Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

"R.A.McCartney" addressing "Bonkey":

Does JC stand for Joe mcCarthy? Because you certainly sound like Old Joe. 'Are you now or have you ever been a member of the ICP?' To paraphrase Woody Allen in 'The Front': I don't recognise your right to ask me these kind of questions, and further more, you can go **** yourself. I am reporting you to the directors of boards.ie for abusing your position as a moderator, and I urge everyone who believes in free speech to do the same.

Well yes and no, he's pleaded his case to me, however the first thing I read was R.A.M. telling a mod to "go **** himself"
so I havent done anything and I'll be watching the forum for a while.

Has bonkey given up posting to boards because of this, or for another reason (or is he just on holiday or something)? Cos it'd be a shame if that happened because of some muppet.

Our forum guidelines state that a mod will not discuss that stuff in a thread. Given that I cant PM RAM to get it sorted either, I simply handed it off to deVore via PM, as per his instructions a while back after the last big mod flameup. He, as he says, is watching. I'm staying outta it.

<aside>Course, he could have PMed me back and let me know what was happening </aside>

As to the absence thing....this all cropped up round about the same time that work got somewhat busy (no posting during day) and I have visitors from Ireland for the week....so its all I can do to just mod the forum. No time for posting much at the mo.

Cos it'd be a shame if that happened because of some muppet.

Aw shux. Youre too kind. Im pretty sure theres a lot of people wouldnt consider it a shame at all at all.

oops, sorry about that bonkey.

I usually watch a while before making a decision, I dont just support mods blindly but then I read some of the things being written and I wanted to see more of what was going on.
I'm not exactly sure whats going on yet but Jacques does not impress me with his civility as yet.
