They fixed it yesterday it seems. one such thread (The no campfires) I posted in finally being able to read the original post.. YESTERDAY. then today I see it has "Crossed the maintenance threshold" in the words of the moderator (That's a quote. not a comment).. as for a comment.. Suspect he speaks the truth. But at least I have nothing more for that thread.
There is another thread I was also able to read.. at last.. Yesterday.. No comment don't even recall the subject line It is in a forum I will read in a few minutes so I do not know if open or closed. But there are no other closed threads on my new messages list.
