Guest Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 I got an email telling me this had another posting, but when I clicked on it it said the topic doesn't exist - which it clearly does. I get this quite often and I find it really annoying. Why send me a message if the thing doesn't exist? Anyway, answers would be good!

The Dogmother Posted June 14, 2007 Share Posted June 14, 2007 Ginette - I get that a lot too, when Graham was around I asked him about it and it was something (and I may be mis-remembering here) to do with whe it rolls onto another page, the link can't fidn the new page.
