If you have an issue that you want to address with John, email or PM him.

Direct personal experience has led me to personally think it is 'not worth' emailing or PM'ing him. That's just my own opinion based on my own experience so no flames please. Some months ago I did use the contact details provided for him about something; I never received a reply. After a week or so just in case I did re-send. But I never received any reply or acknowledgment, ever. So... I don't think a PM would get me - or the others experiencing this (i.e. anyone & everyone who uses the boards) anywhere.

He rarely reads through all the threads.

I can understand and expect that. But I can tell you he is logged in very often; just not at the same times as most people login (I'm in a different timezone so am sometimes on at different times to most members, and so see this). Also, I chose the thread subject line I did so it was descriptive.

Like Brandon said, John is a busy guy and doesn't spend his life here on GC.

That's why I said he would be able to look at it and deal with it in his own good time. But if it isn't brought up he may not know about it.

Also,what you're requesting may be a much bigger deal that it appears to "fix", and to do that would likely require GC to be down for some period of time.

I don't run a forum but I did see the apparent fix, according to the developers, involved only cutting one line of code (supplied) and posting in another line (also supplied). Whether it is as easy as that or not he would be able to tell.

Being that it's rush season, you may have MANY Gcers after your head if the site has to be shut down for any period of time They are addicts!

I noticed! But I'd take one for the team if it'd make the board better for everyone! And again if it is an easy fix it may not mean the board being down for any length of time, even if it is done at a time when the majority of users may be asleep.

P.S Your post wasn't flame-y at all so this isn't directed at you. But I do seem to get a general sense [from the thread as a whole] of blind fury (well not quite) at me for - commenting on something I've noticed then asking if anyone else has too and then asking whether it might be looked into if and when whomever's responsibility it would be to look into it gets a chance. I still can't see that as especially bad
