Yeah...and I went oos last week, deadheaded to the yard (not a big deal)....to find out that mine had been updated by satellite. I knew that workflow and copilot were showing on the unit, but workflow wasnt working. They had to do something in the office and now Im on workflow.

If its showing up on the last page of the home screens (where the games are), I would suggest a phone call to Matt before you spend money getting to the yard.

I see that your post was edited. I did not use my moderator status to dig anything up. For one thing, once a post has been edited, the edited text cannot be dug up or otherwise resurrected once the edit has been posted. Text edits are not logged or preserved in any way, only entire posts and threads that have been deleted are logged. For another, I would not, and never have, dug up and posted anything that someone has deleted, with the exception of one instance where the poster specifically asked that I "un-delete" a post of theirs which they deleted had mistakenly deleted.

In this case, all I did was click "Reply With Quote" and replied to what was quoted. Obviously, I clicked before you posted your edit, because it quotes whatever is on the server. So I thank you to not accuse me of something that I could not possibly have done, that no one could have done.

I edited the post within 3 minutes of posting. You did not reply for an hour and a half. So something doesn't add up.

I would think if it did something after ninety minutes it would still do it now which it is not.

Well I think we are beating this horse a bit much. We had sent out announcements and messages that the fleet needed to come through to get the change done. My staff did not push to get it done as quickly as I would have liked, and a part of the fleet made no effort on their end. As well some were purposely advising the shop that they were holding out on purpose. If the end we had to put a get it done date on this project to get it done and get everyone on the same platform or it would simply have dragged on forever. I did not mean or intend to cause such a stir.

Now my second point is.......hmmmmm all loads don't lead to Taylor????? YEAH!!!!!!

I'm a slow typer. Sorry. Sheesh! I also had unexpected company in the middle of typing the reply, so I walked away from the keyboard for more than an hour. We visited, and also had something to eat. You wanna know what I ate?

I've told you exactly what happened, and what I did. I've also made it quite clear that it's impossible for me or anyone else to resurrect edited text as you have charged me with doing. So you can believe me, or continue to think I'm lying about it. At this point I really don't care. All I know is that I didn't do anything wrong, abuse my position in any way, or say anything that isn't one hundred percent true and factual. All I did was click "Reply With Quote" and replied to it. If you have a problem with what got quoted, then your problem is with what was posted to be quoted, and not with who quoted it. If you didn't want it quoted, you should have been quicker on the editing draw, I guess.

Well, that's what you get for thinking with partial information used to reach a conclusion.

Here's the scenario: I post something at 16:00:00. It's there for all the world to see. At 16:00:05 someone refreshes the forums and reads what I just posted. They click "Reply With Quote" at 16:00:30 and begin typing in a reply. At 16:00:35 I go back and click "Edit Post" and start editing the text. Meanwhile, they are still merrily typing in their reply to the original, unedited text. They have no idea that I'm editing my text.

I finish my edits and click "Save Changes" at 16:00:50. Meanwhile, the other person has yet to finish and post their reply.

Finally, at 16:01:00, or or 16:30:00, or 23:32:00, it doesn't matter, they post their reply, and the time-stamp on their reply will be when they posted it, when they clicked on "Submit Reply" and not when they clicked on "Reply With Quote".

I've seen it happen, I've had it done to me, and like in this case, I've done it to others. It drives me crazy to post something, and then immediately see a typo that makes me look like a doofus, immediately go in and edit the text, post the edit, only to find out that in those 15 or 30 seconds it took me to post the edit that someone has already quoted the original, typo included. It happens.

Yes, you did. And it's true, they don't, which is why I was so taken aback with, and slightly annoyed by (and it is slightly, not majorly) the 10 day deadline to get this now suddenly, urgent and mandatory upgrade done.

Like I said, if I had been asked to get it done sooner, it would have been done sooner. I knew that it was available to be done, during the testing phase, but I never knew it was supposed to have been done by everybody. I wasn't invited to do any testing. The very first time I read or heard that it actually needed to be done was on the 13th, and only then because I read others talking about getting a QC message about it. I never received that message. Delivery failed. I don't see any other QC messages about it over the last 2 or 3 months, either. I had to look online to see it, and the only reason I looked there is because someone said everyone got a QC message about it. That's only the second time ever I've looked at QC messages online.

If you look at my QC messages online you'll see the NMC Error: Message Rejected/Timed Out in bold bold red letters for MSG 1263374.

Looking back through old QC messages online I came across another message that failed delivery, one that I did not receive (MSG 1233066). Coincidentally, it's the same message about the Sept 30 deadline. That message was sent, but not received, on August 30th. Seems to be a problem with resending failed messages.

I see lots and lots of messages about call volumes and paper logs, tho.

In retrospect, maybe the desire to have everyone get this done by the end of September should have been added to the weekly paper logs reminders starting 2 or 3 months ago. They always seem to get through. Food for thought on future deadline of this nature. :D
