    Just looked at the post of the day a minute ago and it has only been thanked once. Is that a glitch or an error on my behalf that I can't see the rest?

    Yeah, something's obviously wrong if Húrin has POTD.

    Possibly because its a new day and there's no thankeez floating around yet?

    It's the -6 bug again.

    Seems to be an 'undocumented feature' of Vb.

    1 Thanks?
    The Front Page begs to differ.

    I think you're just jealous of this man's thankability.

    EDIT: Damn you SteveC!

    But, I thought POTD was random.
    Is it not?

    Well technically it isn't random. Computers can't do random, they make a pretty good attempt at imitating it though.

    I'm not the one confusing you. You are in fact the one confusing you by the way you interpret the things I say.

    Apologies, I didn't check the actual number.

    The problem has been seen before a couple of times and it manifested itself as &hFFFFFFFA = -6 or 4294967290.

    The previous number may have been coincidence but it does seem like it's being caused by a negative signed 32 bit number being displayed as unsigned.
