    Well the thread title is 'Highlighted posts from Wednesday 14th July'

    I am assuming that it refers to July 2021, which incidentally is not even half way through here in the UK. so how can a post submitted on 19 April 2012 be considered as being a highlight submitted on a certain day in 2021.

    Perhaps I'm misreading the purpose of the title or the title needs adjusting to reflect the intentions of the poster, to represent posts that he found interesting on a particular Wednesday, but as always I stand to be corrected

    I can see your logic Ivan , maybe someone has used that elastic date line to confuse the issue ? JS
    Mind I’ve just come home from playing bingo and was a total loss this week so life in general is a bit blurry JS

    To try and clarify!

    Nick our Tech (and a damn good one at that) started the Highlighted Posts, so as to add posts which he thought were good and which were either started or Replied to by anyone , thus the inclusion of an old Thread
    So it is not only the actual Weeks Threads included ,as one can see if you look at most of them, they are mostly old Threads! It may of course be a wee bit confusing!

    Hope this will sort it our Ivan!
    Cheers
