It refused to let me log on this morning. But this was obviously the mods fault, I mean, what ever goes wrong with the software here? ---

Silly suggestion I am sure but ----- why not merge all these related threads into one? ---

> [@](#): > > Quoth **Asimovian** : > > It looks like things are functional again, but please let us know if you encounter any further oddities (not counting your fellow posters). What if I myself am the oddity? And it’s not surprising that we had so many threads on this, because of the nature of the problem. People _were_ able to create new threads, but they weren’t showing up in the forum listings, so others mostly had no way of knowing that the thread had been created. So everyone who looked for an existing thread didn’t find one, and so everyone created the “first thread”. ---
