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

Thanks..........looking forward to some new articles

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... lol
