I think it was an automatically generated post when Ian added the news item on the front page... not sure what went wrong though.

dodecahedron:

did you notice that even with the Admin access, we can't remove that thread?

At one point, we were able to automatically have a news post show up in the forum. Later versions of phpBB eventually broke this. When posting yesterday's news, I clicked on this by mistake and it created that empty post. I'm guessing that Socheat can go in and manually delete it from the database but just ignore it for now.

Moderator Control Panel (the You can moderate this forum link at the bottom-right of the page). there you can check-mark each individual topic and then take some action, one of which is delete.

i was sure it wasn't gonna work since that's what i thought spaz had tried.
