h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I am certain this has been logged and discussed. I just wanted to bring it to your attention again Milla please.

It's the bug that shows the wrong post in the reply pane.

I don't often need to refer in detail to a post to which I am replying, but on the occasions that I do it is irksome to find I can't do it. ie an earlier post is featured, rather than the one that should be shown.


Thanks

Oh, yes, a known and irritating bug. It's not even consistently showing the last or next to last post, at least then I could suggest a consistent workaround...

Still not fixed though is it?

Sorry, no... When we can liberate tech from the daily grudge, hope increases, but we still can't say when this will be fixed.

The problem is that the API that gives us the information is broken. I can't amend the APIs, because they're compiled code. I'll be rewriting the APIs soon hopefully, and will hopefully get it fixed then.

Thanks. Could you give some quantitative estimates for 'soon' and 'hopefully' please?

I finish my full time job at the end of this week, and am giving up three months to do unpaid work on the site to try and sort all this out. So, soon is I should start on the bug list next week, and hopefully is I'd like to try and get through it before I have to get a job again because I've spent all my savings

Pastey, you are a
