Yesterday there was thread that did some "cool tricks" with our user names. What happened to it? Don't tell me I imagined the whole thing!?! :confused:

No, you didn't imagine it. Paul had used a programming trick that made our name used in a public way. Early this morning, another member figured out what it was and started a thread that said something like. " you know "........." you are so annoying, why don't you go away."

He used that piece of code in the "......." part, which showed whoever was on, their name, and Norman stumbled on to it. It wasn't too long after that when both threads were deleted.
