Just a quick point about the TH forum as seen from the homepage. Sometimes it is listed as 'Private' and sometimes the last thread posted in can be seen as normal. I suspect that this happens when the latest post is in the 'Confidential' subforum.

There's probably a hack or a setting that can fix this, I would have thought. Ni real need to have the whole of TH appear private is there?

I only noticed because I have been following the recent drama (I should really get a life, I know) and my first thought, when I saw it go private, was "ooh, they've made it private without telling anyone." Then it changed back and I went, "ooh, they've changed it back, good for them." Then it happened a few more times, after which I formed my current hypothesis. :)

...yes, I definitely need to get one of those 'life' things...

Yes, if the most recent post is in the confidential subforum, you'll see "Private" listed as the most recent post in the index. I don't think there's a way to change this, but I'll add it to my list of stuff to research.

Yeah, IIDB always had the same problem (such as it is), and it was never fixed, so I suspect it would be a difficult hack.

I think that's it -- not a bug, actually, but just showing the most recently updated sub-forum.

Not technically a bug, no... but this forum is for bug reports and enhancement requests. :)
