Hi AndyC, quite right too, it's just not worth it....

Welcome to the forums!

maccoinnich · May 17th, 2008, 01:49 PM

Oh, just do your best to bite your tongue and ignore it. That's what I try to do. Can't we just all get along and talk about big shiny buildings? (And a warm welcome, of course.)

AlMacRob · June 6th, 2008, 01:05 PM

Hello.
I've browsed these pages for a while now and thought it about time to introduce myself.
I'm not from Glasgow myself (I was born in Norfolk) but my Mum was born and raised in the tenements on Govan Road and I've always had a fondness of the city and its people. I've never stopped in Glasgow only been through it on the M8 and I've always been impressed by the architecture and the citys skyline and it's high flats. I'd love to come and visit the city and spend some time there and visit the places where my Mum grew up and get some photos before too many of the tower blocks are demolished.
All the best
Al.

Welcome Al

AshAshAsh · June 6th, 2008, 11:05 PM

I really should have said 'hello' in here before I posted 13 times. I hope you don't think me rude, I just forgot, so belatedly - "hello".

I've read the forums here for a little while and I deceided to register so I could share my strongly held and entirely uninformed views with everyone.

I don't work in planning or architecture, but it is something that I am interested in and SSC seems to be a lot quicker with news about developments in Glasgow and elsewhere than the mainstream media so this would seem to be the place to be.

Righty, what you need to do is register with an image hosting site like www.photobucket.com and create an account.

This website allows you to upload the photographs you have taken from your computer to the internet, and keeps them there like an online photoalbum.

Once you have registered, upoload the photos you want to show on this site, and wait for them to become part of your online album (should take a minute or two at most). Then, to actually display them on this forum, you need to use a line of code that photobucket provides for you - it will look something like this:

[img] *name of photo* [/img]

and can be found under the thumbnail of the photo itself.

Copy this line of code and paste it into your reply to the thread you are looking at, and the picture should then appear when you hit the reply button and the thread loads up with your actual reply.

Hope that helps, pm me if you can't get it to work

djmaxliving · June 24th, 2008, 01:29 AM

how do you close a thread can you ? .

legslikeaspider · June 24th, 2008, 01:25 PM

regular mortals can't close threads. you need to invite a moderator to take a look at it and, in their wisdom, they will decide whether or not to close the thread. You'll find a list of the UK forum mods at the bottom of the main UK and Ireland page. Send one of them (b4mmy seems to pay closest attention to the Glasgow forum) a private message and he'll come along as soon as he can.

Chief · June 24th, 2008, 01:47 PM

Nope - only moderators can close/delete a thread a thread. Don't worry about it - just leave it and so long as no one else posts in it it will soon drop down the forum list and vanish from peoples' memories.
