      Opened up an issue in Forums for it. 🙂

        Having a look at the pages, the todo list might include an updated Privacy Policy on the front page, and a Blog page.
        Is there anything else planned for the Groups page? The future of the draft Welcome to Stearnvault! page is uncertain, as we now have StearnVault Home! 🙂

          Yes, cool! Noticed if you leave it on Visual, then submit, the Visual is saved, and you are not bounced back to Text.
          Bug though: If you inset a link in Visual mode, it’s lost on switch to Text.

          Very nice, thanks, almost tempted to slip a few coins in Robin’s money box. 🙂
          He’s also got a nice list up for other goodies we could try. 🙂

            Truth or Consequences is about the strangest one encountered on the list:
            “Excuse me, may I buy a ticket to Truth or Consequences?” “Certainly sir, which one would it be?” “Either one.”
            For the UK game on FTA over here, Tipping Point, “I can certainly provide directions to the Tipping Point, but first you’ll have to contact Junkyard Reception!”
            Glad you did, Pratchett was a true humourist, pity he got the early onset Alzheimers with complications else there would have been a lot more to the Discworld saga for sure!
            Going through some of Mum’s books there was a Dictionary of Shorthand, think it was a Pitmans, she was once very good at it, all forgotten now. 🙁

              How strange. On the Android each post in the search results had the edit options – no edit options here on the desktop (Edge). Will try and reproduce.

                Yes! Will take a look at that.
                Another minor issue is in the search results, when clicking edit in the usual set of post options, you are taken to the post position in the topic rather than the edit dialog.

                  (Posting from Chrome on Android): similar issue when activating a post link on the Notifications item at the top right of the WP menu. Instead of scrolling or jumping to the post anchor as expected, it presents the top of the topic, so you have to manually scroll down (optionally selecting the correct page number) to locate the post identified in the notification.

                      Good idea! The site itself is starting to take on some shape, so it is sure to attract some interest. 🙂

                        In West Virginia, there is a town called Shock. The road between Surprise and Shock is sure to be a bumpy one. 😛
                        There’s also the game, have you played it? Now for sale at MobyGames, the DOS game may require a CD emulator to work (eg), and free at the Wayback Machine.

                          Certainly related, the topic post numbers are anchor points, so if restarting the browser, the recovered tab may not necessarily scroll to the anchor, particularly when another active tab just shows the same topic (no anchors – #top).

                            Anything with Leslie Nielson usually turns out well, especially before he started doing comedy. 😛 And JL Curtis’s dancing an eyecatcher!
                            Yeah, The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane is described as cross genre, noting it won a Saturn award for Horror, the mystery element also makes it definitely on the watchlist here.
                            Those others look good as well, do remember Fletch. They want to start putting some of these on the FTA channels, too, a minor setback is that their programming staff have been programmed to make us all miserable. 😛
                            Currently streaming Devils (Diavoli), it’s about fictitious events in 2011, which initially made me think the series was made around then. These eyes are not well enough trained to spot any anomalies (e.g. Dempsey ~2021 versus Dempsey ~2011) until reading the Wikipedia article at time of writing. 😛

                              Poor old Particle man! A theme for Galaxies, have you played it?
                              A cheering, yet depressing theme for a brood thread:

                                Wow, some digging. WordPress keeps BuddyPress and the rest on the treadmill with every annual release of the default theme. Hmmm, they could relax it to two years as is the case with MS and Visual Studio, it’s possible the approvals would outnumber the objections!

                                  How long have you had the mouse,- over here one which reaches EOL at five years is relic enough!
                                  Light ethyl alcohol wipes would be ok, if it’s hot I use an absorbent cloth under the wrist, and metal mousemats are easy to clean. 🙂
                                  Still backing up stuff here, once a USB stick is vacant, Linux is going on it. 🙂

                                    Who was LN2? Is he/she still around? Talking of which, the Chiki ngebul or dragon’s breath candy is all the rage!

                                    Pity it’s not safe, but what do you expect from a name like dragon’s breath?
                                    Bit of a cold snap over here, so the fire is definitely alive and – firing!
                                    As with the above, most of my nursery requirements have been local, else it’s a quick visit over to Daley’s, great service, and as tends to be the case these days, most of the really good gets are on backorder. 🙁

                                      🙂 It’s a beauty!
                                      Although the Australian cicada provides a different template for sound, would it ever make it on the Marvel or DC stage? A question which no doubt can deliberated over the following background calls.

                                        Yes it’s a bit of a steep learning curve over here with diagnosing such things with the Edge Tools, so nicely caught!
                                        A shade of grey between the active tab colour and the background colour may still not reveal any text on hover, in which case a shade darker than the background colour might work. 🙂

                                          Cool! 🙂 One of these? Let me guess the colour – Farout Pink?
                                          Packs a serious punch then what with the option of even 128Gb RAM – and the GPU looks like it could handle more than two monitors – not sure how the USB-C works, but yeah. A UPS might be handy as well in dealing with impromptu power outages. The cooling should be fine, as long as the dust is minimal, and you can get in to clean the fans.
                                          What’s the paint job on the workbench again – we want nothing less than a masterpiece in oils! 🙂
                                          Yeah, he’s settled down a bit. the vet said there could have been a lot of irritation from the tube-in-mouth during the op.

                                            Any idea of the grape variety? Could be the muscadine which has many cultivars apparently.
                                            Vinegar is a really good descaler, for total clean Sodium Metabisulphite came to mind, briefly, as it’s very unpleasant to work with. It requires absence from the room while it is bubbling through the pipes after which it has to be all flushed out with water, making it totally messy and over complicated. A working video might attract a certain Youtube crowd. 😛
                                            Christmas in July perhaps? Could also be a novel way of stocking up with XMAS gear now, for the crowd pleasing effect of putting all those items on sale when the season actually arrives!
                                            Replacing a lavender planted last year which died most probably because of insufficient sunlight (it was a wet year), a Blueberry Lavender “Ruffles” has been put in a slightly sunnier position nearby. Thing is, despite it being bred for Australian (think sunny) conditions, there’s only about half a day direct sun available, the rest is filtered, so hope it’s enough.
