@Michael118 there is an option in the store.

@soezetoc The (only) advertising partner I use doesn't use pop ups. Previously we've found that these have been injected out side of VillaTalk. That you've had this before with another site which doesn't use popups makes me think the problem isn't the web sites. If you'd like to diagnose, please start by following the instructions at the top of the site issues forum. Also please define what you mean by popups, preferably with a screenshot. I'll split this into a different thread as it's not the issue that the OP posted about.

Your ratings and reactions please. Keep it respectful even if you know everyone else is wrong. The players names will be added to the poll when a mod gets chance.

Villa v Nottm Forest Please do not mention streams in this thread. Please note that there is no distinction between legal or illegal, video or audio. If you aren't sure, it doesn't go in this thread. You will receive warning points if you ignore this.

They'll say they will and then drag their heels until everyone gets bored of asking

Take it to the religion thread. Oh wait....

I'd like know how much it costs to repair the connector inside the phone when the very different stresses break it. (I know that it will be the user's fault rather than a design flaw.)

No-one said they weren't.

And perhaps this is the end of his three months notice.

I've made quite a few changes to ads recently. I'm surprised this is the first you've noticed

Yes, there is now a block of ads in the middle of the list of topics. Ads are placed where the advertisers pay for them to be placed. In your opinion they might be intrusive, but they have no audio autoplay, they don't do screen takeovers or pop-unders. They just sit between the topics. This is caused by people using adblock. The site is busier than ever and yet the number of ad impressions is back to 2012 levels. I've moved to a single ad partner so that we might actually be able to get bad adverts fixed. They don't pay as much as the several networks I used previously. Revenue is down and costs are up. What do you want me to do? I don't believe you'll notice them in a week, but if you do then I'm happy to re-assess at that point.

Source? Watch for the post hoc justifications from people. You'll meet so many people who always thought the jack was too big or used too much space inside the device or whatever "Truth" their marketing department comes out with

And watch out for vitamin C. That's an acid with pH 2.4. Far more acidic than any water. But you'll die without it. Please don't get dietary advice from gyms. Any clown can set themselves up as a nutritionist. Find a qualified clinical dietitian online.

Did this advice come from someone with an actual medical qualification? And not from Hollywood Upstairs Medical College You can also drink too much water which means you'll start getting deficiencies of various salts as you are flushing them out. About 2 litres including what comes from food is probably about right. More if you are more active. The eight glasses a day comes from (1960's?) US government advice which included water from food, not actually eight glasses of water.

@Grasshopper

Did you call him "Dad"? Otherwise they probably weren't.

It depends what you mean by "protected". If you are spending over £100, always use a credit card and you're protected by that. if you buy direct from Amazon then your contract is with Amazon no matter how much they might try and wriggle out of it. If it's sold in the EU then you are protected by the EU regs. I don't know about shops through Amazon, but it'll be on their website. However these are budget phones. If they stop working chuck them in the recycling and buy another.

Apart from the weight, everything is fine and obviously the weight is offset by the immense battery life. I've just read that review and they acknowledge throughout that this is a budget phone, and a good budget phone but then seem to grade it by comparing it to top end phones. Strange way to rank things. 3.5/5 where 5 is a flagship shows how good this budget phone is. 70% of the phone for 25% of the price. Don't buy it if you're a mobile gamer. Also, mine wasn't grey market, it was bought from Amazon.

If anyone else does the same, it is possible to re-enable it yourself, but I don't know how. If you get stuck use the "contact us" link at the bottom of every page.

@Eastie I fixed it for you. I couldn't reply to your "contact us" request as you've disabled email.

Welcome

If you mean other intelligent life then yes, I think it is likely.there is other intelligent life. The idea of being able to communicate with that life in any meaningful way is unlikely though. It's not just the distance. We are almost identical to the other great apes and we can't talk to them beyond a few hand signals.

There are about 200 billion galaxies averaging about 200 billion stars each. We don't know enough to estimate numbers of planets yet. Our universe is a spacetime. It has both time and boundaries. There isn't an end in the same way that if you walk north eventually you get to a place that you can't go any further north. The boundaries are hard to comprehend because we are still plains dwelling apes and struggle to put the boundaries into a context related to the next meal and who to shag. I think the anal probing is only a problem without consent.

People who describe me as a 'foodie'.

No, buy a Chinese phone you've never heard of for a quarter of the price.
