Socoder -> Off Topic -> Topic to test Post Deleting

OK, theoretically, this should work!

But if you'd like to be sure, this is the topic to do it in!

Feel free to add and delete posts.



But keep in mind that it keeps a record of all deleted posts!

It didn't delete. Also, in the "Had a Virus" topic, your deleted post means that the topic remains "unread", so there always appears to be new posts.

Bah, forgot to globalise the UserNumber..
OK, try again now, should delete..
If not, I'll keep tweaking!

Okay, it worked. But... a new post, then deleting it, leads again to the new posts/delete issue. (i.e. refresh a few times, while viewing this topic, and notice that it never appears read)

Bah, had to nip into work..

PayPoint people were coming to shove a PayPoint Terminal in at the shop, so off I went for PayPoint Training.. Got there, waited half an hour for them to turn up, then spent half an hour waiting for the silly PayPoint Machine to download it's updates.. About 15 minutes in, PayPoint Engineers rang the shop to say the machine wasn't connecting, at which point we all realised the Phone line was knackered, and spent even more time playing "Ring-the-line" over and over to see if it worked..
It didn't.

Waste of 2 hours!

Fixed, and then tweaked so it no longer shows up unread topics if you're the last poster.

Yup.

2 hours pay for 2 hours doing bugger-all.

Sounds a bit like Ethan from CAD.

It's really good. I once spent about three days almost solid (sleeping) reading the entire archive. People thought I was going crazy, because I didn't stop giggling.

I tried it, it works, yay.
for my theme you can use the same icon as the one for deleting comments.

What if this were not a hypothetical question?

Oh yeah!
Sorry, the rest of the X.gifs were X's, so by the time I got to yours, I figured that would be, too!


I've changed it on my PC, so it'll auto update next time I log into the FTP.

ok

what are you using for ftp, btw?
Wed, 01 Nov 2006, 15:47
Jayenkai
Core FTP, setup to "Overwrite if New File" whenever I drag the directory across, so that anything changed/new since the last update gets auto uploaded.
