Tuesday/June 28...Hello all..

I was wondering about you, so your knee is doing good? that's amazing, hope it continues to go good for you. Oh and try a vitamin e lotion or Manuka Honey to reduce your scar. Manuka honey really reduced my scar down to an eraser point size it was over a 1 1/2 inch for one scar the other two scars are gone...I realize mine was less evasive surgery, but manuka honey works, it just works, gold bond cream also helps...
Way to go and keep us posted!

That's strange but sometimes things in this cyberworld does what it wants. Not sure how you got unblocked but there's times with the set-up in the forum of the mod controls that members actually get thrown out with the spammers or by a mods accidentally hitting the ban icon on our screen. Let me expand here so if this happens again you can get back in quicker. On the screen in HW everyone sees the pencil and X on your post and the exclamation point,thumbs down and report to admin icon in the corner. If your a mod your screen shows those icons including the delete X and edit pencil on everyones posts as well as a person icon and a plug icon. The person icons for banning username and the plugs for banning the users IP address. For whatever reason the outdated forum server asks when we click delete post if we're sure,it does not ask if we click the ban username icon or ban IP icon if we're sure it just bans you and we immediately get a small red message stating username or IP has been banned and that blinks up on our screen about two seconds and then it goes back to the thread. If for whatever reason those icons are clicked on by accident scrolling and this especially true when we are working from a tablet or phone we may never know who just got banned or even if anyone did if we miss that two seconds of alert that someone did. I have fumbled my phone,you know when you drop it and attempt to catch it? And banned members. I have laid my tablet down and accidentally hit the icon and banned members and in banning multiple spammers on a page got a member in the mix,one of the reasons we ask you to not reply to spam and not post on a page that's filled with spam but to give us time to get it taken down.

If we realize we banned a member by accident we alert Peter and he undoes it if we know who it's easy,he is by the way the only person who can undo a mods ban on username,if your IP gets banned we can undo that from the forum. Now if we don't know who we banned he has to search through every username and IP numbers banned trying to figure out whose a member and shouldn't be banned and whose a spammer and was done intentionally. He's not looking at just one mod,one forum because the outdated forum doesn't work that way,it's all forums and mods bans for the day or week. Even if we know who we banned its a huge job searching a database as huge as HW and all its members ever. If he's not entering your username exactly as it's done when you created it then he can't find it. Every letter and character must be exact in the search so make sure when you e-mail him that you give it to him exact.

He's tried to find a better way to set-up our icons and to have the safety box that says are you sure you want to do this on the ban but it's just not possible with this server. I suggest everyone get at least two mods email address and keep them off the forum because if your locked out you cannot see them and have no way to contact us to let us know and Peter gets a truckload of e-mail daily and doesn't always get through it as quickly as he does mods email and notification so getting to one of us is going to result in him being notified sooner so the search for issues can start sooner.

Sorry for the inconvenience but glad to see you back and certainly glad to see your knee behaving and the surgical procedure working for you.

am glad you got a response!!! tongue in cheek.
