  • Most things wash over me and I'm not normally annoyed enough to waste my time typing BUT the fact that I read "Sent from my iPhone using Grow Your Own Forum" about 50 times a day is really irritating. Doesn't help that the text is the same as that of the main post - can't it be a footer like our signatures? I'm not really interested that somebody has spent a lot of money on an apple product and it certainly wouldn't encourage me to buy one.......

    Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

    Which one are you and is it how you want to be?

      I agree, and further more it's discrimination, why dont my posts say "Sent from my pc and keyboard with my fingers finding the keys under the cat who likes to lie on it"

        Sorry, but don't think there is anything we can do about it, it's just there! Don't think it's anything to do with encouraging anyone to buy one, I don't have a laptop I'm afraid, use my iPad all the time.

          Sorry for chatting but not blaming you, you're just using an app. The control is with the developer who almost certainly advertising.

                          • Well I couldn't see anything on my phone so it wouldn't have annoyed me!

                            Phone has been a bit hit and miss lately, but busy so haven't got online when I'm home to find out what's happening.

                            Last week as I'm going out the door daughter asks to go to a party the next night with her friend.
                            I say I need the name of the parents of the party person, their address and phone number and then I'll make a decisiion. Daughter's friend asked her to come with her as she didn't know anyone but the new boyfriend at the party (oh and yes, he's 18, so there will be alcohol.) Then I find that my phone has no reception whatsoever. Thought it was the wind, knocked something out.
                            3 days later still no reception whatsoever, in the countryside, or in a major city. No way to contact anyone! Swapped carriers, but that will take 48 hours. Phoned from work to find that she's not going to party, so that's a relief. But WTH! How can a carrier just drop right out. No way to contact them by phone, by internet, by carrier pidgeon! So annoyed.

                            They are now trying to find out what happened. Too late! I so don't need my daughter stranded, trying to call for help and no connection at all! Why would I pay for a phone for my daughter unless I wanted to be sure she could get help if she needed it? So, so, so not happy Jan!

                                The user can change/remove the signature from their iPhone or iPad. You can do it people, it's in 'Settings' or sommat - just g**gle it FFS - You can do it!
