Confusion -- Headline says feature show is JANUARY 16, 2009 -- in body of the text it says Monday JANUARY 19, 2009 ?????

For here in Europe it is good to see that on which ever day the feature show actually is the usual start time has been brought forward 1 hour to 7pm ET (Midnight GMT)

PeteK if they got the date wrong what makes you think they got the time right?

The feature show was posted on the 16th, announcing the feature show would be on the 19th. This was done in order for more of you to have the chance to see it before today.

The show is scheduled for today, January 19th from 7-8 pm ET.

Thanks! Quote

Nubia - Thank you for your response.

However I stand by my comment that the headline of your advertisment where it appeared on all VIP and non-member web pages (where it suggested they buy Credits or VIP membership to watch it) had the eye-catching headline that indicated the Feature Show would be 16th January.

I agree that what turns out to be the correct date, the 19th, was quoted in the text of the advertisment and my reason for starrting this thread but I am sure you will appreciate not all, including myself on occasions, read "the small print" of adverisments or perhaps would notice the discrepancy between the dates. To reinforce this thought, on the actual Show night, many were asking Max how long the show was despite 7pm- 8pm being specifically mentioned in all advices.

This was not just my reading of the confusing advertisment. It turned out that, by coincidence, Max was online on 16th January at the same time as that prescribed for the Show and many others were expecting that shift to be his Feature Show, not just his ordinary room.
Also on that day, the 16th, I believe the countdown of the time to the Show in the advertisments was indicating a count down for the show to start at the advertised time of 7pm ET that evening.

You mention in your response that it was "posted" (presuming you refer to the advertisment) on the 16th to give, and I quote "you", (VIP's or everybody?), chance to see it beforehand. As Feature Shows are now one of the few remaining "perks" of VIP membership would it not have been more appropriate to also "post" the thread, specifically advising us of the forthcoming Show, concurrently on the 16th in the VIP Forum?
I observe that the specific thread for the Show was actually posted only 6 hours 18 minutes before the scheduled time. I seem to recall previous forum comments indicating VIP's would appreciate specific longer notice of forthcoming Features.

Thanking you for bringing the show time forward by 1 hour to a more convenient time for us here in Europe, I trust you find my observations constructive.
