Sorry about that. I didn't make any deliberate changes, and I doubt that Steve did.
When I tried to check our settings, I found that Bravenet.com itself was down, which probably had something to do with the forum's strange behavior. But it's back now.
(How come we could still see the Forum, you ask, when Bravenet.com was down? Because the Forums are on something called pub10.bravenet.com -- which was not down. But the settings are controlled out of Bravenet.com -- which was broken.)
The Pain in the Neck is back!!
Don't hate me Ted....it is just that I want you to be kept informed and updated!! Boy! I am such a nudge!!
I think maybe the clock may be off by an hour......it doesn't matter to me and it is no problem...but just in case you want to check it out for your own curiosity. And it also may be one of those problems that correct themselves.
I just posted a reply to the raincoat question, and I didn't get prompted to prove I'm a human. And I didn't change anything, so I don't know what happened.
Maybe it's triggered by the frequency of someone's postings? If so, it's an undocumented feature, and there's nothing I can adjust in the settings. Or, maybe it was just Bravenet's idea of a Halloween prank on you.
And Bravenet.com is down again (for example, you can't get the smilies), so I would guess that, again, it's relayted to Bravenet.com being unavailable.
