This is quite irritating…when welcoming a glut of new members you can’t say the same welcoming phrase more than a couple of times, before you get a message preventing you posting it. Ok, you can skightly change the phrasing, but that may come across as favouring one new member over another!

That’s why I include the new user’s name. 
It seems to be different enough not to trigger the warning.
I did that, still got the message!
That’s interesting. I’ve not had the message, and I say ‘hello and welcome @username’ every time?
On a related note, I have noticed it not let me have a topic title that’s been used before. So all the new users trying to call theirs ‘hi everyone’ etc may be hitting a block.
One for @Lovehoney_Brenna perhaps. 
@Ian_Chimp i was using my phone and predictive text for quickness. Not sure if that’s why.
That’s exactly how I do it. 
I’m having the same, I’ve been mixing up my smiley emojis and that seems to be enough of a difference to stop it

Can see why it’s irritating @WillC but I guess it’s about encouraging original content.
When welcoming new members perhaps add something specific based on what they’ve written. Might even encourage more of a conversation.

What does the finger icon on a notification mean?
@Ian_Chimp I just got a ping from you taking me to emoji charades, but I have no idea what the notification is for. Until I hear otherwise I’ll assume it means “this topic is excellent” 
I invited you to the topic. I’ve had three goes in a row and it won’t let me put another in until someone else has a go…
And yes, it pretty much does mean that your topic is excellent. (and I want to play in it more )

Aah, I see! thanks 
I’m trying to think of another one now but lacking in inspiration - I’ll see if I can squeeze a few out if my brain without cheating and looking on Google!
If you’re really stuck you can just write ‘wibblebeef’, and then that’s enough for me to reply again.
Though I haven’t got one right now, I’m just bumping a few game topics that people may have forgotten about (including me )

I’ve been trying for a while to find a suitable jelly or other emoji to create a wibblebeef but sadly all I’ve come up with is
Though with four legs perhaps he’s sturdy enough not to wobble while balancing, plus it looks more like the cow has wandered into a match and it about to take a ball to the face.

Yeh, sorry Mr Chimp just the proper html coding for basic apostrophe’s, symbols and links.
Cute emoji though. Don’t think I’ve ever used that one!

Those bloated email links can be trimmed back (and the massive ‘recently viewed’ ones too).

But you can also embed a link too. You can find out more here:
I’ve replied here so as not to derail that topic any further.
There’s also the ‘something else’ option, and you can go into a bit more detail in there. It’s not massive, but it starts a private message topic between you and Brenna too. So she can reply, and you can have a conversation about anything you’re concerned about.

Thank you. I’ll check it out. No one wants to pick on anyone but that whole ‘phwar’ culture really shouldn’t be here…
Where is the ‘something else’ thing to click on?
