Re:Just in case...

Thanks Angeline, I did read Lee's post shortly after he posted it and agree with what he says. Apparently Bob Proffitt stumbled on 'new' forums and posted a comment, with Jonah making a comment, then Lee stepping in deleting their post. I was too late to read Bob & Jonah's post and after reading the other post there....just let it all pass by me.

However, I did read Ian and Steve's posts above, and for the life of me (in my experience or knowledge of computers) my eyes did not see any new forums being posted or mentioned. Therefore my query, as to me it must be something that programmers can see that I can't see. In fact I read Ian post more than once as I didn't really understand exactly what he was posting (he can be real cryptic at times), took notes on 7 different forums to later check if the number behind their title corresponded with the number of post displayed in public to see if that is what he is talking about.

Hi, John.

Suffice it to say there aren't 100 public CNet forums at the moment...

Hi, John.

Afraid we can't answer your question, as that would reveal what we're trying to keep confidential! But it's NOT the number of posts per forum that's at issue.

If the message had been up longer, I'm sure that everyone could have figured out "the secret".
