Taily, if you really believed in democracy, there would be another option: "only tricycle-equipped moderators should be allowed"...

Obviously some jealous person from some far distant land.

IF it was an Aussie, it would read ''Do Ozmates KNOW they're the centre of the aviation universe?''

I thought if it was an Aussie, then nothing would've happened until a kiwi or South African turned up to do the hard work...

What part of claiming the dole while sitting on Bondi beach is hard work?

The ones around Bondi are the 2nd generation, they are too dumb to come back to NZ, but too smart to claim aussie citizenship...

Why break a sweat when you can get the lower class to do it for you?

Besides if you can find a Kiwi who works and a South African who needs too (they always have short arms and deep pockets) then take a photo!

Nah, they're just not silly enough to get on a jet flown by Kiwis across the ditch (Not too many other options these days) and are waiting for a good day to swim

Are there any other threads you would like locked just because you don't like them?

You hang on to what's left of the grey matter AS,

You aren't subject to any intentional mind games - it's a long running, very long running, tech problem we have with date stamps and, we think, PPRuNe being spread across multiple servers. That's about as much as we do know and it's gone on for years.

One of the most vociferous complainants behind the scenes is your own Taillie and the system appears to have picked on him for special treatment in the last few days. Essentially the time stamps and recent posts data appears to have a life of it's own and your mod is presently under the finest sedation Australia's vintners can offer.

About this time I'd offer the usual promise that normal service will be resumed as soon as possible - but that would be a lie. Techs are baffled and have got this filed away in the far too difficult drawer. We're having a good flare up with this problem so I'll lift the tarpaulin around the back of the privvy and give the somnambulent tech gods a good poke with the stick again.

Thank you Rob, I certainly NEED to hang on to what I have left.

So it is tail wheel causing all the trouble, stirring the Yanks.

I can see where the times may not line up sometimes, on one post I looked up the other night the time would have been correct IF you were where the new owners of the site are in California.

However this business where the time logged for a post in the list of threads goes forward, not once but several times and makes it appear in the list of threads as a NEW post, but the time ON the actual thread does NOT change, is way beyond me.

Best regards,

David.

I am shutting down the Polls in Dunnunda Forum as there is some indication the Polls are related to our time/date stamp problem.

If you are interested in the Poll results and incase we lose the results when I close the Poll:

No. Votes 24. 0.13%
Definitely Not! (Spelling corrected. Thanks Howard...). Votes 19. 0.10%
The Mods are kind, gentle, understanding and do a great job! Votes 11,541. 62.71%
Should Kiwis have their own forum - on another web site? Votes 6803. 36.96%
Do Ozmates really think they're the centre of the aviation universe? Votes 17. 0.09%

You'd almost think someone was manipulating the results!

Could be.

However I just noticed, if you look at the times of the last two posts ON this thread, they are now way out.

Both of our recent replies/posts are timed way before the one from PPRuNe Towers.

The times ON the threads were okay before, it was ONLY the times on the list of threads.

Okay, how weird is this now.

That post I just made shows I posted it some 17 hours ago, Californian time.

YET while composing this under ''topic review'' it has the correct local time.

Can someone PLEASE EXPLAIN that?

Excuse me posting again, however someone just posted to the other thread that has (had) a poll, so I checked it.

His (her) post also has the wrong time on it, so I checked all the threads with recent posts, and guess what, the 2 with polls are the only ones with the wrong times.

So it IS something to do with the polls, but what is still wrong?
