Big news... The THREADS!!!

[gazzawazza]

Right , we were all whinging for weeks, but has anyone else noticed that the threads are now working perfectly and everything is in chronological order?

Well done AnswerBank (at last!!!)

PS. Do I get a brownie point for being first to mention it???!!!

[flirty41]

Hi gazza! Yes, I noticed it yesterday evening. And even star-rated answers stay in the right order too! But I think I might get the Brownie point actually, as I posted about it in Einstein's Q 'Answers to Questions' in 'How it Works last night, but let's not fight! Let's just enjoy the moment! :-) Well done Answerbank!!

blimey you're right they are!!!!!!!!!! Congrats AB, all is forgiven!

[sft42]

Aye but have they stoppped the IE6 crashing problem yet? I think not...GGRRRR!

[darth vader]

i rolled back to IE5 and not had problems since...

[RCP]

IE5? IE6? Now I know why I don't visit the Internet & Technology section - haven't a clue what anybody's on about. Good to be able to read the threads in the right order though.

Internet Explorer V5 (IE5) and Internet Explorer V6 (IE6), RCP - there seems to be a problem when accessing this site via IE6 in that it crashes the explorer and you have to re-start the explorer

excellent news, I hope sddsdean apprecaites not coming last all the time. Now if they could just delete the NEW! fom the adverts section listing that would be nigh on perfect.

Well done AB. Next fix? You're about to post a Question e.g. 'When is St. David's day?' and the 'Already Posted engine' says 'Is Doris Day still alive?' Do you still want to post your question' but fails to point you to the stash of St David's day questions already in the vault. Can you fix this please. And also, small point, can you 'educate' the expletive engine to allow words like

pr-i-ck as in finger, b-um as in tramp, sc-u-m as in bathwater, fa-gg-ot as in food, ti-ts as in birds after all you already allow jugs, hooters, cock, pussy, bearded clam and [.... OK we get the picture. You are indeed far more clever than the expletive-deleter program (programme?!). But short of previewing every message before it is posted to the site, we're stuck with what we have. - AB Editor]

[gazzawazza]

Ok flirty, you have it, I'm just glad to be able to follow threads.

Now if I only knew what IE6s and IE5s were... Still, I suppose it's something else to worry about!!!

[darth vader]

see my posting 4 up gazzawazza (i can say that now they're gonna stay in order :-)

[flirty41]

Awww, cheers gazza! (I know what you mean about IE5 and IE6 - it's all nonsense to me too! Do you read the answers in the IT section sometimes - it's like a foreign language!)

[gazzawazza]

Yes flirty, I do and most of the time it's mumbo-jumbo, but do you know once, I answered a question on it and was awarded three stars?!! Result!!!
