Greetings and

to all who have added replies here !!

also for the generous gifts of reps folks.
(I only just wish I could be able again to give some out - I really miss doing that.)
@Blackhatterguy:
I hope you weren't offended by having your share mirrored into a GET thread - and if that did offend you in any way I do apologize to you.
(After being around here long enough I have noticed that folks tend to see the GET threads more than the REQ ones - hence this thread.
Also, your original share was a bunch of little bits so I made a single, whole share of it into an AIO so that folks could get it all at once.)
To those who have pointed fingers at my browser=>
1 - Lala has confirmed that this has also affected her and that the admins are notified;
2 - My normal browser is doing everything - and yes, I mean
EVERYTHING else,
everywhere else to perfection;
3 - I have tested this with 5 different iterations of FF and FF-based browsers that are otherwise 100% fine - and they all have the same failure, and;
4 - ONLY HERE.
Also - just FYI - none of my FF browsers are the chrome-ized (lobotomized) ones as I find that way of doing things to be unacceptable.
Lastly - but certainly NOT leastly - Hi Layna and
for replying !!
I tend to attribute the changes in forum behaviours to the degenerations being caused by too many folks relying on TXT-speak and (anti-)social medias these days, such that they have been forgetting how to relate directly with others anymore...it is very sad though IMO, no matter what the cause.
As to forums failing - speaking as a bone-fide OLD GUY who actually enjoyed BBSes in the dinosaur days of DOS and 300 baud acoustic modems...
I have seen many forums come and go.
Most that failed dramatically did so due to some things that I have
NOT seen here:
Extreme nastiness on the parts of their mods - micromanagement driving users away - and a very sad confusion of the mods of such failed places leading to 'mod' instead being spelled g-o-d.
IMO the mods here are very, very good to the users and do ONLY what is needed with politeness and a very light touch - which is all very good IMO.
My gratefulness goes out to ALL the good folks here who actually DO participate !!
To the other ~100+ folks who did the grab and go thing Layna described...well, I say:
Speak up youngsters - ah cain't hear y'all !!
