Makes you wonder...
Hi,

Wow, couldn't believe this when I saw it on the news!

http://news.bbc.co.uk/...ducation/7414585.stm

What kind of idiots do they employ to "proof" read the papers, before sending them out? Pirate I just feel for all the kids who took their exams - and will no doubt get a kick in the teeth cos of this.

Cheers

Hey Andy,


Just noticed your cool Avatar when I am NOT logged in.
Cannot see any avatars once logged in.
Any answers to this anomaly?

Mmm.. odd. You don't a Ctrl + F5 refresh? (I changed it a while ago - so not sure why it wouldn't work now :/).

Also, you looking in IE or FF? Remember in FF - if an image is dead - it just doesn't show (unlike IE, which shows the imager with a red cross)

It might be GT - because NO avatars show up once logged in Unsure

Mmm.. very odd. I see everyones fine ... very odd indeed!

Maybe worth emailing GT support, see if they can work out whats going on? (could be a weird bug Wink)

Hi,

I'd suggest contacting GT about it - I can't replicate it (tried in IE, and FF - logged in, and logged out) - and all the times it worked fine for me - how odd!

Probably because you have your user options to hide the icons?

I am moving back up North in a few months -- Perhaps I have been in ARKANSAS way to long! Crazy

Serves them right for allowing people to do "music" exams.
