What is Placeholder 1-nt

[Lismore Bloke (Paul)]

Locked posts by iceman with the above title have been appearing regularly.
Am I the only one wondering what they are????

No, you're not the only one wondering. People have asked before

As the title suggests, they're placeholders for me for when I upload articles to the IceInSpace website. In the articles, I link back to a forum thread for discussions. At the time of writing the article, I need to know the forum thread id - so I have to create a placeholder thread which I link to in the article.

Then, when the article goes live, I edit the thread to have the proper title and body.

You'll notice that the one I created in general chat this morning has now been modified as the article (40th Anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon Landing) has now been published

Cheers

A great article can almost be lost in the noise...
Wouldn't you want to post it at the top?
I'll shut up now.

When someone replies to it, it'll be back at the top
