I’m so happy (sniff). Just stating the obvious, with a thank you to the tech types. Withdrawal is so hard… * * * ## Catrandom Go to a vet that’s also a taxidermist. Either way, you’ll get your cat back. _Sig courtesy of the amazing WallyM7_ ---

I have a sneaking suspicion that my boss is the one who keeps breaking this message board so I will get some work done. It doesn’t work that way but I hate it when the board’s down because it’s soo hard not to be obvious when you’re reading a paperback murder mystery. Thanks to one and all who authored the repairs. I don’t want your job. (Unless it’s okay to read paperback murder mysteries…?) * * * “I’ll tell him but I don’t think he’ll be very keen. He’s already got one, you see!” ---

Well, thank god. I was actually having to do productive work, for heavens sake. ---

Oh, you guys didn’t notice? Only one forum was out at a time, not all of them. Weird. ---

They may have fixed it, but if this thread is any indication, they didn’t succeed in fixing the time dilation effects. * * * Heck is where you go when you don’t believe in Gosh. ---

The funny thing is, it wasn’t totally fixed. Notice the dates on the first few postings! April 7th, it’s April 6th as I type this… I didn’t notice it till things started dropping off the top (where I had posted) Then, some kind person in chat said the dates were screwy…man I thought I was loosing it! \< the Earth was tilting the wrong way on it’s axis there for a while \>
