John Robinson Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Only a minor point, I know, but why is the forum clock (see RH side of page at the very bottom) STILL one hour behind? We 'sprang forward' in March. This is a little confusing when I visit the site each day. I have to remember the time on the previous day when I last visited - minus one hour - when I want to pick up from where I left off. With my ageing mind, this is not as easy as you might think!

However, it would also appear that the server's time is an hour out...This is a little confusing when I visit the site each day.

Just click "View New Posts" and you get the threads that have changed since your last visit. Then click the little red box in front of the thread title and it takes you to the first unread post in the thread. It's a little odd that it gives you a few extra threads whose latest message is a little earlier, but these have no red box to click, so there's no confusion. Finally, if there are no new messages it slightly alarmingly gives an error message instead of just saying so. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I often don't bother to log in when I just want to keep up to date. Obviously, to post/reply I have to. I must not be lazy... I must not be lazy... I must not be lazy.
