miSt - I can't believe I "miSt" that!!

I was sure that the poll was closed - I know that voting will bring it back to the top. But after your reply I double checked and found that it was in fact still open. I can only assume one of our newer members was trawling back through pages and pages of old threads and polls. Thank you for putting my mind at rest. My only excuse it that I must've been tired ;-)

This was really turning me paranoid - a previous incarnation of our forum (before we became vB users) was a proprietary message board hosted by a site with awful tech support and very buggy forum software. We used to be prone to all sorts of things like this (duplicated threads, deleted threads etc) and we in fact christened the problem the "phorum phantom". vB has behaved faultlessly since we moved but I was terrified we were going back to the bad old days.

*memo to self* - double check EVERYTHING before bothering you wonderful people :-)
