Current recaps thread

Post by Jim Treloar »

As a new contributor to this group, I hesitate to ask a favour, but is there any way the Current Recaps thread can be produced in date order? I've just been away for a couple of weeks and am watching the (recorded) progs in order, but looking for the reports on each programme, I'm shuffling up and down till I find the right date. Laziness on my part I'm sure but it would be easier. Just reaching Neil's progs from last week, looks set for a good run.

Not that I know of (Charlie will answer this, I'm sure) because the posts that appear at the top of the forum are the ones with the most 'recent activity', so if people are still discussing a game from two weeks ago, that could be the top of the list. Try control F, that's my tip.
If you cut a gandiseeg in half, do you get two gandiseegs or two halves of a gandiseeg?

Or better still, visit the cdb (http://apterous.org/cdb) where the games are listed in order and linked to the recaps.

Edit: Oh, actually having looked, it's incomplete.

It is now.

Incidentally is there any reason that people seem to have stopped submitting their recaps to the database? It takes like 1 click from the recap writer and it's a real pain if I have to do all of them myself.

Probably because you're a poofter.

Incomplete? Yeah it was when Corby posted as well. ;)

I still do mine, sir. I think there may have been one where I hadn't, because there wasn't a Series 60 option available on the submission page at the time. I should really have gone back and done it though, rather than expecting someone else (you) to do it. Sorry.

I am submitting them as a rule - Apart from the first one of this Series when there was no Series 60 option. Sorry I didn't know how to retrospectively enter it.
