I'm afraid it isn't fixed for the instance I'm looking at Mark. I tried all the reloads, with <ctrl>, to no avail so when I shut down last night I allowed ccleaner to do a full clear-out of cache and

Hi Mark, Owners and Mods have an optional check-box to send a message as a Special Notice and Hashtags also have a Special check-box that uses the term 'special notice'. Any use of these though shows

This discussion keeps going in the various threads and there seems no easy answer. Whatever, and appreciating that Mark has to make ends meet, it seems GIO is no longer the preferred home for many

Yes, it is. On the feed, I see Jan 19, 2021 00:05 This is the hashtag event #reminder (linked of course)I have 24 hour time chosen, in case that makes any difference. Thanks, Duane

Dan, Possibly this could be implemented by adding an item to the More menu: "Resend this Topic as a Special Notice". There are a couple of potential gotcha's in that implementation. First is the

Hi Duane, Is this the Shal's Test 'This is the hashtag test #reminder' event? I logged in as you and it appears as 02:05am in the feed, which matches the event itself. If that's the event, are you
