Message from PETER howarth Customer 25/02/2015 09:17 PM
Hi i emailed you on the 22 feb 15 as i could not get code to work for 100 prints the answer i got i followed although it did not cover the whole question i asked re the 20 free plus 100 .
so after spending a couple of hours on the 22 i have just spent another 2 hours because .

I got a email saying the code was extended but the same problem is exhisting and it is at your end as it says the same thing no matter what i put in.
i have 20 free so i put in 120 no luck so i put 100 in no luck
i go on live chat

PETER howarth: 100BUND215
Jay: I see that you've 20 free prints in your account, so please place the order for 120 prints and give a try to place the order with the code
PETER howarth: i did that after speaking with you on the 22nd and still would not accept code so why cannot i use code with the 100 i have and leave the 20 in hand
Jay: I'm sorry after using the 20 free prints then you can use other promotions
PETER howarth: so i cannot have the 100 unless i use the 20 free prints
Jay: Yes,
PETER howarth: but it will not let me put in 120
PETER howarth: where are you
Jay: Please go to your home page and give a try to add more 20 images to your cart
PETER howarth: i can add 20 but i do not want 20 i want to use the code and it will not work on 20
Jay: I'm sorry if you more 20 images then you can use the code
PETER howarth: it will not let me do 100 i have tried today and on the 22nd that is what i want to do 100

More blue bits - now a 2 in band at the bottom. If more keeps being added I won't be able to see the pages too clearly any more. I really hope it does'nt get any worse otherwise I'll just give up.

Indeed! Ads everywhere

[Bigmallly]

Which bright spark thinks it's ok to put adverts on a Forum when it's obvious "WE DON'T WANT THEM"...........

[Lumpy]

I don't even want a rain water thingy! At least a 'hide' option has appeared to get rid of the bottom bit. However, hide implies that it will, like Arnie in the film 'be back'

[Lumpy]

I knew it... those sneaky thingmebobs - each time you back up or change page the bottom ad reappears.

Would rather ads than have to pay to use the forum

[Jay22]

That ruddy blue rain water ad at the bottom of the page...every time I hit 'hide' it opens up the page relating to the ad!! WE DONT WANT IT THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

[Bigmallly]

I would rather use another forum that you neither pay for or has annoying ads/bars............there are plenty out there.

[Bohobumble]

That ruddy blue rain wet rad at the bottom of the page...every time I hit 'hide' it opens up the page relating to the ad!! WE DONT WANT IT THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

If I was the marketing bod at that water butt company I'd be thinking this was a bit of an advertising fail!

Alison, I imagine most folk would rather use another site with a little advertising than pay for a forum - does anyone pay to use a gardening forum?

A little bit of advertising is acceptable, to see one line of forum on a computer screen behind the ads is taking things too far and will lose members. I say this because I hope the vibrant community I stumbled across 3 months ago is still around and a balance can be found.

There are plenty of other forums out there, I see it as a positive that folks are sharing their displeasure in the hope that something can be done rather than just wandering off to another site because they, and their views are not valued.

After finding out that my spuds will (ha ha!) be ready in 12 weeks after planting it means that unless I completely re-design my plan I am going to have a very large, bald patch on Lu Lu.
I knew it was too good to be true when I thought I had cracked it.
Anyhow whats wrong with supermarket veg? At this rate that will be what we eat as of Aug.
