403

Why when I try to respond to a thread in the lounge does it come up with error 403?

There will probably be some words used in your response that are hitting our banned word list, it can be a bit funny as the list is dynamic based on security rules - hard to say which ones, but could try and send me a PM with your response and can try to work it out.

Hi. Thanks. It was:


Why do hotels still advertise rooms as having ‘flat screen TV’ as a feature?

Why can’t light switches be set up in such a way you don’t have to spend 5 minutes wandering around the room pressing them in different combinations in frustration to get it dark enough to sleep?

How common are fights over noise?

Pool towels: not washed that often, just tumble dried, correct?

Which nationalities are the worst guests?



I took out line by line in order to send that to you. Removed three lines

Went back through the lines I had to delete; I can’t see anything that’s wrong…

Don’t worry about and thanks for the offer of help.

Thanks for persevering with the posting - Would be interested in what the three lines were that caused the issue - if you could screen shot them and then post the image here it will help us to try and limit more of these false positives in our security systems

Run into this myself a few times.

Happens if you try to post, or preview the post, likewise editing it.

Appear to be certain phases. Lop the right paragraph out and it will post fine. But it will also post that paragraph at all just fine.

Hard to post what I would have posted, as it wont post with that in..... minor tweeks dont appear to change the outcome

No, it doesn't cost more to let it cool and then heat it back up. I am not sure why this myth prevails. In certain (but not all) conditions, if you use a heat pump, you might find a case where it costs less to maintain temperature, but even then, you will probably struggle to find a scenario in which it is more expensive to let the temperature drop (e.g. it would have to be a short term period outside the house, or you would have to have high thermal mass underfloor heating etc.).

If you want to optimise it, you can get fairly cheap thermostats that will proactively turn on to get the correct temperature for your return. E.g. "I want it to be 21degC until I leave home at 8 am, then I want it to be 21degC when I return at 7pm, whilst I am out, it can drop to 10degC". The thermostat will get to learn how quickly your house heats up and then will turn on an appropriate amount before 7pm to achieve your set temperature at 7pm. This is helpful as whether your house drops to 16degC or 12degC during the day depends on the outside weather.

Absolutely.

We have a Drayton 'Wiser'. Does exactly what you say.

[paragraph here]

So you can then program when you want it to be warm, rather than second guessing when the heating needs to kick in to allow that.

Works well.

### Paragraph ####

We use a Drayton 'Wiser' thermostat, which in 'Comfort' mode does exactly what you say, basic self-learning, so using online weather reports it can predict and compensate for the amount of time it will take to heat to the set point from the given start point. Its 'eco' mode then works to avoid overshoot at the end of the time slot.
