    Something odd this morning, as lots "announcement" threads are showing at the top of my "latest posts" page.

    Most of them are showing as closed.

    They range in date from 24th April 2023 back to 3rd August 2021.

    They appear to be just those for the boards I subscribe to.

    They don't disappear when read (or re-read)

    they are cluttering up the new post feed, as there is almost a whole page of them.



    ETA - I've managed to get rid of them (for now?) all by dismissing them, one by one.  Lets see if they come back again!!
    How's it going, AKA, Nutwatch? - rolling 12 month spends to date = 2.85% of current retirement "pot" (as at end October 2026)

    Just about the whole forum is 11th April now.

    Never associate with idiots on their own level, because, being an intelligent man, you'll try to deal with them on their level - and on their level they'll beat you every time.

    Being hated by idiots is the price you pay for not being one of them.

    it started happening again this morning
  • This thread was started in November 2021, so 18 months this has been going on and despite what anyone says there hasn't been a permanent solution. Surely it's about time something was done.
    If you go down to the woods today you better not go alone.

    I used to work in the software industry. If a bug like this was left unfixed for this length of time I would have been fired. 
    Come on MSE some serious ar** kicking required.

    Yes indeed this thread is 18 months old, but the previous thread reporting exactly the same issue was started four months before that.

    Not just software industry, for most business sectors this would not be acceptable.
