Re: A Tale of two letters (4.00 / 2)
The only way I've found to reproduce that error message is when "Everything" is selected in that topic box:

Why there's an "Everything" that doesn't count as a topic is truly beyond me ;)

Good detective work and possibly the reason.  At some point I wondered what that selection box was for and may have clicked on it - although I don't recall seeing those options and certainly don't recall selecting one.  This looks like redundant functionality at the moment, although presumable would come in handy if we ever had separate diary streams for different languages or topics.

PS - if that is the case it surprises me that putting "Ireland" into the poll box appeared to solve the problem.

Probably it sprangf back to "Diary" upon re-load, and putting "Ireland" into the poll box did nothing.

At any rathe, "Everything" seems to be a SCOOP sectioning feature unused on ET, so I simply deleted it from the topics.

should prevent the problem re-occurring so.  Thanks.

Ireland has a magic of its own?
