Hi BH
Yes I saw where the alerts come out. I had most ticked so got lots of alerts so difficult to find a particular one.
I really only rely on emails. So my main point was that merging a thread looses it for me. I am just doing my nightly trawl through new posts in the forum and there was one that had disappeared, presumably merged with another. But how do I find where that has gone? Can't be bothered to investigate too long. I think that the "tough luck" screen you get should have a reason why it's gone and a link to where it is.
My point is that if I ask a question and the thread is quickly merged with an old one, then the only people that will see it are anyone tracking the old thread.
Does that make sense?
BH - this is not a big deal for me, just asking.
PS - my car was absolutely covered in muck after several weeks of bad weather and me being sick + bad weather. Lovely sunny day today and gave it a good clean - I feel very righteous and pleased with myself, and the car looks great. So glad my wife pushed me to brill red. (Had to clean hers as well to justify the time!!)
