This was originally posted in Internet Technologies forum. I moved it here as it seems the user was trying to test out the HTML capabilities of the forum.

Cheers

Hm. This is my 2 year anniversary as a GT Forum member. :-) Or at least, using this account ...

I thoroughly DON'T agree, Paul. The post clearly was a test of the forum capabilities than actually posting news, which only indirectly related to issues and concepts in the Internet Technologies forum. Thus, the post should've been posted in EITHER the Test or Chit Chat Forum.

As always, we agree to disagree! Mad

Again, mind your own business.

Hi,

Unfortunately I didn't know Wil had moved the thread to the Test forum from Internet Technologies, hence Wil's comment above:

>>(Another reason for Edit notes :-)) <<

...so your comment seemed strange as from my perspective you were asking DT to post in the Chit-Chat forum rather than the Test forum.

However the test forum is probably more appropriate which is why Wil moved the thread here I assume.

>>Again, mind your own business. <<
