No, but problems do stir up when it goes out of sync too badly. I've seen cases where even forum posts get out of order from it.

Also Hunch you may want to remind Romano to accept my request on there if you want me to have the ability to do so. :lol:

I remember making this suggestion but I don't quite remember the answer, I guess I should ask again.

Out of order posts are a different issue caused by having multiple servers with offset clocks under a load balancer. Here, all that can happen is for all posting times to be saved with the same offset.

Question for any UK folk here. Does anyone have any experience in dealing with imports? As some of you guys may know, I've been interested in the Prime 3 Figma, and I'm considering taking the plunge. I don't have any experience in dealing with imports however, so if any guys from the UK know how things work, I'd be grateful for advice.

I'm not really sure how it works myself, but you have to be careful with customs charges. I remember buying a shirt online from America and when it arrived I had to pay £13 on customs, though for some reason I've never had to pay for customs on anything else I've bought outside the EU

Maybe this will help:

From personal experience, I once bought Castlevania: Bloodlines off of Amazon.com (US) and had to pay 20€ to the delivery woman before I could get my hands on the package. I'm not sure how it is in the UK though.

Hmm, I did a bit of further reading, it looks like we've got some information about items bought from abroad: https://www.gov.uk/goods-sent-from-abroad/overview

Thing I'm curious about now, do I need to worry about filling in forms? Or would the declaration be done by the courier service?

I think Hood needs to edit it so that it matches Reese or even includes Reese heads instead of hunchman heads!

Hmm, that's actually not a bad idea. :o

Though maybe it'll make for something amusing.

I know, right?

During that time, you really could tell which posts were Hunchman's. 8)

Maybe we could ask him to use them for Record Day this year. :mrgreen:

I must say, that looks cool!

Funny how they were created when I was like 5 years old (?)

Wonder if you could create a script which appends those banners automatically to the post submission box? That'd keep the pace going.

Not if he creates an extension that auto injects the code into his posts.

Though honestly that doesn't matter because he's too damn slow at posting on Record Day for it to cause any sort of effect. :lol:

Not if you implement an "Add a banner to your posts automatically" feature to the forum. :mryellow:
