I've got email notifications turned off Mick.
Otherwise all the popping & squeaking my phone does, really gets on my tits.
I just look for the orange spots over the bell symbol & see if it's someone commenting, rating or asking a question.
Then every so often I hit "What's new" to see fresh threads.
Having said all of that, we are currently having issues with the forum. Whereby folk keep being randomly locked out. And certain functions like photo uploads don't work for everyone.
The gaffer is on the case to fix it. But it's been ongoing for about a week now mate.
If any odd stuff like that happens to you. Please don't assume we've done a TTF on you. Not yet anyway!
