A day without a new article on the front page

. . . might be cause for concern.

I’m not worried when the daily offering shows up late on any given morning (I tend to log onto the Homepage at about 11:00a.m. Chicago time), but is there any reason why nothing has shown up for June 23? Here it is, June 24 at noon (Chicago time). I hope everything is all right.

Huh.

I thought it was just my browser failing to reload the front page properly, which happens sometimes. What’s going on?

Pheuw, finally a new front page! I guess everyone’s just mellowing out for the 4th.

Well, maybe I should have said “retro-new” or perhaps “nuevo-new”. Or would a really new one be “nuevo-new” and the classics just be called “new”?

The front page has been updated, but unless Firefox is really acting screwy on me, they’re still a day behind. The article about Spanish last names should’ve gone up yesterday, and then either a Classic or Staff Report today.

[ol][]Firefox? You mean that Russion plane Clint Eastwood flew?[]Are you prescient? How would you know what articles should have gone up on what days? Unless you are assuming the missed day should have been the one about “Spanish last names”.[/ol]

No, it’s Mozilla Firefox, a much superior browser to IE in every way – even before Release 1. It used to be called Firebird, and before that, Phoenix.

I knew you were going to say that.

True, they may have decided to skip a day, but I don’t think I’ve seen it happen for a random day since I started reading. And as for “knowing” the schedule, before I signed up for my account I saw a couple times where someone (usually a mod/admin or a SDSAB) talked about the update schedule, and what articles go on what days.

Of course, the easy way to resolve this is to wait until today’s is posted (Cecil didn’t take a week off, did he?) and check whether there’s another “new” article between it and the Spanish last names.

And Earthling already covered the non-movie Firefox, so I don’t have to evangelize in yet another thread :slight_smile:
