Anyway, as I say, what do epople think?

Ah yes. Why, on the topic list, does that list of pages display one less than the actual number of pages displayed on the messages list? Most annoying.

I'm not sure if I quite understand that one - can you explain further?

Bizarre. Hmm ok I'll fix that one later.

It happens when it goes over a certain number - I can't remember which one though.

Five is OK. Nine (ten really) is broken. I can't find any threads in between - it looks like once threads hit the critical threshold of 5 pages, they don't stop growing until they're as big as Cheddar Gorge.

From my point of view, the Playpen not only keeps some of our regular visitors happy while stopping them swamping everyone else with drivel, it's also good for pushing the limits of the forum script without breaking anything important

I did notice a tiny bug: it displayed 1,2,3...4,5,6 on the topic page.

Playpen is good, IF silly behaviour is kept there, it does seem to be spilling out far too often.

You can click on the "Unread" icon to get the to the last unread message. I've only just discovered that

FANTASTIC.

It is rather, isn't it. You can never get directly to the last page of a really long thread...

It was a good idea of Rich's (I think) to keep the rest of the forums silly-free, without being draconian, so TIB remains cool

Put it this way, we're better off for it being here than for it not existing or being put on some other special site that nobody every visits.

Yes provided we don't let the tone drop too low then ot's a good light-hearted way to

It's at the bottom.

It's called the playpen. It's fun. It allows us RISC OS types to keep a sense of humour associated with RISC OS, which god only knows we need.

It keeps me looking at TIB when news/serious forums are slow.

As for "TBH most of the stuff there shouldn't be going on anywhere" - I don't really understand that - this is the internet, there's far worse stuff on it, and besides, there's room for nearly everything. I really do think that the title "The Playpen" is very descriptive, and indeed, I bet that a lot of people who don't get our sense of humour - or, indeed, have more important things to do - steer clear of it.
