Has anyone else noticed that Policy threads now say 'Policy & Help' when you're in the thread, rather than 'Policy & Help'? I'm sure they never used to... Or am I mad?

Oh, that's bloody marvellous, that is... Okay, they don't say 'Policy & Help', they say 'Policy [ampersand]amp; Help'.

God, life's never simple.

I think it's because everything is interpreted literally, even code nonsense, ever since some bright spark decided it would be a laugh to put images in the title and thereby illustrate a security hole.

You corrected my misspelling of 'pedantry'.

Oh, my.

Sorry, both of you, but to correct the spelling of the word "pedantry" is not actually pedantry.

It's splitting hairs.

That happens when someone deletes a post instead of a thread in a thread which has only one post in it. I think.

Yeah. I'm assuming schmee realized he'd triple posted the topic and tried to eliminate two of the postings by deleting the initial post.
