Post subject:  Absence from the forums: 5th-8th March

Just a heads up that I'm going to Italy for a few days so I may be away from the forums. Actually there's probably internet in the hotel, but I can't be sure until I get there. If not I should be back on Thursday.

Also, I'm going to delete the other posts in this thread and post a dummy one to mark it as unread. This way I keep my latest absence at the top, rather than being buried under those which don't matter anymore.

Just posting this to mark the topic as unread.

Don't forget, if you want a post to stay at the top, you can always mark it as sticky. Have a good time in Italy.

Well, I'm back.

I didn't handle this well... my logic was that I didn't want to just append on the bottom of the topic because then people had to scroll through the previous (now irrelevent) absences to get to it. So I just edited the first post and deleted the others. But then I wanted it to be marked as 'unread' (not just pushed to the top of the forum) so I added a dummy post.

Obviously I should have just started a new thread with a single message, which is what I'll do next time.
