Thank you for reporting it.
I moved this to it's own
thread because
... the old thread is only ABOUT how to contact Paul
... and this is so important the best way to get the right people to see it is to start a new thread.
I wouldn't doubt there's something hinky going on today. We're in the middle of fixing some stuff. Give us a few hours and we'll see if we can make it go happy again.
In the meantime, when you say "recent topics" what is the URL you are looking at?
