    First let’s get the negative part out of the way, I really dislike Snapchat always have, it’s the only social media platform I really just don’t get on with. It’s probably got something to do with the UI.

    Something I really like about social media platforms is the random encounters and conversations, it’s basically the same thing I like about real life.

    I used to really like the old Instagram interface from a couple of years ago before IGTV and the marketplace rubbish, it was simplistic and entertaining.

    I’m personally not a fan of the political posts it always seems to bring the worst out in people and swamp websites especially recently,

    I think the solution could be to have comments turned off on political links and stop people posting political topics without a link attached, that way we still see the links content if we want to read it but don’t have a debate on every single topic posted.

    If the comments were turned off on political links we could then have a weekly scheduled political topic Where people can discuss political topics they have seen posted the previous week,

    Because people would have to wait until the weekly topic it would give them time to think about what they wanted to say and would stop them from commenting out of anger, it could result in a more civil intellectual scheduled political debate

    Spent my spare time going through my game library and playing games I downloaded but hadn’t played yet, managed to finish the campaigns on 2 call of duty games

    Also uninstalled games I didn’t really like, managed to free up a couple of hundred gigabytes on my internal hard drive.

    Let’s face it Sony never really supported the vita, I remember getting one like a year after launch and it was already basically dead with very little games and really overpriced accessories, the original PSP was amazing thought, the vita left a sour taste in my mouth in regards to Sony.

    Nintendo have put them to shame with the switch, it’s really the only portable console now.

    This is so upsetting and shocking, remember seeing him in a Netflix film a couple of years ago and thinking how talented he was.

    Not sure if they are classed as an LGBT band but years & years have some great songs and they have a love all theme about them.

    Yes I get the little favicons, but they are sometimes nearly invisible if they clash with the theme I’m using

    So currently as far as I know the only way to tell the difference between a link or text topic is by the username section if it’s a name it’s a text and if it has a website name/URL it’s a link,

    When I’m slowly browsing it isn’t too hard to distinguish them but sometimes if I’m flicking past quick “as I often do” it can be nearly impossible to tell them apart without stopping and looking an each individual topic, could we not make them a different colour or maybe add the word link somewhere just so it’s easier on the eyes?.

    So I’m just sitting here wondering why they returned so soon, 2 months Doesn’t seem like a very long time considering the money and preparation involved.

    I did a quick search to try and find the answer without any luck, so wondering if anyone on here can shed some light on the reason.

    I have it on new (all time) as the site has a slow steady stream of topics I find having those settings I don’t see the same topics multiple times,

    When the site gets bigger I might Adjust them to suit but for the moment it works quite well, I also regularly check the other feeds just in case I miss something.

    It’s a metal storage building, it’s owned by my family and different people have used it over the years but around 2014 it stopped being used,

    I plan to keep using it for storage but put things in it I use somewhat regular,

    I found some old newspapers that I found quite interesting they were from 2014 so I used that as as an estimate to when it stopped being used, I also found quite a few tools and miscellaneous things.

    It took up most of the week and Saturday but had a day off today and I’m going to finish it hopefully next week.

    Ahh ok so not every user can do it, the reason I asked is because I noticed my previous posts tittle was changed by another user and I was a bit confused.

    So recently I’ve started getting into the back end of games and looking at the people behind the scenes and it’s got me to research different developers and their history and the games they have produced, so I’m wondering what are your favourite game developers and why?
