Yes - then scroll down to the additional screenshots.
That is the same link as Becky's post.

---I think that some of the links are flooded. That means several click on it by different people caused it to flood. Later it will be okay. Just wait a bit.

Hi smile

I can't use the first link either - but I am using IE7 yes

AND something else ....

Yesterday I replied to a post by flotsam where he gave the two versions of the final ratings - but I can't find that thread anywhere now woozy

Has it been deleted or replaced or something ??

EDIT : FOUND IT NOW !!

Cheers.

Very strange. The link still pops up without any trouble for me. headscratch

Has anyone had trouble accessing the page directly? (Page number 13 in "The return of the List - 2007 game recommendations"?)

Hi TLC -- with the new forum software, it's possible to custom-set the number of posts per page that you want displayed -- so that ultimately the page number totals might be different for you than for me.

I thought I was working with the default, but I could be wrong!

I meant the page with the results on it, which for me is Page 13, but for others may be different. frown

cry Thanks for all work Becky. The list is interesting but sad. I shall now go drown my gloom in coffee and far too many doughnuts. No one, besides me, seemed to really like either URU or Drowned God.

I fear my wife is correct. I'm a fountain-pen guy in Bic world. sad

Just tried again- even tried opening up firefox- cause I usually use IE7 and I get the same error with both. ?

Perhaps someone would copy and pm me the list- so I could read it??

Just a thought - those that are having problems clicking on the first link of Becky's post: What is your default number of pages to show in a thread page?
Is it the default - 15 posts per thread?

MaG, since the first day Becky posted this topic, I could see her first link.

My default number of pages is 20.

And right now I can't get that link????

Chief

Just played with the numbers: at 15, could get the link. Back to 20: no link. Back again to 15: can get the link bravo

That is the problem - the link was to page 13 and if the number of page preference is not the default - the program will have difficulty finding page 13 because page 13 does not exist to those non-default page # preference.

I will edit that first link.

I have my topics per page set to 25. I only had 8 pages in the original thread instead of 13 like Becky said. The link has never worked for me, I always got that database error message.

Thanks Flotsam! praise I'm a little surprised that 80 Days didn't fair better, but there are many games in the list that I have not played.

Someday I'll have to see what I've been missing. thumbsup

Thanks Becky! bravo
