Thanks @Cleoriff and @MI5

I wonder if it`s a "morning glitch"? Remember I had problems - not receiving pm`s - on Thursday morning last week but then righted itself...

Re: The White Room Thursday Quiz - 06 February 2020

MI5 — Wed, 05 Feb 2020 13:45:02 GMT

Could be that unless the ; between names confused things?

No notification in e-mail here for the mention either... but a good set of questions with a couple of hum-dingers and at least 2 doozies, @Mi-Amigo.

Thanks @pgn for the info on notifications/e-mails, which I hope will be picked up and acted on when Khoros do the work on forum.

As to the questions, I like the way you describe them as "a good set of questions with a couple of hum-diners and at least 2 doozies" I`m looking forward to seeing what answers everyone gives in their pms tomorrow...
