why is it.. "Pillock Alert in the Answerbank"

How funny

I've noticed this a few times... I have visited a thread.. then when I want to go back to the same thread... I go to the 'History' and instead of the name of the thread (which is meant to show) it states
'Pillock Alert in the Answerbank'

hilarious.. makes me chuckle everytime!!!

When you say 'History' do you mean your profile? all my recently viewed threads and subscribed ones have their title heading?

Got a screen shot, I have no idea what you're seeing, I see the same as mamy.

[squarebear]

Because you posted on a thread entitled Pillock Alert.

I can do a screen shot.. but dont know how to show it to you .. where can i upload it?

[squarebear]

I just explained why you get that.

[Nosha123]

no square bear - I was on a thread about relationships entitled 'am I being too sensitive'
Then when I went to go back to that same thread.. it was the 'pillock alert' in my Safari History menu...

I've had it before a few times on multiple threads...

perhaps SpareEd might know!

I assume AB is written for Internet Explorer and Firefox rather than every possible browser. Is it the same for you in a more well used browser?

[Nosha123]

call me a snob - but I dont use the 'more common' web browsers!!
;-)

[squarebear]

There's your problem then.

[NazNomad]

It's not a Safari problem ...

[squarebear]

It works ok for me on IE and Firefox.

[Nosha123]

yes but it doesnt do it all the time.. in fact its quite rare that I see it...
but instead of labelling the name of the thread with the question title
its states 'Pillock Alert in Answerbank'

Maybe I'll post to Ed... it will be in the programming of the site somewhere their end!!

[AB Editor]

We put that in just for you Nosha123, we've profiled your tastes through your browsing habits and we recently decided to turn on the "make user chuckle" node for your account.

Glad to see it is working.
