It's a pretty simple stunt actually. I won't say how to do it; forgive my parinoia but I'm on other forums where people will bump years (litterally) old threads for fun; imagining those people with *stealth* bumping ability makes me sick.

Not that I think there are any people like that here, but..

Did anyone notice the Blue Arrow pointing to the date and time on his post? I checked other threads with 0 as well as some of the other ones and I have not seen this arrow????

Could this have something to do with whatever, mischieviness or skull-drugery that is afoot?

In the thread post, the blue arrow shows as an icon for the mood and description of the topic, but I've never seen it on the date and time line on the actual post, hmmm, curious

just some ideas mac

I have my own theories on what he is up to but it upsets Growltigga when I refer to that subjet.

I am just far too easily shocked by what you get up to in your spare time

If you select the blue arrow by clicking on the radio button to the left of it, the blue arrow icon will show up on the date and time line instead of the usual thumbtack on card icon, mac. It is no different for creating a topic as for any other post. Try it yourself, mac.

Ok, test's over. Here's what I did:

After discovering/learning about ghosting, I wondered how the forum would read ghosted threads. So, I decided to do a bug test. I created the thread. The next day, I made a post and then quickly deleted it. The thread was moved to the top with the post I made, as it should have. After I deleted the post, the thread stayed in the same place, even though the date was older than Posts below it. This is a bug that could be annoyingly exploited, although I doubt that there is anyone here that would do such a thing.

And the blue arrow has absolutey nothing to do with it.

Heheh, IF, ater all the suspense I think your sig is particularly appropriate to this thread.

Love the Australia day article BTW, had me giggling like an idiot. (Is there any other way to giggle?)
