My left hand is normally hovering over the Ctrl and the C V X and Z keys

Rocket Spud · #**1472** 14th July 2017, 19:32

Yeah, i cut and pasted and godknowswhatelse in the meantime, the only way that i could have got it back was to do what i did - it was sat there in the text box still, lucky i didn't close the window really.

If someone is on your chat list on FB, does that mean you're on theirs too? This person is not a FB friend.

newbs16 · #**1474** 14th July 2017, 20:01

I think it depends if you have chatted before on Facebook.

A Whimsical Stranger · #**1475** 14th July 2017, 20:10

We have.

Spectrelight · #**1476** 14th July 2017, 20:17

I have someone who I deleted and never chatted with on mine. I also had somebody who I went a date with sometime last year adding me as a friend for some reason

A Whimsical Stranger · #**1477** 15th July 2017, 00:24

Thanks for the answers.

If you want them off your list, click their name like you're going to chat with them, then click the little cog and choose 'Turn off chat for [this asshole]' and they're gone. You'll also be gone from their list.

A Whimsical Stranger · #**1479** 15th July 2017, 00:43

^ Thank you, but I can't see a cog!

I'm on my phone btw, he only ever shows up on Messenger on my phone. And he isn't in my phone's contact list either, so that's not it.

Lettie Hempstock just diseapeared from my chat list ? How do I get her back?

Wait, maybe I should try it when he's online. I deleted him from Messenger so he isn't even a contact on there but FB keep pressuring me to talk to him whenever he's online for some reason. Dicks.

David K · #**1483** 15th July 2017, 00:52

^ Ah, I meant Facebook.com. Maybe if you open a chatbox with them on the website you can turn them off there and it'll carry over to Messenger.

You could just block 'em on Messenger! (Start a chat and then tap their name at the top, scroll down and block)

In whatapp, when I go to contact I get a default list of numbers in my contacts who are also on whatsapp. Does that mean I will now be showing up as a suggestion to contact in their app and indeed contacts ?

Is there a way to turn this off ?

Indigo_ · #**1485** 16th July 2017, 19:54

^ You probably will yes, and I don't know if you can turn that off.

flumpsy · #**1486** 16th July 2017, 19:56

Oops, oh well

fingers crossed somebody will have a way and soon.

Is my username visible or just my phone number and the fact I am absolutely dying to hear from all these ***** ?

newbs16 · #**1487** 16th July 2017, 20:00

If they have your number and you're in their contacts. You will show up on the what's app list.

flumpsy · #**1488** 16th July 2017, 20:05

Ok, time to leave whatsapp and use it with one of my other numbers instead, I hope I can still use the same handset on a different phone number even when I switch the sim back.

newbs16 · #**1489** 16th July 2017, 20:07

^ How come?

flumpsy · #**1490** 16th July 2017, 20:13

^ I want less options for these people to get hold of me not more, I dont want to be brought forward into the front of their minds.

Mo34 · #**1491** 16th July 2017, 20:17

^
Yeah that happened to me, one of my old friends contacted me when she joined whatsapp, my number was still on her phone and so I popped up on her contacts list and was brought to her attention I guess. We hadn't been in touch for about 3 and 1/2 yrs.

Are you happy that you're back in touch?

Mo34 · #**1493** 16th July 2017, 20:23

^In this case yeah. We have messaged back and forth for a while, tho less and less recently.
I'm fortunate that anyone I wouldn't want to get in touch with me probably no longer has my number.

flumpsy · #**1494** 16th July 2017, 21:45

In case anybody wants to know how you can sign up for whatsapp without connecting it to your actual phone number :-

Sign up for free for textnow (download the app), then select within whatapp to ring you with the code, use the textnow number.
It comes through via the txtnow app and just enter that code into whatsapp. Then send this number to people you want to chat with or connect to them form your contacts.

I've been living with my gf for a few years, but on the new starter form for my new job it asks for my marital status, the only available options are 'Single', 'Married', and 'Civil Partnership'.

I'm definitely not single.
We're definitely not married.
My gf definitely has a vagina, so it's not a civil partnership.

Which box do I tick?

flumpsy · #**1496** 17th July 2017, 15:50

^ This doesn't sound like a standard HMRC form but out of those it would be single. For tax purposes you are single I think.

Whats the exact name of the form or is it one specific to the firm you are going to work for ?

If they ask for proof of your third point then suspect foul play !

Ajax Amsterdam · #**1497** 17th July 2017, 16:18

^^
Out of those options I'd put single.
I've been with my partner 13 years, and unless the options include 'in a relationship' I still put single, because we are not married and don't live together officially.

Jam · #**1498** 17th July 2017, 16:19

^/^^
It's a form given to me by HR for my new job called 'New Starter Form', so it's one specific to the firm.
But I think you're right about having to tick 'Single'. I just won't tell my gf about this.

flumpsy · #**1499** 17th July 2017, 16:22

^ or leave this form laying around if you ever start to have doubts ?

That must just be for their records, the HMRC "new starter form" doesn't ask this information.

You're single, because you're not married.
