why do all numbers go to the Front page? It seems like a missed oppertunity to promote some of hootoos Christmas Entries, both Edited and unedited.

Sorry, I don't mean to be critical, and I've seen the coding, so I do know a lot of time and work (and probably a bit of hair pulling smiley - winkeye) has gone into The Post's Advent Calendar. smiley - smiley

If it's not too late, and you're not offended by my offer, I could copy and paste to an entry, add a different Entry for each number (I've already tried it, I know how), then if you're happy with it, you can copy and paste it back. Then I'd delete mine. smiley - smiley

Ah, right, ok. smiley - smiley Look forward to that then. smiley - biggrin

Did wonder why you'd go to all that trouble, then have all numbers going to same page. Makes sense now. smiley - zen

A bit cruel though, I'm an Aries, we're not known for our patience. I stopped buying the smiley - choc Advent Calendars a few years ago, I'd eat them all within a couple of days, well they are tiny bits of smiley - choc

Thanks for your replies smiley - smiley...have to learn some patients now smiley - doh

Testing the link to Advent Calandar that I've put at the top of my PS, so I don't forget it's here, I 'know' how bad my memory is. smiley - laugh like what you've done with the numbers smiley - magic

Don't worry, Christiane, Mala was only joking. Go ahead and open the doors. Currently 'filled' are numbers 1 to 15. smiley - hug

Thanks but no thanks. !!

i got such a shock when I actually - oh well

"na faz mal".
"No harm done" in Portugese.

How did you know I had been. When I got "the" message I removed my entry.!!

No harm done, but I loved advent calenders.

Did you click on a future date then, Christiane? Indeed, no harm done, it's just a place holder for the article we'll upload on the day when it arrives. smiley - smiley
