Test Post To work on improving the layout

This is just a test post as we are working on improving the layout of the pages

 Good news. Some page numbers would help as threads do get long these days?

good & get rid of cricket section  please

 The easiest way to improve the layout is to ban Beeno1. We have just done this on Supersupporter and it made an immediate difference.

 As long as Folk realise they can post cricket on the rugby board. Its actually nice to have it all in one place.

Bobok I trust Barlee has changed his avatar and bedpan is safely back in the fold?

Beano how goes it at the new job ?

I think this is the best forum on the web for rugga banter

Best layout, best comments and helluva fun.

Please Ed dont change anything.

Just a few matters while we are working on some of the issues.

1. We notice a lot of duplicate usernames in the database. To clean up, we will be removing the duplicates, unless you contact us at webmaster@sarugby.com and indicate that you are indeed a legitimate poster. This includes all usernames with a numeric ending, for example username1 or username10, etc

2. Make sure that you have a valid email address, as many posters have registered here with false email addresses. All those accounts will be deleted! If you are one of those users, it would be prudent to register with a new valid email address. All current usernames with false email addresses will be permanently disabled.

3. Please stop using foul language as it detracts from the value of the discussions and it reflects poorly on this website. Some advertisers have already indicated that they would withdraw if it continued, as it currently is.

While we are working on this, please do not use long usernames, as my own example, as it throws the forum out of alignment and makes it difficult to read. (It will be fixed soon, with a limit on the number of characters in the usernames).

Yours truly,

SAM

This all sounds very dodgy. I'm pretty sure the site administrator would make these kind of requests using his normal login and not some temporary made-up login that no-one has ever seen before and which only serves to completely screw up the margins of the front page.

You are of course 100% correct.

My apologies. It was just a test username, as I noticed the layout changed when one of the other posters made a post.

I just forgot to change it to something shorter again. But I won't be posting under this username again anyway, as it was just for the test. I apologise again for any inconvenience it may have caused.

SAM

Thank you ED for making the world a better place.  May I apologise for my daddy's language, sorry but he grew up in a disfunctional home so he does not really know better than to vloek the folk.

As for duplicates these guys forget the passwords then they register again and again.  But I see you have a few gatkruipers here to..

Maaike die Bokke gaan wen,nê

Good day Sam

Thank you in advance for your enthusiasm.

However I'd like to advise all of our posters that we have never met SAM not do we know who he is.

Thank you for the entertainment.

Enjoy the game tomorow.

Yours in rugga.

Ed

See now, that's more like the real Admin.

How gullible are the likes of Baboon-ou and KaalheadFred? LMAO!

Rooipoes, jou ouma is gullible,nê. Just because you made a lucky guess you are God?  nee jy bly 'n Rooipoes apie.

I have nothing better to do on a Friday because not many people visit my dial a friend website. So do you mind if i sit behind my desk and try and see if i can piss you all off?

I make a very good pen pal too.

& that could be Storming Ed

That contraption would of course if you are using it on the vorrect type of mole. Trying it on the following one will help you fokol.

 

Moles are like opinions -- almost everyone has one. In fact, it's normal to have 10 to 40 moles on your skin by adulthood [source: WebMD]. Moles appear when cells grow in clusters instead of spreading throughout the skin. These cells, called melanocytes, make the pigment that gives skin its color, and they can cause moles to darken during teenage years, after sun exposure or during pregnancy [source: WebMD]. Moles can appear anywhere on your body -- from your face to your feet -- and they're typically harmless. However, some moles can be cancerous.

Most moles are brown or black in color and smaller than the size of a pencil eraser -- but if your mole doesn't fit this description, that doesn't necessarily mean it's cancerous. However, if your mole is asymmetrical, has an irregular border, is different colors or changes shape, you may want to see a dermatologist [source: American Academy of Dermatology]. Most moles are benign, but a dermatologist will be able to remove the mole and test it to determine if it's cancerous [source: Leffell].

But cancer isn't the only reason to have a mole removed. Many people elect to get rid of moles because they simply don't like the way they look. If you have an unsightly mole, you don't have to live with it. An hour in an operating room and a couple weeks of recovery could leave you mole-free and confident. There are several mole-removal procedures available; however some are more effective than others.

Keep reading to learn about mole removal procedures.

Mole Removal Procedures

Whether you're removing your mole for cosmetic purposes or for health reasons, there are two main methods of mole removal: excision with stitches and excision with cauterization. Both of these mole-removal methods are considered surgical procedures, and an anesthetic will be used to numb the area around the mole [source: Mayo Clinic].

Excision with cauterization involves using a scalpel to shave a mole down to skin level or just below it. This will inevitably cause bleeding, which the doctor will stop using either an electrical instrument or a solution to cauterize the affected area. Excision with stitches involves a slightly deeper cut than the previous method -- a surgeon will determine how much skin surrounding the mole must also be removed and then draw an outline around it. The surgeons cuts the entire area is cut out of the body, and uses stitches are used to close the wound [source: Schlessinger].

Occasionally, doctors may also suggest a punch biopsy to remove a very small mole -- a technique that involves a small incision made by a cookie-cutter-like device [source: Mayo Clinic]. But while other mole-removal methods have been tried, none have proved as effective as excision. If you're uncomfortable with these methods, there are alternatives, such as mole-removal creams. Keep reading to find out how these creams work.

Does Mole-removal Cream Work?

If the idea of needles and scalpels is more than you can handle, you could try a mole-removal cream. There are quite a few creams on the market that claim to remove moles. However, they don't usually work [source: Gibson].

It's easy to see why people are tempted to try mole removal creams: They offer a cheaper, surgery-free way to get rid of moles. But if you're not careful with these creams, you could end up with a scar or a skin infection. Most mole removal creams require you to scratch the surface of your mole before application. The cream then enters your body through the open sore and basically burns the skin and creates a scab underneath the mole. In theory, the scab will eventually fall off and take the mole with it [source: Coleman].

Sometimes mole-removal creams work, but they often remove more than just the mole. These creams can leave pits in your skin where the mole used to be, or they can cause scarring that's more noticeable than the mole itself. They can also make your skin more susceptible to infection, and by removing a mole yourself, you could miss the early warning signs of cancer [source: Coleman].

Atypical Is Kind of Typical

About 10 percent of Americans have an atypical mole, but that doesn't mean that all atypical moles are cancerous or that they need to be removed. Some atypical moles are just that -- atypical and nothing more. But if you have one, you should have it looked at by a dermatologist [source: AOCD].

Mole Removal Cost

You can do a lot in an hour. You can watch a couple of sitcoms, you can get a pedicure, and you can even get a mole removed. Of course, getting a mole removed is a little more complicated than the first two options -- and it's more expensive. There isn't a set cost for mole removal because all moles are different and prices vary by doctor, but plan to spend between $100 and $500 [source: Hacker].

The price of a mole-removal procedure is usually based on the size, shape and location of the mole and the complexity of the procedure. For example, having a large mole removed from your cheek will typically cost more than having a small one taken off your arm. First of all, the size of the moles is different -- it takes more time to remove a larger mole and therefore it costs more. Secondly, the skin on your cheek is more cosmetically sensitive than the skin on your arm and may require a more complex procedure [source: Hacker].

Finally, you must also consider the cost of pathology -- most doctors recommend that every mole be sent for pathological study to determine whether it's cancerous. Typically, cosmetic removal of moles isn't covered by insurance, but the removal of a potentially cancerous mole is covered. However, insurance policies differ, so it's best to check with your provider to determine whether the cost of mole removal is covered [source: Hacker].

Keep reading to learn what to do following a mole removal procedure.

Moles on Top of Moles

If you have a lot of moles on your body, you could be at a higher risk of developing skin cancer. Having 40 moles or fewer on your body is average, but if you have more than 100, it's recommended that you see a dermatologist for screening on a regular basis [source: Rodriguez].

Mole Removal Aftercare

It doesn't take much to ensure a speedy recovery and minimal scarring after a mole-removal procedure. All you have to do is follow a few simple steps and avoid some common mistakes to ensure your skin will be as good as new in a couple weeks.

Following a mole-removal procedure, you should clean the area twice a day with water or diluted hydrogen peroxide and apply an antibiotic cream and a clean bandage [source: Schlessinger]. You may have heard that air helps a wound heal, but studies show that cuts heal faster when they're treated with an antibiotic cream and covered with a bandage. And while topical vitamin E may help reduce scarring, it's best to wait to apply it until the wound heals completely. Applying vitamin E too soon can slow the healing process and possibly make scarring even worse [source: Schlessinger].

Common Cancer

In 1930, one in every 5,000 Americans was likely to develop skin melanoma. However, by 2004, this ratio changed to one in 65, and today, melanoma is the second most common cancer in women between the ages of 20 and 29 [source: Skin Care Physicians].

Skin moles have been portrayed as ugly blemishes marring the faces of villains and witches. They've also been seen as sophisticated marks of beauty, gracing the faces of the world's most renowned celebrities and supermodels.

Moles are an incredibly common occurrence; nearly everyone has at least a few. Most prevalent in fair-skinned people, skin moles are generally harmless skin growths that result from a high concentration of natural skin pigment. In most cases, moles go through their normal life cycle without ever causing a problem -- they're merely a normal part of a person's skin.

While most are not, skin moles can also be an important indicator of skin cancer. It's important to learn about the different types of skin moles in order to evaluate whether one may be cancerous. Certain symptoms may indicate the development of an atypical mole, which a doctor should check. You'll learn more about the mole-cancer connection in a couple pages, but for the majority of people, skin moles are just a part of everyday life.

This article also explores the types of skin moles, their causes and possible medical and cosmetic treatments. Read on to learn more about the types of skin moles and signs for which one should watch when examining the skin.

on behalf of my good buddy mole boy here, please leave them the fudge alone.

what a horrible looking contraption, o_O

Sooo, I've really been had!

Someone emailed me and said I must shorten my username, because of the site rules changing. And I fell for it, as it looked like a legitimate SA Rugby email.

At least I like the shorter version!

Most likely to be Rooinek, who acts as if he "exposed" the scam. Meanwhile it was him all along!

Haha.

Nailed it!

Well done Ed.

Timely intervention.

Hope the Bokke are as quick as you are to the breakdown tomorrow..

"Sooo, I've really been had!"

Not really surprising, Truth, I'm sure you get . . . ummmm . . . "had" . . . quite regularly by the other inmates of your correctional facility.

Ah well, I have to admit it was a good joke! Credit to you!

I'm man enough to admit that I've been fooled!

Sounds like you're still being fooled then because it's no credit to me. I didn't post as the long-name guy. I'm just the one who pointed out how unlikely it was that the real admininstrator would be screwing up the front page.

How about having those little boxes where one can copy and paste the links of images instead of writing the damn html code yourself for just adding a picture?

@spoony,

why cant u just copy paste the pictures or drag them??? thats how do all my images and andimated emoticons, o_O

@mikey,
spot on bro, just ignore it if u odnt want to read it, i have used that tactic many times before in the past and always works a treat, :o)

 What with ss moles, false Eds etc one has to be on ones toes.  Ou rooitwit though was wide awake.

Mike their object has always been to be destructive but we have always seen them off and always will. Man we even suspect one of these moles of hacking the system and bringing the site down shortly after it was kicked started early last year - no proof though.

Long live SA Rugy.com the best SA Rugby site by the proverbial mile.  Those who like the board can deal with the ss moles. They are inherently cowardly and leave with their tails between their legs yelping and squealing all the way. Bwahahahhahahaha 

Bobbok I am busy with a new business which is going reasonably well and could do very well. We shall see.

sasuke are you reffering to pictures on this server? 

 Whats with all these SS Moles ? are they some kind of underground Nazi's or summat ?

And after seeing how easily taken in some folks are I have a question or two  ,anbody wanna buy a a bridge ? how about some swamp adjacent land ?or some ......
