i suggest mod's that start a new thread "my name is Pakistan"

this is basically to collect and analise all the statements and views expressed by TSP sympathizers from indian side.

just my thoughts.

No one is unbaised so to speak what is important is , is the bias in the interests of the Nation ?

My 2 cent ..
If this is a server/OS issue check if they use reliable NTP time source and make sure it works on OS ( open source NTP can be unreliable and can be broken at times )

A buggy/broken BIOS can also be a source of time issue ,generally a BIOS update can do the trick.

Mods, can you ask people to post their DefExpo pics at BR gallery ?

Suggestion to the Admins:

Please consider changing the Title of the Oppression of Minorities in Pakistan and Bangla Desh thread in the Strategic Issues Forum.

At the time this thread was started by Dr Benkin, there was a good reason to have a topic entitled "Oppression of Minorities in Pakistan and Bangla Desh."

However, things have changed since then in Bangladesh and this thread seems to now focus mainly on events in Pakistan.

While there is no doubt some victimization of minorities still going on by Islamist Parties in Bangladesh, we should recognize that the Islamists no longer have the sort of free run and official sanction to commit atrocities as the did in the Khaleda Zia days. In short Bangladesh is a very different kettle of fish from Pakistan; diplomacy and changes in political climate are making headway there.

Hence it may be unfair and even counterproductive to keep Bangladesh as predominantly in the title of this thread. If we have visitors from that country, after all, seeing us do an equal-equal of Bangladesh with Pakistan might cause them to question any degree of sympathy for India which may have played a role in bringing them here.

Just my thoughts.

Dear members/mods,

Approx until a year ago, used to enjoy jokes at the Humour thread. Then the thread as such suddenly disappeared and I have not been able to find it though after repeated searches. Have we discontinued or merged with some other thread?

Also, just read from Dileepullah that Enqyoobullah has left BR. Came as a big shock! Just checked on the latter's last post and it had been in Dec 09. If this is really true and if the reasons are not sensitive for disclosure, please let know the status. Would like to hear from him.

Thanks

Webmasters... is it possible to have a strikethrough tag (one which shows text crossed out?). I believe it is fairly standard like the boldface, italic and underline tags.

No one is arguing that it has stopped entirely or that it does not go on in palpable measure. What has changed since Belkin named the thread is the state sponsorship of persecution against minorities in BD. Continuing an equal-equal of BD with Pakistan, where the state is very much involved with persecuting minorities, is entirely self defeating.

The last two pages of that thread have to split off as a new (TSP specific) minority oppression thread.
The original thread has been archived.

*** IMPORTANT ***

Earlier today I tried to upgrade the forum software to latest version however the upgrade was not successful, so I have had to restore the data from last nights’ backup unfortunately this means that any posts in the last 8 hours will be lost. I am sorry for any inconvenience.

Regards,
Seetal

The new upgrade will bring us feed urls . seetal is investigting the previous upgrade issues and will apply it soon.

We may need to get rid of the old BR template as it may not support some of the new features.

Admins,

The 'New Post' button is very confusing and cause of unnecessary threads. I have created a new button that says "New Thread", which hopefully might reduce the problem.
Here is the button image:

I'm not sure if webmasters can change the forum software too much. But I do have a suggestion. In my phone, I have this issue. But when I use Opera mini browser, I can scroll using the scroll bar.

I second that. The "New post" is very misleading and the exact opposite of what it does (create a thread). It would be better if admins can replace it with the button that yogi ji has created. Added to this, will be the "Warning" already in place. Should significantly reduce unnecessary threads

Samay · Post by **Samay** » 13 Mar 2010 18:41

I have seen that there is more and more attention paid on postiing jahil hamid's videos in tsp and other threads..
.... my opinion is that zaid hamid's videos should not be posted in tsp thread , it should be posted in benis thread only or a separate thread should be made for it(like baki humour thread etc,.) or better these are deleted from here.....

.. ,because what he is doing is producing more maniacs in pakistan,and making them indulge in constant fight with the Indians ,

knowing that Indians are more tech savvy these days,he is continuously motivating paki maniacs to war and spread repetitive nonsense through internet ,as evident through his recent videos,i ve seen some like wake up lahore etc ^^.so by posting videos we benefit and promote his ideology here,,,, therefore

He should not be promoted through BRF platforms ,in any way
[/size]

I hope mods notice this and act accordingly.

Gerard · Post by **Gerard** » 13 Mar 2010 19:15

What is to be gained by having only Pakistanis being able to see and hear Prophet Zaid Hamid?

Pakistanis have only to turn on their TV to see Zaid Hamid.

Non-Pakistanis need to see him too. Non-Pakistanis are told that 'Pakistanis are just like us'.
They are fed 'Aman-ki-Asha'. They are encouraged to light candles at the Wagah border.

Should they not also see what motivates the Pakistani young?
