Mr. Lynn, get some sleep! It's quarter of midnight here and lord knows, I'm going to!
'Night all.
btw, I've *never* had a problem with the workings of this site, just with some of the researchers, now and then.

One of the fixes hadn't gone onto the database - I've fixed it now, so the next posting should reset the number of posts back to normal - I hope.

That seems to have done it, Jim! It now says "no new posts" for the first time in months.
Well done!

Hey Jim, is there a reason why your kids are in the header of the plain skin again?
Or is it just because you can?

I just posted this in the other announcement thread - thanks for resetting the threads to no new posts again - it confused me for a while because my Nice Friendly Girls thread said 'no new posts' and when I checked for the three new posts that usually cause that they weren't there. After checking my other old threads, they had all been reset too

Yeah the N3 thread for The Thingites has been displaying "minus 56 postings" for ages now. We were beginning to think we'd broken the site.

I used to have -215 in the NFG thread, seems to be fixed now though.

In the brunel thread (possibly others too) we no longer have out personal spaces listed as an article that we have written, I assume this was intentional with the new update.

Marjin, After a long time of procrastination back lurking Posted Mar 30, 2004
I think that happened before. Yesterday I looked at a newbies page, and could not find it.

I must be nuts, "brunel thread", or maybe I was just asleep. I obviously meant Brunel Skin.

Odd. This is my first post since the update. Testing...

Wow that was fast and painless. I slept right through the outage.

Universal Granny Posted Mar 31, 2004
Can I just creep softly in and put in my two-pennyworth and quietly disappear again?
On the subject of when BST begins and ends, I have always found that it begins on the last weekend of October and ends on the last weekend of March, completely regardless of whether there is an equinox, an "R" in the month, or the dog's just chased the cat up a tree.
That gives us exactly 6 months of each "time".
OK, going now, Granny has cluttered up your thread for long enough.

Is it just me, or have the 'busiest conversations' links disappeared from the front page?
Along with Recently updated, and have you seen...?

It's just you! Or at least it isn't me (using brunel skin, no frames, Windows + IE).
