestions. "We Are Family" :P

I like ice cream with sticky toffee pudding, but with treacle or syrup sponge.... custard is absolutely essential.

Haha, I had a day where every little thing annoyed me but today I,m back to not giving a monkeys. The threads such as 'drama and bullcrap' come up in bold, but the general threads relevant do not, that is what I meant. The view active posts thingy does the trick. Lilly, brum is good thanks, a great place for a scooter. Gn2, I agree custard is absolutely essential, posting from a location where birds custard originated.

I found that out many years ago doing a presentation in front of a group of senior food executives.

We were releasing a new range of donuts called "Sweet Hearted Donuts". Little did I realise that the artwork I presented them with read " Sweat Heated Donuts".

Luckily they saw the funny side. :D :D :D

Well, yes, Bristol UK. Born and bred in Filton. Big Rovers fan. Back when they played at Eastville I was construction manager on the stadium rebuild/extension. I remember the greyhound racing, one weekend, was going to be cancelled due to snow, so I spent all the prior day cleaning it off the track with the front bucket of a backhoe - races went ahead on schedule. :)

My brother used to be involved in the organization of the Balloon Fiesta and I used ( a lot!) a pub near the old Cameron Balloon factory - it was up in Kingsdown then.

License plate on my car is 'A LIMEY' and Union Jack flies proudly alongside the Stars and Stripes in my front pasture.

On most motorcycle forums it's good form to post so others can understand it. Proper spelling, grammar, and wearing brain buckets? Scooter folks ask a bloody lot...
