  1. I would like to share an experience with you all, about drinking and

    driving. As you well know, some of us have been known to have had brushes

    with the authorities on our way home from the odd social session over the

    years.

    A couple of nights ago, I was out for a few drinks with some friends and had

    a few too many beers and some rather nice red wine. Knowing full well I may

    have been slightly over the limit, I did something I've never done before...

    I took a bus home.

    Sure enough, I passed a police roadblock but as it was a bus they waved it

    past. I arrived home safely without incident, which was a real surprise, as

    I have never driven a bus before and am not sure where I got it!

  2. OK to clarify some obvious confusion on this point :)...

    This system has always been there but like others have said very rarely used. I upgraded the site to use the latest version of the software last week and the information is presented in a slightly different way than it was before which is why it is only now becoming obvious to you. Previously the information was only presented in the profile view (Only to you and other moderators). Now it is shown alongside posts again only to you and other moderators. That is the only difference to how it has worked for many years.

    In summary it appeared where it does now because of the upgrade to the software as a whole. It was not something that was intentionally changed or added.

    If anybody has any strong feelings it is a simple matter to turn off the warning system and a poll has already been suggested if anybody feels the need.

    Can't agree with you on the publishing aspect either, I'm afraid. Beleive me if its on the Internet its published, at least potentially.

    Speaking as somebody intimately familiar with the software having written part of it myself I believe I'm qualified in stating that the information is categorically not published as 3g has mentioned already.

    I do, however, agree that showing "0 warning points" to a user with none is a little redundant and has potential to alarm those not familiar with how the system works. I will see about implementing that change for a future version.

  3. #!

    He has his phone connected to debugging software, naturally it will output the actions of the phone, keypresses etc. That's what it's supposed to do. Nowhere in that video is there any evidence of the data actually being logged on the phone or transmitted back to the carrier which is what he is implying.

  4. I've just tried to sign the Metro petition and it's closed! Had I (and hundreds of others) known about it through wider advertising, you can bet it would have been more successful.

    Subscribe to the calendar or the news feeds here and you (and hundreds of others) would have heard about those events instantaneously. The heritage day was advertised here in the news section, the journal and the news post leader as well as shop windows and through flyer distribution. Soon you'll also be able to tune into quality truly local radio. The tools are most certainly available if residents genuinely want to be notified about these events.

  5. I love tracking these down. When you can't reproduce a problem it takes much longer to identify. I have more questions unfortunately. Which browser are you using? Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari etc? and which version number?

    Can you please also try pressing ctrl+F5? That will ensure you have the latest copies of any javascript being used. It is possible you still have cached copies from the old version.

    Is anybody else having problems editing?
