Why do members want to highjack topics. It is irritating when you are following a topic only for some members to go “Off Topic” and before you know it you are following a completely different thread. More frustrating when the member admits to going of topic. If you feel that what you have something to say ,please create another topic.

It's an old chestnut, Farmhouse. Sometimes it matters, sometimes not. 

Usually the nitty gritty of the topic is covered before it goes OT but not always. 

You can try the report button. Sometimes it gets a result, sometimes not.Wink

spk, How insulting to the OP. Or was it just Banter???

Duh.........

Write your comments here...

 

it was my way of using humour to outline that it is impossible to stop conversations moving along naturally it is how conversations are.

I meant no offence but I do think it is in many ways a pointless post which was bound to become a post full of tongue in cheek replies with or without my input. If we were to stay totally on topic on every post how boring  would it be and how many interesting debates would be missed.

anyway my apologies if I caused offence.

carry on

Friendly banter it might have been but, without any indication of that (i.e. no smiley icon), this is exactly what can cause annoyance to some posters and can be seen as disrespectful and, of course, hijacking of a thread.

totally agree....have 'emoticons' become the new language of the forum?
