—devadutta @ 15:53

Dear People,

AutoRaja will be back on his normal schedule starting Nov 28th. This means that questions posted before 25th will be closed that day and new questions will be kept open for 3 days.

The current arrangement of “random modding when we get time” is not working. At all.

Please post answers on questions you need to by Nov 28th.

If in case you miss out on posting an answer, please mail us at [email protected] and we will work with you.

Thanks
