Oh that'll mean the boards will be screwed for the next 6 weeks

Three announcements on one day
Wherever do you take the time for frollicking like this, eh?
Why couldn't you choose a day when I'm at work

40.1 pheloxi

I've just discovered the fourth announcement ( not in chronological order, i think). I don't like that one

Ok so why has this posting appeared twice on my PS?

"You posted to this thread before the informing of the new message reached your message list, by posting to it you created a second informing about new conversations of this thread. "

Trying to decode what he just said.

"I did the other thing: I read two of the announcement threads before they appeared on my message list, they showed as if I was not informed. On the bottom they did say [subscribe to this conversation] where I expected to find [unsubscribe from this conversation] as I am informed of the Announcement Forum.

This stupid button clicker subscribed to both of them immediately, and to no surprise both showed up double on my list.

The only way to create a single thread is open the thread, unsubscribe, use the button to go back to the conversation and subscribe again. "

Rereading again

"Still not very clear .

Hopefully the tweak they announced in this thread will deal with this phenomena. "

Downtime on the 15th February? Oh we'll be fine then :S

Traveller in Time reading old news
"Well it was, Collective started the downtime last Tuesday.

I guess the editors wrote this on 14th February. . .

22 March, 2006: Advance . . . . . - 10:00 GMT (approx) (no new posts) No Posting -5 Weeks ago.

Only the Thread-Lag kept it off our lists. "

New date announced.

April 1st; which oddly enough is known in France as " for all the " day...

All seems OK at this end so far.
