Hmmm....That was quite interesting.

[fred.]

One tries, sir. One tries.

[Techno]

Thanks for the suggestions all.
The son of one of my old friends is going to talk me through some changes (to settings ??) I can try a little later on this evening.
Apparently he's a genius with computers.
(Just hope he keeps the instructions nice and simple !) 
Cheers - Phil

Oh dear. I've always been wary of a "genius with computers".

I would strongly advice backing up everything before anyone does anything with anything. Also, if the friendly friend doesn't suggest backing up everything before they start, I would suggest having a "power cut".

I would also insist they make notes (on paper) of what they are doing so anything can be undone.

I'd be inclined to back up everything on a regular basis anyway. £50 buys you a remote hard-drive with associated software. Mine gobbles up all my data files at the start of the day without being asked. It's a cheap price for peace of mind.

Techno, old chap.

You having god like powers in the Forum, (as well as the superpower of creating magnificent 10mm figures that everybody who has an ounce of sense just loves - (Am I being subsumed into Techno's ego?) ) did the "computer expert" play with your PC yesterday? Did he/she/it look at the Forum? Could this be the reason for our change. Are we going to have to go on a road trip to find the "expert" in which after a series of hilarious adventures we discover our respect and admiration for each other and find out the solution was in our own hands after all?

I feel a script coming on. You could be played by Ian McKellern and I by George Clooney. The "expert" by Joe Pesci.

Seriously though, could your "expert" have done something?

[FierceKitty]

Mmmmmmm, that looks like a setting for a REAL game.

[Leon]

Have you two managed to get yourselves untangled yet?  I've checked all the settings on both your profiles, and can't see anything broken?

[fred.]

I think it was a very good April Fools. Well done Leon!

[Leon]

I think it was a very good April Fools.

If that's what those two were doing I'm going to kill them both!  I've spent a good half hour going through the settings on the Forum to see if there's a problem somewhere...

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

 
It was well done if it was. 
Didn't they just swap login details?

Either that, or I'll be interested to see who I end up as!

[Fenton]

Well that didn't take long

Cheers

Hell, I bought the bullet on the original Aztec hoax back in 2011!!!

Hence I've waited until until now to say 'owt!

[fred.]

Interesting. I was assuming that Leon had done a switcheroo. But perhaps Techno and FSN cooked something up themselves,,,,

If the warning didn't turn up.....OOPS !  .....Otherwise well played Leon.

Who ? .....Us ?  ......I still think you all sussed it straight away.

Thank you for the abusive email this morning, Will.  

Cheers - The real Phil. (Now I wonder if when I press 'Post' I'm going to come out as someone else for real)

*No.....apparently not.....You can reappear now fsn"
