That was a partial quote from Bugs Bunny who always should've took a left turn at Albuquerque.

No, it's pretty much perfect. Too far away for most to want to visit and big enough that you don't run in to people all the time.

Well @Chris-Maunder is going to have to resurrect that particular thread and give me the link so it works. Reckon I had that Sig for over 12 years.

Do Nordic military ships have barcodes so when they return to port, they can Scandinavian?

Sounds like my greyhounds. 'Greyhound gas' is lethal. We give them scoops of yogurt with every meal, and that helps keep it to the merely abominable level.

I think it would be nifty if the daily newsletter had links in each news item to go to the forum discussion thread for that news item. It would encourage more discussion about the news items, and it's kind of inconvenient to go to the forum and find the thread for it "manually". I'm often curious what fellow CodeProjecters are saying about the news items or I want to say something about it myself but the friction involved in getting to the thread often dissuades me from doing it in the morning.
Thoughts?

Ah...makes sense. Is there a way for admins to move this thread or should I repost it?

I agree. I would rather that the link takes me to the forum first and then I could decide if I want to read the target link (offsite).
|
|
|
|
|
As an option - OK
As the actual (only) target, or as the default? No.
By and large, one should read the article before one comments on it!

I'm not suggesting it should be the default when you click the title of the article, I meant that there should be a link somewhere for the discussion, i.e. next to the source line perhaps, or a little discussion icon next to the title that goes to the forum or whatever.

What you wish, by the way, is typically at the bottom of the page: one or two items that are based specifically upon CP content.

I don't really understand what you are getting at. What I would like is that for each news item, the newsletter would have a small link, like for example a link that says "[discussion]" next to the "Source: XYZ News" line in each news item that goes to the forum discussion for that news item.
"So - link to what?" - the thread in the insider news forum for that news item.

A bit of a rant and a talk.
We have Internet via Spectrum (used to be Time-Warner).
We are getting 1.2MBPS (and less) direct to cable modem.
Communication Breakdown
I've had this happen while under Time-Warner and we never got to a resolution.
They would even send someone out. In the 10 minutes while the technician would be there we'd get 50MBPS.
It takes hours to explain that there really is a problem. All I want is a reasonable amount of the bandwidth I pay for.
It always feels like a throttling algorithm that has gone haywire.
SLA - Service Level Agreement
At what point are you paying for a service that is nothing close to what they market (commercials say 100MBPS but we consistently get about 10MBPS tops).
Has anyone ever successfully seen a resolution to this and they actually fixed the issue?
I'm about 0 for 33.

In the UK we have Virgin Media which used to be NTL providing Cable Internet access.
The same thing happened to us a couple of years back around Christmas time, speeds dropped to between 500bps to 0bps .
They couldn't fix the issue despite sending three different engineers at 1 week intervals. The problem wasn't with the modem or the local cable I suspect but in some central switching location somewhere.
In the end we canceled it an went to a different provider.
