Captain Colonial Posted September 24, 2012 Author Share Posted September 24, 2012 Thanks Norman, nice to be back. As I anticipated, all didn't go well and my life will be extremely complicated for a while, but one can't choose one's relatives - and if one could, I certainly wouldn't have chosen mine. Still, my father's wishes were followed, so that's good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norman Verona Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Scott, I know exactly what you mean. Best thing is not to get to annoyed and laugh it off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Colonial Posted October 3, 2012 Author Share Posted October 3, 2012 Ah yes, but as per the OP, only one guess allowed - but you can alter your original guess until the thread is locked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norman Verona Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Scott, will it be possible to link the millionth post to the individual post? Just being curious. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Colonial Posted October 18, 2012 Author Share Posted October 18, 2012 Hmmmm...don't know. That's a setting that, if it exists, is going to be buried somewhere deep in the bowels of the boardroom. I'll have a look - I may be some time.

Captain Colonial Posted October 18, 2012 Author Share Posted October 18, 2012 Can't see anything I'm afraid Norman, but I am a pleb compared to Tigger and webmaster. There is a device in there for creating a "Hook" which might do the trick, but way beyond my capabilities - you could try and beg those two to set one up for the 1,000,000th post, but no guarantees, not qualified to say whether or not it's possible.

Norman Verona Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 No, no problem, it was just idle curiosity. The system would need to stamp each post with a sequential number. I can't think why anyone would want that so guess it doesn't do it. More important is if the system counter is date and time stamped. If not how will we know what time the millionth post took place. The date is easy, there's enough people watching it, (or will be) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The excitement level should be quite high, and with you keeping an eagle eye on things, I doubt anyone will let the moment pass. Plus with only just over 6,000 posts before the guesses are locked and hidden, the odds of it being directly and equally between two guesses is pretty extreme.

Norman Verona Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 So, we have to watch it. Better be during the day then, 'cause I'm not staying up all night to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
