Where: On your computing device. Anything with a Zoom client. https://zoom.us/download - You probably want "Zoom Client for Meetings" or "Zoom Mobile Apps".

When: Saturday April 13 2024 @ 1700 PDT / 2000 EDT / 2130 NDT - We will likely go quite late, typically ending after 0100 PDT.

The link will be the same every week. We don't need a list, many people will be here. Just add your name if you want the link PM'd to you around 1630 PDT before the do.

Suggestion: Please include your forum handle (and optionally your name) when logging onto Zoom.

Please send me the same link as last week:

@canopus27, this is a problem with the vBulletin software that powers FT. It has two ways to refer to another user, the tag and the mention. Here's what one of the IB reps said recently when asked about this:

if you start typing an @ name, and select that name from the list of username options that drops down. It will only work if you finish manually typing it. DO NOT USE THE DROPDOWN. The dropdown creates a "tag" which does not result in a notification. Typing out the @ username creates a "mention" which does notify the person mentioned.

Is this stupid? Yes. Will it be fixed? No. I've been round and round, and some developer thought this made sense.
@codfather did a tag and not a mention, which is why you didn't get notified.

Sad indeed, although at least we've occasionally had some fun times on the Do

There does seem to be some selective memory! I've been mentioned, forgotten, then mentioned.
Hopefully I can attend next week. Is there an 'official' anniversary do? With cocktails?

So my takeaway is that it's codfather's fault

Probably the last one of the month, since I think we started March 28 and this will be March 27.

Back to running?

I'll may be a no-show tonight due a birthday supper. I think it might be bad form if I didn't attend since I am the guest of honour.

Just in case, I did buy myself a present - some Merser rum. I will report back on that at some point.

Happy Birthday, Bohemian1!

And I have to head out around the bay tomorrow morning! Hopefully, I will be back to Sunday runs in another few weeks when this lockdown ends.

I briefly joined the Do again at around 6:30 NST. You weren’t there!

Absolute lie! There were still at least 4 of us there at that time. I signed off just before making that post, ~60 minutes after you supposedly joined.

Not a lie. Your camera was off and you were muted.
