Pruned Stuff? Private boards?

[madbilly]

Hi mods/admins

Today when I logged in I can see a new section at the top of the main page called "Private Boards" and a topic called "PRUNED STUFF?" When I click it I don't have the permission to view. I presume me seeing at all this is a forum software/config error.

Cheers

Well done Billy. You win the competition for two free passes to the Castle Combe festival commemorating the 30th Anniversary of the Elan launch and 20th Anniversary of LEC. This prize also allows the lucky winner to purchase† commemorative coffee mugs, tea cups, pint glasses and any other tat the Clemo comes up with between now and then.

In truth, you've stumbled across a load of posts from circa 2003 that appear to have been inadvertently moved rather than (as John_W keeps claiming) auto-pruned. They're in a holding are pending further investigations.

† Purchase in the singular is excluded.

Great!
Does that mean we get all the Mountain Chip development threads back as well as lots of other goodies?
(You can retain most of Dico & Monty’s drivel in room 101, though.)

Great! I've been wondering why I hadn't seen inaccessible posts in the search function for a while!

Not while there's walls to paint you won't.

I would have won this auspicious prize about a day and a half before madbjlly but my NEW TOPIC icon has disappeared Has anyone seen it ? Or have I been subjected to a "JohnW autopruning"

[John_W]

I can’t post new topics either. I think they’re trying to tell us something.

[Rambo]

Maybe we've been cast off by England, not surprisingly, seeing as the poison dwarf has been stirring her cauldron again

Hubble, bubble, toil and trouble
Fire burn and cauldron bubble ....

I'm sure that Signor Geoffos will sort us out

Pruned stuff = brilliant.

Well done that man, we owe you yet another pint.

p.s. posting is working fine for me

[John_W]

Posting is OK. It’s just the New Topic button that’s gone.

Might be something to do with the GPS Week Number Rollover that’s been going on. I thought it just meant nobody won last week so you get twice as much GPS this week, but yesterday my Range Rover satnav told me I was driving in the North Sea so I’ve just been sorting out the posh totty in the dashboard and all seems fine now.

She didn’t have the New Topic button though.

My map and compass are still working.

The dopey tart on the VW satnav is having a bit of a huff and giving me the silent treatment....... 512 miles of travel with only Angie talking......... (but we got to Centre Parcs without getting lost 'cos I still have a 1996 AA Road Atlas of Europe (which will continue to work until October 31st now, apparently).

[John_W]

The main function of satnavs is to avoid marital disharmony, so if they start giving you the silent treatment as well there’s no benefit. I spent a while delving into “hidden” menu options and there’s one that let me recalibrate by telling her where she was on the map and what direction she was going. Have a look at yours.

And I’m surprised the revised date isn’t November 31st.
