Solution to WHAT?

Try repeating the (repeatable) procedure explained in first post, the result is still:

"Go to unread posts" used to work for a few hours, before it got broken again.

This happens a lot on engines, just before jamming irreparably, they tend to rev very well/provide more power, in italian it is called in jargon "il canto del cigno", i.e. "the swan song":

In Germany it's called: "the silent before the storm". But i've heared swan song too.

Naah, we have that as well, "la quiete prima della tempesta" (calm before the storm) but it's different, the engine before jamming actually has a peak of power, nothing "calm" or "silent" at it.
If you think about it there is nothing calm or silent in a (supposedly mute) swan suddenly starting singing beautifully before his death.

AFAIK Schwanengesang is used in German too, though most probably limited to the universally accepted meaning of "last action of a career" before retirement or oblivion.

We'll we're all Europeans. Now we've established that,

What's next.

@ Wonko
P.S can you or anyone move my misplaced post ?

Is this conversation like the Weird Quote Thingy? When you Google anything on Reboot at the moment ?

Bis morgen fruh

I said, i heared it too. It's just not that common in the context, it is used in italian.

Maybe PSC has different experiences. He lives on the other end of Germany.

Maybe It's a new evolutionary process and we are resistive to change ?
By the way TRK solved my earlier problem, just thought i'd sneak that in the wrong thread,

schöner abend

[MedEvil]

Just in case you care.

It would be more correct to say: "Guten Abend"(good evening) as a greeting or "Ich wünsche noch einen schönen Abend."(Have a nice evening.[I wish you furthermore a nice evening]) as a farewell.

"Schöner Abend" would be a statement, like "It's a nice evening."
