Suggestions

Jax,

I sent her a pm and suggested politely to remove her dob. I received a response and the thread was going to be edited, but I think you must have hit the review button before the member in question got back to her post.

I would have removed the post altogether if it was me.

I will hold my hands up to reporting that one. I was surprised that 20 people had looked at it before me and had not done anything.

Although she mentioned her own date of birth her mothers name was not too common so year of birth was mentioned for her also and even said who she thought she married and when.

Maybe one of those 20 before me helped her and found them on the ER register.....who knows?

Joy, I have emailed support so I hope they act on the email quickly.

Well I did email support but the email bounced back because of a virus. Have just completed a full scan of my computer and nothing showed up.

Frustrating to say the least.

If only they would enable hyperlinks, as suggested, one could link directly from one thread to another, sigh :-)
and sort out emoticons, then I would know what the less than sign and number three together means :-)

Sorry Joy, I missed your thread and didn't bother to go back through the suggestion board to see if it has been raised before. <3

You are right in this case, it is the first line that's the problem. I'll send an email to support and hopefully they can fix the problem.

I think it ludicrous that the personal information is still visible.


I posted something similar on 11 May, but yours here is worded better, in my opinion :-)


The first line is visible after a report

Sometimes, the first line may be the reason that the thread has been reported.

I believe that when a thread has been reported for review that the only part of the posting still visible should be the topic if anything should remain at all. I was just checking through the boards and their is a posting and the following appears.

Looking for my Biological Mother.
I was born on ..............................at the Royal Victoria.

then when you click on the thread the message appears that it has been requested for review. So this lady's DOB is still very visible even though you can't read all the thread.

What does everyone else think?
