This will us in January

Cool! Sure wish she had an iPhone or something. They might be having an annettes right now!

JEALOUS!!!!

Indeed - she could update us all from inside Macdonalds where it's free; much like I keep threatening to do.

Unfortunately, I'm going to struggle to do this while I'm in Seattle because the time difference means that I'll be either sleeping or in my course while you're all awake and vice versa - you'll all be sleeping while I'm awake and not in my course.

I'll just have to make sure I do lots of talking to myself to catch up on everything I miss. The order will make no sense, but then again none of this thread makes sense anyway

No, I think it's just a fixed number of pages.

Caution: Yet more technical geek speak (hopefully simplified as much as possible)...

Each thread is held somewhere on the big DIS computer as a load of text. When we ask to view a thread, it is pulled from the big DIS computer and sent to our computers. Our computers then turn some bits of the text into images. What this means is that the number of images shouldn't affect the speed too much, because our computer deals with that, rather than the bid DIS computer. What does affect the speed though, is making huge threads, because it means there's a lot more text to find, which takes longer. So, the DIS computer automatically locks the threads after a certain number of pages, which I assume can be set by a moderator.

I think that's how it works anyway

Maybe Batman or Elaine could do it for us if they are around later

Lol! Awwww, brocolli bob xxx

When she gets back we should start calling her brocolli and she'll think we've gone crazy without her!

she'll probably be able to home in on the posts about food so will find the reference straight away

I'm bored.....hence my posting random images.

This is me after my Dinghy deflates

You'll have to post from over there and we'll answer in the morning.
What is the time difference?

Rob will be 8 hours behind

I think they'll probably have done it already... It happened automatically and very unexpectedly last time. We made a post, then Batman posted immediately. There's no way he could have done it by hand that accurately (275 pages exactly) or that quickly (literally straight after the previous post was added, his post appeared), so it had to be automatic.

The post was custom written though, so Batman must have set it when he knew we were getting close to that too big limit

Sorry Rob
