If you click on the number of posts from the main CO forum it tells you the posters and their post count.

All very important stuff. I got major kudos for bringing the power strip!

New Garmin in the bagplus1house. Would the kind person who found our Garmin please return it? Many thanks.

Only about 12 of those. Though, it could have been the same one over and over. :confused:

It was the Gogar roundabout that did it for us!

I did the weekly EWR-LAX/SFO last year. That gets boring very quickly.

I believe I'm going to end up about 1/3 of BIS of last year unless BL JR and I do some serious MRing over her breaks. I'm hoping a speedy recovery will enable me to make my Asia trip in Oct and a couple of Europe trips later this year to make MM by the end of the year. If not; things happen and really, I'll be okay with that (I figure if I say it over and over while doing deep breathing I'll be fine).

For some reason, the "P" in Plus1 gets capitalized. Perhaps Plus1 wears the :rolleyes: in teh bagfamily. :-:

You well know that you are not and it is time to farm that duty out somehow. :cool:

A voice of reason has appeared in the box. You are right, monitor. There was a special talent (?:confused:) section in the parents volunteer form. I said I traveled and would be happy to help with geography and other travel related things at school. Hmmm, no calls yet :rolleyes:

A nice quiet day tomorrow. Only work and perhaps some B:rolleyes:X duties. It's nice to be back. We missed you and the sanity that accompanies the B:rolleyes:X

you have a respectable 600+ posts in the box.

I have 4k posts in the box, 5k posts in the greatest thread ever, and I guess that leaves some 1200 relevant posts.

Greetings from AB:rolleyes:~. The bizarroness of this city never ceases to amaze me.

Glad to see CO Insider finally responded to my :rolleyes:'ing about the paid for F sat in Y. Although he acknowledged it was a known quirk (completely contradictory to what WE-:rolleyes: told me) I don't really know how I feel about his answer. I'm going to drop it, but I honestly expected more from CO than "yeah, it's a problem, but not a big problem, so it's on a list of about 2350982508234082430 things. Right below install lie-flat seats on the 737-300 fleet. So just deal with it." :rolleyes:

Oh well.

:eek::eek::eek::eek:

So I have been working my new job for almost two months and was told as I was leaving work today that I am expected to work six days a week instead of 5. Hmmmmm.... something I should have been told of when I took the job. :confused:

Here is some information which could affect this thread in the near future, if you have not already experienced it:

There seems to be no rhyme or reason as to why this happens, as it appears to occur on a completely random basis and is not repeatable from my end. Usually, after one or more attempts, I eventually gain access to those threads.

In fact, I just encountered this problem again. This is the message that I get:

Could you please look into what could be the cause of this problem?

Thank you in advance.

Thanks for reporting this Canarsie.

As I understand it, this is a known, and as yet, unresolved issue. Luckily, as you noted, it only occurs intermittently, and the issue is relegated to exceptionally long threads. vBulletin handles these long threads better than our previous bb software (with UBB we had to manually segment long threads into multiple threads), but it obviously doesn't handle them well in every case.

I've passed your report along to the IB tech team as another data point.

You mean "Divine"? I couldn't find any but two friends somehow bought 3 6-packs each.

Likely caused by how horribly hacked together vBulliten is. It's database usage is obscene and it requires heavy modification to streamline it for huge thread usage. Just some :rolleyes: we'll likely have to endure for some time.

Also, good morning, Box.

Morning Box!

If anyone is doing the MSP-GEG run on 10/24-10/25, you might want to grab a hotel in GEG as soon as possible. Two of the larger universities in Spokane are holding their parents weekend on those dates and many hotels are already fully booked.
