Hi Geoff

When I am preparing new articles for IceInSpace, the bottom of each article has a "discuss this article" link. In order to complete the article and link to the right thread, I create a "placeholder" thread so that I can create the correct link in the article.

Once all the articles are uploaded, I then edit the "placeholder" threads to have the correct title and content.

So really, all it means is that there's new articles on the way :)

They should be uploaded in the next few days.

The "-nt" just means "no text" so you don't need to click on it to see that there's nothing in it :)

Cheers for that, have wondered the same thing a few times.
LOL, I came up with the theory the '-nt' must have been a switch of sorts for the forum server to hide the thread content and not allow a reply until you had finished any editing and were ready to go 'live' etc... :rolleyes: lol
