Mine still reads as I quoted above, and I see no questions and answers, only examples. Still says follow-up is an acceptable alternative. Also, account preference trumps BOS, and I have accounts for which the expectation is follow-up.

stats page ?
Subject: stats page ?
Maybe I'm senile or something, but until the new PP began, I would look up stats as "current month," which worked fine. Now when I try to enter the last 2-3 days, I always end up adjusting one of the dates. Even more frustrating is selecting "16th to end of month," and it brings up November!
I could swear that sometime in the past I figured this out. It's petty but annoying.
Thanks!

and if you read the entire page and look for her name - there are about a half dozen of her or his questions, if not more, where people help her or him and never once get a THANK YOU......
Do you really think I want to help her/him? Nope. I won't help the ungracious, the ones with lack of manners. I won't waste my time.
And I know what you say about the admin/moderators here - they are THE BEST!!! It's just that we probably are on here more often than they might be available to.
So, we become the eyes/ears, etc., like helpers
