Are the posted questions getting worse?

    I am having trouble thinking straight on this one, could someone else jump in here and help. It isn't collation, it is the dateformat.

    I jumped in on this one.

    Thanks Jack. Looking forward to this week ending, next week is a two day work week, then I'm off until January 4, 2010. Kassondra is coming home for Christmas, comes in on Sunday and stays through New Years Day. Looking forward to seeing her!

    I hope y'all will have a great Xmas, eh. 🙂

    I'm off for 2 weeks after Friday. Heading back to Canada for Xmas with my family.

    I may have to start a new "thread" next year: "Are the poster in The Thread getting worse?"

    You guys are NUTS!!!

    :w00t:

    p.s. It's nice to know I have such good company. :hehe:

    It's almost as if we're thinking, "Now that we've hit 1000 pages, what's next?" As they say in business and the stock market, we are in a consolidation phase as we work all the craziness out after this new "high" and go back to normal, complaining about bad posts which will exist for a long time.

    Glad your daughter will be home fro the holidays. We have friends whose son is in Navy Seal training. He is back for the holidays as well and I know it means a lot to his folks.

    Hope you have a good vacation as well. Wish I was taking one. Feeling a bit burned out right now. Really have been since the Summit. Learned a ton of good stuff and don't get to implement it all.

    You and me both. I'm probably working right through the holidays on a combination of work and studies.

    Probably people trying to solve things before they take off for vacations, or trying to wrap up projects before end-of-year deadlines.

    Finals week is the most likely candidate...

  • Does anybody see a broken image in place of their avatars or images here at SSC?

    About half of the Avatars show a broken image icon in lieu of my pic, and I was curious if it was affecting anybody else.

  • Jason, I see nothing but nothing under your name or my name, but I do see a few others' avatars.

    Edited to add:

    I just updated my avatar and now it shows. Try reloading yours.

    On the last couple of pages on the Thread it's only you and Alvin. Everyone else has the picture. They migrated to new servers last night so that could be a lingering issue from the migration.

  • Looks like it may be time for a new one already.
