I don't know if you follow the same practice as elsewhere on CIS in that threads are sometimes retitled and moved to reflect their true contents but I certainly wish you did. I don't come onto the forum very frequently but I just downloaded a thread re 3DS books in Europe. The vast majority of this thread of 28 messages had nothing to do with the title and was effectively a private chat about some obscure hardware. Now, it's not the end of the world but I am a little irritated at paying connect and phone charges to get a load of stuff that wasn't what it purported to be. I fully accept the dangers of identifying stuff by brief titles and being wrong – but this was exceptional and really needed sysop action. If you don't reroute threads could you at least consider doing so in future? Phil
