yes obviously a just should have been just a and I suppose the should have been your to be more clear and some should have been someone - I don't think that makes the post crap, particularly compared to the usual standards of grammar and spelling here! and when you get bored perhaps go back and re-read your posts on complex web sites, spam emails and login session issues and the feedback you have been receiving from your programmers and web host and if you have some friends or acquaintances with some real experience in this area get them to advise if my comments on competence and your need for knowledge are reasonable or do constitute egregiously abusive conduct

yes I am not very tolerant of people who talk crap - particularly if they have an Iron Fist or just wish they had one to deal with people they think are "assholes" (not a nice term and one I am sure is not condoned by the posting guidelines but I am quoting Michael here) just because they don't agree with them

and if your programmers are not competent enough to do the integration properly then blaming it on the complexity of database driven sites is a just cop-out as are some of the other comments on login session timeouts etc - you perhaps need some more knowledgeable between you and your programmers and host

and I am sure if Gaybutton wanted such an explanation he could just ask the phpboard programmers who developed the software that runs his database driven website

don't log out? make sure you have cookies (and maybe javascript) enabled for the new site name? on first visit I went to the site (not forum) home page and logged in then went to the forum page and bookmarked that page and have not needed to login again when returning to the forum page

click on the dot next to the topic title rather than the title itself - if you hover the cursor over the dot it says "Go to first unread post"

and the signs at the entrance to Soi Twilight are obviously as fake as the TITS in the the soi ! bkkguy

I freely admit I am an old curmudgeon and I don't use social media, and I like to go to places because I like the food, the service, the ambiance and feel comfortable in the typical crowd when I consider Sphinx was at its best none of the customers went there mainly to take pictures of their food or themselves and post them on Instagram and facebook - they went there because they liked Ray or even Jerry, or because they knew a lot of people that went there regularly or got on well with the staff while the Sphinx name and original decor may have been a little twee the Fuck & Cock or whatever they are called now, and the "iconic" motorcycle on the wall and the Instagram/facebook crowd there to be seen consuming the new menu items and fancy cocktails try my patience - and my enjoyment of a meal there I think there are - for me - many better options in Bangkok but I haven't been there for quite a while and perhaps the place and the typical customer have changed again, or as I said "your mileage may vary" bkkguy

it depends on what you liked about Sphinx originally - I seriously lost interest after the first few management (and subsequent customer) changes and once the social media boffins and their followers who considered F & C a "better" Internet meme took over I just gave up altogether - your mileage may vary bkkguy

from the article "Hours before his death Luke posted a Facebook photo of himself with two pals in a Bangkok bar. He wrote: “Keeeeeemon. Boys on tour.” so we have checked the facebook page for exactly which bar he and his friends visited and exactly what "boys on tour" refers to, or are we to just get distressed every time the British gutter press - and this is The Sun after all - report something within a limited distance of a gay venue? I'm sorry, but as much as I may have sympathy for the victim and his family and friends, I am not sure exactly how much I should be getting my knickers in a twist because of this "news" bkkguy

in your original post the "hotspot" was the wi-fi provided by the apartment? still? the "hotspot" I am suggesting you try is your mobile phone or a "pocket wi-fi" device or is this a problem as well? any iSomething store around town or the new Apple store at ICON Siam should have a "suitably priced" (suitably being a relative (higher) term) dongle, or AIS or true - or I would have assumed dtac - should have a "suitably priced" (suitably being a relative (lower) term) pocket wi-fi device, or maybe the telcos now assume everyone now does everything on their phone and your MacBook should be confined to an office or a museum? admittedly it is 15 years or more since I last had a use a pocket wi-fi device in Thailand (but AIS still has then advertised for about 1,200 BHT + SIM), but less than a year since I added an additional one month only data package to my AIS package to use my phone as a hotspot for my notebook when I was in Pattaya for the weekend and the apartment wi-fi was down - most modern phones (even iPhones) and most data packages support the phone as a hotspot bkkguy

personally I would recommend you start dining on the main course - if you have any taste you won't get very far so take the leftovers and the salad home and give to your neighbors/boyfriend to feed to their pigs. That way you get two merit points - you get to loose some weight and the pigs get nicely fattened up for market bkkguy

does your mobile phone have a hotspot option? is your 4G reception in the apartment better than your wi-fi reception? does your mobile phone plan include lots of cheap data and allow use of your phone as a hotspot? if you answer yes to all questions your problem is solved at no extra cost and no need to get to a shopping center if your phone and/or data plan does not support hotspot but your 4G reception is OK you could always buy a cheap "pocket wi-fi" device (to provide wi-fi to both your MacBook and phone) or just a 4G dongle for the MacBook, and you will need to get a separate SIM and data allowance for the new hardware - most of the local telcos and phone stores should have these available bkkguy

just goes to show the UK should be moving closer to the European ideal rather than turning its back on the EU the Conférence générale des poids et mesures has just introduced a new standard for the kilo to address instability problems which should see it stable for centuries - I'm sure if they where asked nicely they could do something similar for the pound bkkguy
