    Changing the subject slightly, presumably there's now a v4 vBulletin licence going cheap on eBay?
    My all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.

      Although administrator didn't post in TPD I've tracked down a post in one of those other threads which refers to the closure of TPD as a short term measure.

      If it had been posted in TPD, people might have known what was going on

        Changing the subject completely, RC you're a good chap but do you not think your new avatar is in questionable taste?
        Numbly tolerating the inequality as a way to achieve greater prosperity for all.

          It had not dawned on me that it might be, no.

          Should I have gone for the gold text on black stone?

            Nope.

            I normally have avatars switched off, but, on this occasion, I turned them on to see what all the fuss is about.

            Very good.

              Poll?

              I think GP's assertion is ludicrous - there is a long and honourable tradition in British visual humour of using gravestones. They turn up pretty regularly in the cartoons in Private Eye for example, and there have been innumerable examples in TV shows, such as the episode of One Foot in the Grave where a friend of Victor Meldrew surprises him with an unexpected gift - a ready-engraved headstone with the date of death left blank.

                Maybe an adornment of some kind?

                  No, it's not.

                  I can change mine back to the "lightbulb" that I had the other day if that would cheer you up.
