Ted, One other thing I noticed was that the Gen Gassing forum says the last post on the "Horseplay" thread was 20:50 yesterday, but if I open the thread the last thread is 13:07. I think I've had something similar before, is it an "undocumented enhancement" or a check to see if we're awake.

It's where I've deleted a post. It doesn't update the time to that of the previous post. btw - that one was probably a bit overzealous, sorry about that. Changes/breakages this morning are as a result of the work I had to do into the early hours this morning. Our little invasion by bikers was getting silly with me chasing one of them around the site deleting as he posted. I now have a mechanism to deal with offenders

When do you get time to eat / sleep / have a life, Ted? (Don't get me wrong - I'm grateful for all the hard work you put into PistonHeads)

I do sleep - hence the lack of news on the site today! It can be a bit of a challenge at times. Worth it though. It's quite exciting to have created this monster from nowt.

Just for the record and seeing as I'm possible the most vocal Biker & Griff driver along with being very active on the Horsey thing it was FA to do with me and I don't know anything about the little invasion or who it was !!

Touchy touchy I did think of posting up where they came from but thought that might just end in carnage on both bulletin boards!

Continuing the whilst I'm at it bit... Apart from previewing posts, are there any other features that people are crying out for? I don't frequent many other bulletin boards these days so are there any gizmos that are missing that would be useful?

Better idea tell us where they came from I'll nip over to H&H and put in a farewell post saying I'm going back to .... then they get invaded with grumpy horsey types plus they'll believe it because I moaned about the horse crap and the effect on bikes so much Go on Ted go on please.

I reckon that's the ideal exit from H&H, I'm currently just posting the most politically incorrect jokes I can come up with but getting no reaction I think the "we're going now bye" idea would work perfectly.

mel, I had noticed your jokes but refrained from adding any of my own. I agree it's time to leave them in peace, not least because I saw a very disturbing article in The Sun today with lots of horsey types getting their kit off for a calendar. The mere thought of it sends shivers down my spine..... Mind you, it might be worth asking if any of them posed for the pictures and see what reaction that gets

You're probably not far wrong ! Trust me, if you'd seen the pictures you'd have difficulty differentiating between the rider and the ridden in at least one of them....
