Mutterings of discontent.

I have had several days of Php problems with links and also slow connection, a vibrant board can not be had when connection is rubbish.

Just so you know Comsole, obviously it's not your fault, it's something to do with me.

QED

[S4B]

Just curious but why does the front page say it's March 15th? Am I in a weird timewarp?

[Munki Bhoy]

I've had a few mySQL errors myself. A refresh seems to sort them, so it's some kind of intermittent issue.

[S4B]

Still says it's March 15th! Does that mean time is standing still?

[Console]

Where does it say March 15th? Post a screenshot.

[Console]

Oh there, that's just a static picture, it's always said that.

[TIAL]

Even a stopped calendar tells the right day once a year.

[Andy B]

Not if it's got days on it. Then it's only right once every seven years.

[Munki Bhoy]

Unless you account for leap years of course.

[S4B]

Oh there, that's just a static picture, it's always said that.

Well it shouldn't! can't you change it?

[Console]

It can be changed, but we don't have the pictures to do so. If you want to create the 26 pictures (or 43 if you want all of the numbers centred) we need to to make it dynamic, then do so and we may make the change.

[MK Chris]

What's the point, it's supposed to be an icon, not an accurate representation of the date. Does your icon for your email client change on your desktop depending on how many unread emails you've got?

[Console]

Actually, mine does that.

[MK Chris]

I might have known you'd have an answer to that...

[Zoot]

Mine does that too!

[MK Chris]

Alright, bad example. It'd still be a pointless exercise though.

[S4B]

Mine does too!

I don't think it's pointless, it, in theory, signifies the next time the show is on air!

[foot-loose]

There is far too much discussion going on about this.

We all know when the next show is going to be on. The bit under the date thing TELLS us when the next show will be on. It's a logo. Let's worry about more important things eh? Surely it's snowing somewhere?

[MK Chris]

I don't think it's pointless, it, in theory, signifies the next time the show is on air!

There's text below that does that:

Next Show: Monday at 06:30

Topher, you of all people should know how stupid some of the people are that visit this site! Surely it should help them in every way it can!

[MK Chris]

Why should extra effort be made for people who are stupid? I don't subscribe to that view at all.

[Munki Bhoy]

Can we change it to a made up date that can't possible exist then? Feb 30 maybe? It's clear it's a calendar then, and it's a made up date so it should only confuse the really, really stupid.

[Andy B]

Unless you account for leap years of course.

Nope, leap years actually aid the fact that every seven years have the same dates.. I was born on a Sunday and my 7th, 14th, 21st etc....birthdays were all on sundays too.

[Munki Bhoy]

Didn't work for me. I was born on a Wednesday and this year will be the first time it's been back on a Wednesday in 11 years. The last time it should have come around it was a leap year that caused it to jump from Tuesday to Thursday.

I'd imagine most people are the same.
