Anyone else having issues with the forum in terms of the order of threads, the bolding (or not) of threads that do or don’t have new posts you haven’t read etc?

Doing my head in!

Yeah happens to me occasionally, but if it’s above a bolded thread I just assume it’s been posted on & have a look!

I listen to it for Rory Delargy in the main, and you're right, it's the guests usually that make it a worthwhile listen, unless it's Aidan O'Brien which tends to be a masterclass in deflection and saying nothing.....

Rory usually explains his methods well enough that I feel like I'm being educated at the same time.

It was at its very best when Kevin Blake was a regular but ever since he went to Betfair podcast (which is a decent listen) it’s gone downhill for me. Agree on Rory Delargy who is excellent and I enjoy listening to him, but I think ultimately the length of the pods also is a major turn off for me now too, averaging about 2 hours…

The last pod I saw was 3 hours and 12 minutes - I just don’t have the time for all of that.

final furlong podcast has its jumpers to follow with Paul Ferguson...I've not got much time for emmitt but his guest are usually pretty good (when he allows them to speak)

I'm listening for the first time in ages and just creasing up at the award silences when Paul isn't sure if the weird soliloquy is over and its his turn to speak yet

I feel bad cos it was a big part I'm developing my knowledge of racing, and those Blake, Delargy, Keenan days were halcyon but its garbage now. Just listening to a geezer ramble on, saying things that make me doubt his sanity.

It even starts "the final Furlong podcast.....with EMETT KENNEDY!!!!" - ah good, the guy who spent the whole year saying Envoi Allen was going to the arkle, brilliant

I know what you mean and I listen to both, for me the Betfair one is too short and they rifle through the cards at breakneck speed, I'm not going to bet on every single race so the FF podcast works better for me as they take more time to discuss, albeit that usually means Emmett talks more shite too.

I laugh at my own jokes but not got anything on Emmett.....

Any The Bosses Oscar fans should be worried as Emmett is on his bandwagon as well

Missing the divisional threads all told - the individual threads all suddenly melting my mind (cos I'm stupid)

Same here! Frying my head! Very time consuming, but suppose like anything will take time to get used too!

Agreed,..Way too many taking a battering, when there isnt even a runner to talk about in most of them yet

Shows how exciting its getting.

Calm heads required

Has anyone else had a problem when pressing quote to reply to a message and then the site stops working, usually have to go back in a few times before it lets me reply to the quote ?

I'm not, I've cleared the cache though that might help

I've never had that problem...



Might make a technical issue thread for people to have a moan so it's easier to ignore all in one place

If you are having an issue with anything, tag me in so it alerts me or I might miss things... not that I can solve them all, but I don't want to miss anything

Cheers

Cheers kev, it's only been doing it the last couple of days and not every time so it could well be a problem at my end but thought it was worth asking !

Has anyone managed to successfully cash out a Cheltenham antepost bet with Hills?

Cash out no longer appears for any of my bets so no opportunity to check

I don't believe it's available or ever has been.
