Morning HQ. Because I have already done some housework and laundry this morning, and don't start work til 1pm today, I decided to while away some time reading my comments on last year's Love Island threads. I am pure class Grin.

So I advanced search my name, in the Telly Addicts topic, in a 6 week time span. The list of comments returned seems to be in an entirely random order, so I can't start at the start of thread 1 and read through to the end of thread 6 or 7 or whatever it reached.

Why is that? I would have thought they would be returned in date order or some other way that makes sense.

Hi OP

To be honest, that sounds very fun! Grin
Can we just check what device and browser you're using to access the site?

I'm using a chromebook.
