Well done Yahoo. You have just buggered up something which was not broke. Where do you recruit your idiots from? I too will sadly be avoiding this site until common sense prevails again.

You should have stayed gone. If anything is ruining this forum, it's stuck-up judgmental pieces of trash like you who post on people's questions just to insult and judge like you're so above everyone else. That speaks volumes about what kind person you are, pal. What fuϲking nerve! Stick to building houses, old timer. Because when it comes to having an opened mind for other people as someone on a Q&A forum should have, you got your head way too far up your aѕs to be of any decent use here.

Okay, now I get you. I saw some of your answers last couple days and
you are hurting, so slack is cut here, but it cost nothing to be nice, please
remember that.
I know how you feel and have some advice, which you can pitch, no matter.
That is: Don't leave completely. Have some presence here, but in the mean-
time, find another forum which fits your MO, who you are, but come back here,
as it appears many folks appreciate you. I think you owe it to the folks whose
lives you have impacted. Too, you have been impacted by others as well.
What I can't stand is the impersonal new format. Is very annoying and cheap.

its always been that way since I have been here and I do stay away from certain UK questions since I have no idea what a combo-boiler is or the building regulations across the pond but sometimes I can give general advice
70% sure we just call 'noggins' blocking but I really don't know

I was stationed in Scotland for 3 years and have some idea. I can understand the frustration though. I try to do the best I can with questions from everywhere.

yes a nogging sometimes is called blocking ..sometimes strutting ..i have built both in the states and canada ....its only in the last two weeks we have been drowned with usa questions ...a combi boiler is a boiler that heats the water direct from mains ..turn on tap ..you get hot water ...the heating side is different ..its pressurised ...lose pressure ..no heating

Bye.
I answer questions from all English speaking countries, not just US. Sometimes I have useful input for UK and India, sometimes I learn something from those places too. If that's more pressure than you can handle, you should leave.
