Shouldn't it be "From h2g2: ..."?

Hi!
I got something published in the h2g2 Post. On my Uspace this shows up as:
"From : A698880 The Paper Post (10 Hours Ago)"
while my other contributions to The Post are shown as e.g.
"From h2g2: A692057 Alternative Smiley-Tags (2 Weeks Ago)"
Why's the "h2g2" missing?

Did anything odd happen when you created this entry? Because it's got a site ID of 0, which in normal use should be impossible. Did the site lock up or crash while you were posting it?

for Tube. It's not everyday you achieve the impossible.

It wasn't me... it was Shazz (U48304)! She's the one who uploads all the h2g2 Post stuff. I suggest you ask her. In any case I'd prefer it if all the h2g2 things didn't say "From h2g2" but only the 360° stuff said "From 360°"... But I guess that's slightly beyond the scope of this thread.
Anyway. I think Shazz posted the thing during last nights server troubles. See F14181?thread=163283&skip=60&show=20#p1761704 (#72 et seq) and F77636?thread=167829&skip=80&show=20#p1761673 (#99)

How bizarre!!! 
At first I had a feeling that I MAY have been uploading that page when I was also surfing at 360 and tried to open the Realplayer window to see the progress of the microlight.
The whole computer froze, I couldn't use the magic cont/alt/delete to extracate myself, so had to go for the cold, hard 'off button' treatment.
However... having quickly looked at the timescale, I edited this when h2g2 was running perfectly and extremely fast. I didn't dare try to upload any articles with blobs until I thought h2g2 was stable again, especially as someone queried whether uploading blobs could be the cause of the problem. (I know, I know, I'm not actually 'uploading' them, but I am 'forcing' them to work.) 
Do I get a special award for engaging the impropability drive?

Hmmmm
Just checking for an article from last week's Post and I noticed a whole pile of entries which have the problem Tube reported above!
If you look here: <./>MA54963?show=25&skip=25&type=2</.>
you'll see what I mean!
This must have happened over quite a long timescale as I code as I go!
