<HTML>I too noticed the boojumming last night, but can't work out what's done it in. The good news is once you get to the older threads, post something and then you can get the whole load - but don't click on "go to top"...</HTML>

<HTML>Not convinced. Only the index is boojummed, and nobody put script on that.</HTML>

<HTML>except for the fact that even when I refresh the page, subjects that were previously "new" suddenly were not there at all or were no longer new but then would be marked new even though there were no new messages added. Something is definitely awry!</HTML>

<HTML>it did that to me at Reading last week. I suspect there's just too much for the ffroum to take, and they need to trim it a little</HTML>

<HTML>that could be it, which may also be the cause of the other problem.</HTML>

<HTML>"The Fforum canna take it any more, captain, we're going to have to dump the core!" "No, Scotty, there must be a better way!" "I believe, captain, it would be logical to reduce the critical mass by ejecting all the ghastly puns." "But then there would be nothing left! Think of something! Bones?" "I'm a doctor Jim, not a website engineer!" "Well, sod off then 'cos you're rag all use here. Mr. Chekhov, take us forward at warp factor three." "Werry vell, Capitain." "Don't I get a line, then?" "No, Mr. Sulu, you do not. We never did get big in Japan."</HTML>

<HTML>Just thought I'd mention that I'm a fan of dark chocolate too. I am still in mourning over the fact that the Thorntons' Chocolate Mousse (possibly the nicest dark chocolate, as in <i>cioccolatino</i> rather than <i>cioccolata</i>, ever created) was boojummed.

I think this problem (that is, the Fforum, not the demise of my favourite sweet) may be caused by critical weirdness overload. In which case, what we have to do is administer dried ffrog pills to the server, and then everything should be all right. Clearly just typing the phrase doesn't work; has anyone got any other ideas? :-)</HTML>

<HTML>Maybe someone should email Mr. Ff? I emailed him yesterday and got a nice response back today. So I know he's around and still checking on us.

It's worth a thought!</HTML>

<HTML>you know, he told me he'd even sign one of my cats if I brought it along to a book signing, but that I'd have to check with the bookstore first!</HTML>

<HTML>?Question? Why does windows keep telling me that my information sent may be seen by others? Surely that's the whole point of the fforum?</HTML>

<HTML>your security level got changed...you're using MS Exploder, I mean <i>Explorer</I>, right? You should be able to change that in your internet settings.</HTML>
