ok, to stir the things up a little... maybe it was Postgrad Forum team playing with our heads by creating that thread (the one that got removed)

Thanks for the brainstorming session DanB. I will now look for a programmer who could write me a piece of code for the page to freeze everything on users' computer until some money is donated.

OK DanB. I won't put a Sound on/off button, and play the annoying jingle constantly on the page. And the only way to turn the horrible jingle off could be to click the "donate" button.

Hi all. As some of you would remember, I am organising a public event as part of my PhD. The project now has become bigger than I planned and I need to raise some money to cover expenses. Some of the funding applications I submitted failed and I am only partially funded for this project. I thought asking for donations (to people I know) would be a reasonable thing to do. But I can't decide how to write the copy for the donations page on the website. I don't want it to sound very needy. Can you suggest a few phrases? // Also, do you think it would be appropriate to send the link to supervisors, university workers etc?

No, I've seen a very nice silk one on the shop window last time I was in Istanbul but it was very expensive. I've once seen a Copoeira dancer/fighter do belly-dance (a weird combination). That was strangely beautiful.

H, now we need an embarrassed smiley. Yeah, I can belly dance, not like a professional but not too bad either. How about you?

I think there are 2 different buttons sending replies. One is a long button that reads "Post a Reply on Postgrad Forum" and the other is short one just reads "Post a Reply". It looks like they are getting mixed up because it corrects itself and displays the longer button after a while. When the proportions and link of the short one gets assigned to the long one, things get confusing.

hmmm.. I've just noticed that it happens on threads with messages too, and it doesn't happen all the time. I wonder what's causing this... Could it be browser-specific problem? I am using IE 7.

Hi team. You might be already aware of this, but when there are no replies on a thread, the button "button_postreply.gif" that appears under the message gets set to wrong proportions, and when clicked it links to the http://www.findaphd.com/students/checklogin.asp?messtype=m&thread=4773&cat=4 page.

Have you tried UKGrad website at http://www.grad.ac.uk ? I remember seeing statistics, they might have reports too.

SixKitten, I noticed your absence (and great to see you on the forum again). But I have to be honest with you, at some point I thought that "SixKitten" could be the sub-persona that DanB created on the forum, as you disappeared at the same time (and we know why DanB wasn't around). But it is also strange that you came back at the same time

It's a slang name of the giant fish that the fishermen catch.

I might join Dreamsphere or celebrate privately in my home. And can I ask a question (I'll be called daft by BB lovers but) did it run for even longer this year?
