Just testing summat, safe to ignore this pointless message, checking if a reply to the top head post on a thread stays in the middle of the thread or goes, where it should, to the end of the thread.... see here for logic: https://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Discussions-Feedback/Forum-development-amp-bugs-updates/m-p/1629118/hi...

Looks like it has gone to the end of the thread, unlike my earlier "Thanks" which has slotted in above an earlier message further up this thread.

Well, didn't have much confidence in some (most) of these answers and seems to have been right!

Thanks @Mi-Amigo and well done everyone.

Cheers @Mi-Amigo you have been an absolute star and I can't thank you enough for all the effort you put into making the WRQ possible, especially to do it twice a week on top of other games too! I hope to see you again at some point and cheers to all the other community members for welcoming me with open arms.
