I am posting this here instead of on the small talk forum as it is IMHO rather important

Did anybody else here have a problem with corfid last Saturday??
I did for most of the day
It may well have been my computer but I did nothing untoward honest
I assumed it was because Florian was tinkering with the forum's program(me).
But after I enlisted Char's help to contact the man he promptly denied doing anything and suggested it was a problem with my
computer's cookies but I had not touched them (in this house I am banned from sampling cookies of any description!!
I actually had three problems:-
1. I had not logged out for a long time but when I tried to be rude yet again to that insufferable fool down in Sydney it curtly said I couldn't as I was not logged in.Then when I did log in it conspired to simultaneously thank me for logging in whilst still claiming that I was not logged in. Had I not made a screenshot at the time I would have asumed I was going mad..
Oh do shut up Steve!! this is the
EVIDENCE:-

In case it was because the profile/membership database gubbins had got corrupted I decided to try to register under a different name but after four times completing the registration form accurately and as far as I was concerned completely it then told me to go and boil my head comprehensively because as you can see it warned me:-
2."you must provide values for all required fields including your preferences:-
PROOF:-

I had just done exactly that albeit leaving a very few options that I did not want unchecked.
So I checked every sodden box but no matter what I did it steadfastly refused to register me
3.I was able to read the various topics but I could not help noticing that all the actual posting dates and times were missing.
Again a screenshot as proof of my sanity
Belt up you stoopid Sydney parasite!!
EXAMPLE:-

John Fowles
Eventually faults 1 and 3 became corrected
but fault 2 I just rechecked is still there
Florian please check else we will not get any new registrants!!
Now tell me did anyone else see this??
