Are you making sure to enter something into the normal post window aswell as doing the options in the poll tab?

Yes she’s been ahead since last year

It's not far off, Deb was main cast for 1758 episodes, and Georgie is at 1720 episodes.

Fixed

Around 120 new episode summaries for 1990 have been uploaded to the site over the past week, with only a handful more to go before that season is complete. Continued thanks to RR1 and Jeremai who've been quietly beavering away in the background to help fill in numerous gaps in numerous seasons! Also thanks to cadyctslover who provided summaries for Episodes 565, 570, 572 and 573.

In a normal year, 230.

I've switched your Messenger back on from my end. Not everything goes over to the slimmed down mobile theme, so that's obviously one of them.

Try Account and see if Messages is in there. It's different on phones to on computers.

If you click on your name at the top right of the forum to bring up the dropdown menu, you should see Messages. Click on that and it will ask if you want to re-enable it.

See You Around by Mark Seymour ?

Though to mirror the discussion from another thread, they did tend to get a little sloppy with keeping the small country town feel in general when it comes to framing shots - this school for example was bang in the middle of a high-tech industrial area, and there'd often be big fancy buildings visible in the background during scenes on the footy field etc. which would never be in Summer Bay. Example below: The same happened to an extent with Collaroy, with the high-rises/built up area along the main stretch of Collaroy Beach often being visible in the background of shots (though the bait shop and diner locations were fine in themselves). It's funny, all the miles I've covered going around the Northern Beaches on Streetview (and in reality before that) whilst location hunting, I've found some nice little enclaves with modest houses which I think would look perfect if they ever wanted the old Summer Bay feel for any reason. Not so much the sparseness of 80s Kenthurst mind, but more the residential streets they used in 90s when the kids were doing paper rounds or characters were driving etc. and they used the 'cheaper' area of Palmy (an area which of course has become a bit fancier now).

Yup, it is another new one this year - pics are getting sorted for it and it’ll be a future update. That’s one I’m not sure on at the moment - it certainly wasn’t the one that’s just been uploaded, but with it only being an interior it’d be pretty difficult to track down on its own. At least only using three locations for the school in those first 20 years provided some stability of sorts... (even if they were vastly different) - in the last decade there’s been four more locations used, with another couple of random halls thrown in for good measure... ?

A major location uploaded to the site today, to add to the two existing ones: Summer Bay High (2001-2008) ...otherwise known as 'the grungy one' ? Though there was a good reason for it looking so run-down!

'I'm Still Here' by Venus II ?

The four year thing has popped up in discussion before, due to it being noted elsewhere, but whoever first mentioned/published it was wrong - Floss only ever said that it was "a couple of years back". Hence why we've always had c.1998 on our Deaths page instead of 1996.

Yes it's been escalated and confirmed by the software developers as a bug, and will be fixed in a future update—as to exactly when that will be I don't know, but the maintenance updates are fairly regular. ?

Well technically Alf and Roo were grieving at that time, but that's a discussion for a whole other thread (not one about Nev & Floss ?)

Just to say that Chris has replicated this and submitted a bug report to the support team. ?

That would seem to be the case, I can't see an option to allow users to collapse the panel if they want to.

Been busy the last couple of days and not had much chance to get on here. Looking into Sarah's problem now and updating her via her initial PM. These annoying little things can crop up following an update, but we have to keep the forum software up to date as there's often security fixes etc. Edit: Yes can definitely see the problem there but not sure what's going on, will have to pass that and dvj1208's issue onto our technical support team (i.e. Chris ?). Edit again: I've managed to fix Sarah's problem I think (I realised she wasn't using the default forum theme—we probably need to remove the others), but the personalised feed is still outstanding

There's been an update to the forum software, so all the extra emojis you're seeing are the ones provided with your device as well as the originals, which will obviously be different for each person (though there is the option of us using in-built packs again so everyone sees the same thing, which might be better). The old shortcuts weren't working initially, but just this minute seem to have started working for me If they're still not working for you then you can also use the search box that pops up with the emoji panel to find the ones you're after. Thanks for pointing out about the 'Are You Unsure' thread too, have set that to be unarchived.

Yes, we'll be 4 weeks behind as of the episode to air on 17th May

The Powers That Be - i.e. the producers/writers etc.

Done!

Once again our twice yearly character profile update is now complete, taking all current regulars up to the end of the 2017 season. https://www.backtothebay.net/characters/categories/current-australian-characters/ This also includes newly completed profiles for VJ Patterson and Kat Chapman, and a brand new profile (also complete) for Scarlett Snow. Big thanks to Red Ranger 1 again for putting all these together! (note that characters such as Ryder and Robbo did not officially become regulars until the 2018 season, therefore they will be included in the next update)
