I just tried to post and got a message saying no new posts.

Is this part of the new changes, or is it some sort of limit that we’ve reached in that thread?

For the record my post was going to be this one:

Soon afterwards, Filipino and American prisoners of war were forced into the Bataan Death March.

I’ve learned a lot in that fun thread!

I’m guessing that **Sampiro** , who started that thread, was allowed to make one final post before it was closed? If that’s true then that’s cool, a nice touch. It’s then going to be moved to the new Thread Games forum?

Still appears to be open to me… He never requested it closed.

Idle, at the moment, no new posts of any kind can be made in The Game Room. Seems to be a mistake related to the current forum changes.

The problem is being worked on. The thread mentioned in the OP has now been moved to the Thread Games forum and accepted a test post by me.

In the other thread about the new Games Forum, Ed says that Jerry is working on it.

Yes, all moved threads are good. It’s just that one forum.

I’ve notice you’ve been taking charge of a lot of this lately. Are you speaking for the tech guy(s), or do you actually have some tech expertise?

So, ready to play? I doubt it, but I’ve started threads that strangled on the cord before. I’ll be back with a piece of trivia: play off any part of it so long as you keep the thread going.

This is a bad design that needs to be replaced. Key off of the sub-board’s  
internal code instead (requires searches, but load file into memory, can be  
very fast still).
