Tracey Bennett Posted October 16, 2013 Report Share Posted October 16, 2013 I suspect many of you will have seen this anyway but this facebook photo group seems to have kicked into life again recently. Some of our history buffs may be able to learn something or teach something https://www.facebook.com/groups/warringtonphoto/?hc_location=strea 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

demelzadoe Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 Algy, if you do go for a look, you might think you are seeing things, there are a few photos posted with the added note:- 'photo provided by Algy, with thanks' That would be me. Just thought I'd better own up now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
algy Posted October 18, 2013 Report Share Posted October 18, 2013 Just between you and me Demel' I did go and have a look and there are photos on there that I had not seen before and thanks for crediting me although I have always maintained that the photos that I placed on the net do not belong to me, I have amassed them over the years (quite a number from the internet) with the intention of displaying them for everyone to enjoy and download if they so wish.

Evil Sid Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 So it is you who is cluttering up my facebook page with photo's of warrington. Just kidding it actually makes a change from requests to play candy crush and strangely enough there are some that i have not seen before.

Sid i think I have let myself in for a load of work, I'm amazed that so many people in Warrington were not aware of them, I thought that with them being on WW most folk would have seen them, it just goes to show how small our little community is!.

Bill Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 The photos that have been put on here have been excellent but only viewable to a small group, which I think is a bit of a shame when they can be enjoyed by so many more on FB. And with so many people contributing, there are usually plenty of others with more detailed knowledge or perhaps a family history that can add to the subject. I think Facebook and WWW are two very different communities each with their own appeal and it’s good to see people accepting this as a way to maybe move this forum forward.

algy Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 Agreed Bill. I don't know much about facebook perhaps you can help me, I can't post a comment on the 'Warrington Photos Warrington Born' facebook page, any suggestions please.

Bill Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 That's strange, there's no secret way, you normally just type into the comment box and press enter! I'm certainly the biggest duffer on FB and even after being there so long, I still cant work out how to do things. I'll have a play and see if there's anything you may be missing. Bill Whenever you or anyone else has put something on there, there's a little text box after the last comment and thats where you put your comments. Or am I misunderstanding what your asking? Another thing I noticed is that when I mouse over most others, there's a friend button but not on yours so maybe you've set your profile to be more private and that could be causing the issue ????

middlec Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 Hi Algy. You have to join a Facebook group to contribute or comment but I'm sure you have done that already. If any further problems in-box (or email) the administrator. He should be able to advise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 Fantastic facebook link Tracey and there's some really interesting stuff on there You've certainly been a busy bee on there Algy. Hey don't forget the History and Photo section on here though as they are my favourite place to be on here and is what keeps me going Now I don't really like facebook and only ever occasionally use it to keep in touch with close family/friends abroad etc and I get bored stiff of all the other things that constantly appear on my time-line 'thingy' and I have no idea why I get them... and I don't really know how to use it properly either.... but I do like that facebook page and I have some pics that I'd like to upload too sometime if I can find them. .....so question....If I decide to join the FB photo group will all the people in that group then be able to see my timeline and all my family photo's and chats with my friends/family etc ?

Ta Dizz, theres no way I would desert you tuppence, it's our Trace that put me up to it, but you know how long it takes to display the photos. There is no way I could survive long term on FB it's to manic for me, like you I have an account basically to keep in touch with family and see their photos when they are away, regarding privacy you can set your privacy setting to friends and family which I think prevents others from seeing what is going on?.

Dizzy Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 I'd have emailed you every hour every day between 9am and midnight if you had disappeared from here Algy Anyway I think I've sussed it now as I googled and there's also a clever little link you can press in FB to see how any others actually see your facebook timeline and my privicy settings seem to be ok I can't see any of personal stuff if I click on your name Algy so your secrets are safe too... but Bill might want to check his settings as I can see quite a bit of his timeline and photos simply by being logged into FB...... nice spotty legs by the way Bill Anyway too much time on FB and thinking for me for now as I've got brain freeze and a headache now but great looking at all the pics and reading peoples comments and memories. PS You have some question's you've not answered yet, one's about Dolmans Lane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy Posted October 19, 2013 Report Share Posted October 19, 2013 ....... how's your short hand Dizz. Probably better and a lot less confusing and boring than my long hand Algy I actually did pitman shorthand at school and I got some certificates in it too. Until you said that I'd actually completely forgotten that I had ever done it although I do now seem to remember squiggles and dots being in it... certainly can't remember anything else more technical about it though. Oooh that's bad ! But as usual you have stirred a long forgotten memory of the past Algy as I also now remember my mum trying her best to make it stick in my head. To her it was a natural 'language' to me it was odd but it must have lasted long enough for me to at least pass my exam... so thanks for the nice memory reminder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tracey Bennett Posted October 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 I love facebook but when you have friends and family living a distance away it's invaluable. Your privacy settings are tighter than a gnat's whatnot Algy, I tried to send you a friend request and couldn't even do that! The page has been around for a while. It used to be popular then changed to the new fb group format but it's not very good for a photo site as only the page owner can post in the main part. As a result it all died down. Someone seems to have resurrected the old format page and now it's buzzing again. I suspect the novelty's keeping it going at the moment and it'll calm down again in a couple of days.

Dizzy Posted October 20, 2013 Report Share Posted October 20, 2013 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzDzuB7T4eU I've never tired of watching that footage RC. It's fantastic isn't it and each time I watch them I spot something new. Part 2 is here if you've not seen it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKp-f8vohik Hey Algy make sure you watch part 1 & 2 too as they are great Good link RC and I recognised that chap immediately I saw him. I remember him and his wife Josie, lovely couple, on the curtain and bedding stall in the market. I wonder if they are still there as I've not been in that bit for a long time and I seem to remember that they had been there for years and also traded in the old market too before it moved to the current one.
