The Nice People No. 17

Aye, it looks like there's revolution brewing over in Arms/DT and Site Feedback has become such a bloodbath they've had to close the snagging thread because they can't keep up.  

It’s been closed so they can work through the problems that have so far been identified. This does make sense as regular users should have identified key problems by now and the thread was becoming repetitive as well as people asking how to do various things that are now being answered in a different thread.

Also, supposedly the old forum was on its knees and liable to keel over. The need for a revamp was urgent.

I do hope they solve the Apple/iPad/iPhone problems though. Using the forum at the moment is a real labour of love, not.
Actually, it’s a complete PITA, to be honest.

Edited.... like deleting, but you can no longer do that.

Yes, it varies. Dunno why.

What’s yours like in portrait? I lose functionality in portrait.

I have to say that the new forum works well for me too.  Although I had initial problems getting my password reset, I'm on an iPad and love the fact it takes me right back to where I left off on a thread.

Totally random thought. Do we get more pay for a month or a year that has a Leap Day in it.
Are we more productive in every leap year or only in those ones with an extra work day, like in 2024 rather than 2020?
Remember that each year is 52 weeks plus one day, so that gap between Leap Days is five weekdays (ie moving from Saturday this year to a Thursday in 2024)?

I expect that it depends on whether one is paid per hour or is on a simple annual salary.

I do know that nurses aren't paid for an hour longer, or an hour less, if they're doing a night shift on the night the clocks go forward/back

Might phone up about a flat tomorrow... but it's niggling me. 
It's council tax band E ... with that and the service charge it's £65/week to fork out. 
On the plus side, it's overlooking the sea.  On the down side it's actually below ground level, so you can't see it   An actual view would cost another £100-150k.

Band E for a flat? You sure that's not for the whole block?
