Hi Alex and Mods,

What a strange carry on! I followed the pruning instructions to the letter - no problem - except that the whole of the Non-Met board got zapped; I noticed straight away but couldn't do anything about it, other than PM Alex to explain. The rest of the pruning went OK, so I'm still puzzled as to what went wrong. I'm also puzzled that Alex's PM reply to me has vanished as I write this on my laptop, yet it's still there on my phone.

Thank you for restoring things as much as you could, Alex. I now have to re-post the Oldie competition threads in Deep Drills, but we'll all have lost a certain amount of stuff, for which I can only profusely apologise.

When I do the pruning I have one final chance to check the thread titles before they disappear, but this problem has never occurred before so I just went ahead and pruned. I've been up most of the night trying to rectify things, messaging, and fretting about the situation!

I'll start a thread on each board to let the members know what has happened. If it's OK with you, Alex, I'll use part of your post, above, by way of explanation.

Happy New Year! I hope things can only get better (As Pete has to go back to work tomorrow I came downstairs to make cups of tea to take back to bed for us, and the milk had gone off, despite being still in date. The gremlins are out to get me!!!)

All the best,
Jayne

(Oops. I thought this was the Staff board! I'm so tired my brain is on slo-mo.
I suppose I don't need to post lots of other threads now everyone can see what I've written.)

Further sincere apologies, Sphereans.
