No, there has never been any evidence of manipulation

How silly of me to doubt you

I'd like to know how much you are paying all these people to adjust their posting rates to allow this to happen?

I am just a superior intellectual human being able to accurately predict people's posting patterns.

Just about have then next one sown up as well.

In the OP my dumb links to their 1,000th post does not appear to be working.

What have I done wrong?

You have done nothing wrong JohnK,...

... it's just that the old bulletin board used a different format to link to a page on the forum: http://www.frequentflyer.com.au/discus/viewtopic.php?p=10187#10187 wont work, while http://www.frequentflyer.com.au/community/playground/affs-1-500th- (AFF's 1,500th member thread...sadly without a prize)member-thread-7184.html (AFF's 1,500th member thread...sadly without a prize) should.

I was referring to the latest 2 entries that NM kindly inserted for Yada Yada's and mal's 1,000 posts. These are supposed to be single post views but come up with "page not found" error. When I tested them they worked OK but now do not. Any clues?

It is because the URL's resolve without the /community/ part. If you look at the HTML source you will see that the URL has /community/../blah, the .. bit shouldn't be there.

Thanks oz_mark. I have edited again with the added "community" in the URL. Seems to work now.

I'd hate to spoil the party but it is now 6 wins in a row.

I don't know why I continue to put on guessing contests where not many guesses are submitted.

AFF's 35,000 post thread...sadly without a prize!! has been decided and the winner is serfty breaking a sequence of 6 in a row winning predictions set by JohnK.

The 35,000th post was only 81 minutes after after serfty's predicted date and time. I would a guess that this a new record on AFF for having the closest prediction.
