Yes, it gets a bit confused when thousands of ignored posts suddenly start taking up their position in the sequence again

I encountered a very weird one last night, just after I'd made the changes, where I posted to the Suez thread in General, then the front page of General said the last post was NLUK in the afternoon, but with my avatar

I fixed it by clearing vBulletin's system cache. Let me know if you continue to see any oddness and I'll do that again, but I try to avoid doing it while the place is busy, as it has the potential to put the server under a lot of strain rebuilding everything

morning all

grey
damp
dreary
Friday.
I've become a night dweller it seems, bed at 2AM, up at 10 seems to be the new normal.
still dealing with bureaucrats every day.
FFS.
the hoops to go through to dispose of a cast off husk

oh, and when i tried to post this, it included an old quote i used some days ago from DrS??

This morning's meeting ended up running for ninety minutes, and would have gone longer except most people had to leave for another one

But at least the new project manager is getting things under control. It's quite relaxing in a way, everything being so organised; quite different to many projects I've worked on.

Despite what many people say, a good PM can be very helpful. They deal with the dross and enable everyone else to get on with their jobs
