    A peculiar thing

    When I returned to the forum on my iPad, multiple images of what looked like WW1 veterans appeared on the page. There seems to be no way to remove them permanently. Yet when I logged in on my phone, everything was normal.

    Any suggestions?

    No, but when I popped into the garden centre today,they were selling WW 1 brand poppy seeds.


    I dont think they were for charity.
    It bothered me.
    I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

    I am not a number, I am a free man.

        Well, actually there is a charitable side.



        But it still bothers me.
        Time to figure out how to stop this stuff happening.

        Sorry, gone off topic.

          Seems a worthy enough cause, but I would have expected 'World War One Poppy Seeds' to have been at least harvested in Flanders.

            Please excuse me for interrupting this nostalgia, but I was asking a serious question about the aappearance of the forum page on my iPad and I wondered whether anyone had experienced the same problem. All suggestions gratefully received.

              (And even my nostalgia doesn't go back to 1914!)

                I haven't had anything like that on my iPad, and to make up for going off topic, i tried googling such a problem, to no avail.

                Probably government propaganda.

                  I'll just have to hope it rights itself. Logging off/on didn't work.

                    I have an apple ipad and I've not had any problems. Most odd. Hope it gets resolved soon.

                      Did everyone get shot at the end?

                          You mean the forum page itself was decorated with WW1 veterans? Where were they?
                          It isn't given us to know those rare moments when people are wide open and the lightest touch can wither or heal. A moment too late and we can never reach them any more in this world.
