    Evenin,

    TD pointed out that a thread of Guy's wasn't allowing anyone to post on it.
    Neither Owen nor I could edit it either.

    Conclusion is that beginning with 'Mail' created a weird URL issue where /Mail made the server think it was a dodgy link to the mail system.

    Fixed, via a convoluted process, but have informed Otto so he can have a deeper look.
    Morale & Mail - Postal service to Normandy 1944

    Apologies to Guy if he saw his thread do weird things while I was fixing.
    Nobody's fault.

    JUST PLEASE DO NOT START THREADS WITH 'MAIL' until we have this fixed.

    Cheers,
    ~A

    (And thanks to TD for reporting.)

    What if I use 'Male' - does that count?

    Have you thought about refusing to work for any organisation with 'mail' in the title as well ?

    It's a good job that we're Second World War and don't need to mention chainmail too often.

    Whatever, I do feel that as this problem is to do with the word 'mail' and involves, by his own admission, 'not working', it should henceforth be known as the 'Owen Bug' :)

    Why cant they leave it up with a neighbour..The bone idle folk who work for the Post Office. The Daily Mail is a cracking newspaper..

    Here in Australia, I'd prefer to collect - we have way too many "mail thieves" who feel it's their God-given right to pilfer mail left in mailboxes (unsecured) and/or "safe places". Even leaving under the front mat doesn't help and our couriers are worse: leave their packages on the doorstep for the world to see and help themselves.:mad:

    The 'Mail' I could understand. Sites have mail pages, servers get confused, but now one beginning with 'RM' did the same, which is a bit of a bugger for those with Green-hatted interests.
    So... avoid RM as the first title word too. :rolleyes:
    Sorry, will nudge the glorious leader again.

    Yeah, I wondered about that.
    Is it all a plot by UPS & the Yodel industrial complex?

    Title amended.
    The boss is hoping that XF2 may sort these niggles out.

    Yeah, I said XF2. That's the next iteration/update of this software.
    That's the dreaded CHANGE that is!*
