Hi-ho! We’re upgrading the canaries that power the Talk-o-Tron today. Nothing major, but expect some brief outages.
Edit – And we’re back! Should be a few improvements – including a new option to watch topics (the button’s at the bottom of each thread), and forum comments on a topic created from a front-page story appending to the front page comments – but do let us know in the moaning/suggestion sub-forum if you hit any problems.




This is an utter outrage, the RPS overlords should be sacked immediately for failing to provide, me, ‘the reader’ with full, and uninterrupted forum access.
I’ll be writing to my MP, the CIA and MFI!
I recommend upgrading to Gloster canaries because they have funny haircuts.
I’m thinking of suing RPS to get my money back…
Just what exactly did you do to the Canaries? Do we want to know?
The forum posts that appear on the comments thread are appearing newest first, it makes for very confusing reading :)
Thanks for the addition though, it is a good step forward. Now if you can get the comments to add back to the forum topic we’ll be done. Maybe the addition of a Comment triggers a default user “Commentator” to add a matching post with the first line: “Rei Onryou says:” or whatever to the forum post?
That’s the ultimate plan. Absolutely no bloody idea how to realise it, of course – we’re essentially dependent on upgrades to the forum software.
RPS has a forum? I never knew… LOL
