    Looks the same as every other development to me, red boxes too close together.

    Trouble is, I don’t think. Well, that’s Mrs Lex’s frequent complaint.

    It was Munro Biker who put me on to but I didn’t believe it was true at first and assumed he was an imposter.

    So, it wasn’t deliberate then?

    Mine was, after I noticed yours.

    I assume everything’s working on your ipad Drac? 😉

    No need for a screenshot- my user name has been changed, not by me, from munrobiker to Munro Biker.

    Maybe it’s a system for marking out those north of the border?

    Hmm very strange, it must be a north of the border issue.. I did notice I’d been logged out again.

    But even I’ve lost my capitals..

    I might change it back. It feels weird.

    Que?

    Maybe I’m too close to the border for the algorithms to pick it up and capitalise me.

    It’s maybe a ruse to flush out the real Fred.

    Hmm… I don’t appear to be able to edit

    Edit: OK, can now. Odd.

    Is this capital punishment?

    I’ve been decapitalised again😧

    Against my will.

    It looks like you can now edit your username. I think this will be like the good old days where if you had a sensitive issue you could just change your name to “anon”.

    I’ve also had my new capitals stolen from me 🙁

    Maybe it’s all in response to someone complaining on the orange alpine story yesterday that capitalisation negatively effects readability.

    Right, an explanation.

    We’ve been testing a new version of the site for a couple of days, which I’ll talk about in more detail when it goes live. STW applied the upgrade earlier today but something went tits up* during the migration. As a result, rather than displaying usernames the forum started displaying the “name” field you can edit on your profile. Hence “munrobiker” became “Munroe Biker” and so forth. When the problem was spotted (there were a couple of other glitches too) the site was immediately rolled back to the previous version.

    Tom believes he now knows where the migration went wrong – there was a chunk of code which didn’t copy across completely – so pending a few more tests he’ll likely try again presently.

    (* – apologies for using the technical term here)

    A new version?

    You mean it’s here? It’s finally 2016?

    Yay!
