      On the forums page, just the one search is visible on the desktop – the edit box and a search button above right of the forum header bar. It’s the only one I use and the only one available. Is that the primary or secondary?
      The one on the right of the top ribbon isn’t visible to the public, unfortunately, haven’t used it much. No edit/reply options on the desktop for the search hits either, but sure to be useful down the track. 🙂
      Thanks. 🙂

        Not getting any change in the desktop over here (yet) after clearing cache, (sample).
        Robin’s fix was a while back:

        4.7.5
        2.) Added ability to add topics/replies to main site search

        Couldn’t see an option for it in Search Styling, was it somewhere else?

          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.

                  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.

                    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?

                        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. 🙁

                            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.

                              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.

                                Yep, only a very mild interest for the Amityville Horror, so one viewing was enough. It was publicized extensively though, MAD’s Calamatyville Horror was better.

                                Faintly remember seeing Piranha, will keep an eye out!
                                “Steven Spielberg called the film “the best of the Jaws ripoffs”” 🙂

                                The FTA Interview with a Vampire completed last night, it comes as a slightly different angle to the vampire mystique, apparently water isn’t so bad, and they are susceptible to (spoiler) opiates & arsenic. Still, a well told story, and could indeed be worth a second viewing – in twenty years time. 🙂

                                Portlandia skits bring back memories of MADTV, esp. anything art/food/entertainment:

                                  Problem with streaming app.
                                  To facilitate troubleshooting, here’s a wish: include in Task Manager option (or Sysinternals?) to prioritize a specific browser tab internet quota, so that other internet consuming processes are (semi) suspended. At the time of last check, there were scripts in AHK that have come close, else Nirsoft might have something – more research required!

                                    Boot is surprisingly well behaved the last few days.
                                    Now it’s this logi m350 crumbum of a despicable wireless mouse button not working. All is not lost, as someone suggests a small spray of lube on the joints:

                                    Logitech have lumped all kinds of different problems with a bunch of possible solutions. If nothing else, it saves space for extra content on their web pages. 😛

                                        Noticed in that wpbeginner link the first few user comments refer to posting in tabs which have remained “logged in” when logging out has occurred on another tab. Has that happened to you at all?
                                        Also, just as a general rule of security here, I de-activated wp-phpmyadmin as it has vulnerabilities when not used. Posted for clarification here.

                                          Got some mushroom solar lights in the garden which all need new batteries, got the batteries, now all that’s required is the time to do them. 😛
                                          🙂 Over here there’s a local-community.org hub which can double as a lost/found noticeboard. Apart from one item several years ago, there have been sporadic reports of pets (mainly dogs) going missing, and consequently found. Might be an idea for the local government to hand the baton over to the post office or even the public library to handle lost/found property matters. It’s probably been done before, and hasn’t worked. 😛
                                          Entanglement is a mystery- the distance was discovered to be over 1200km – how much can it get to?
                                          Been busy in the garden preparing for a dry season(s) ahead, along with the manual control of weeds, especially renegade blackberry growth. Fun. 🙂

                                            Did you end up seeing it? If memory serves, it was forgettable, the comics were much better – and Gerber’s Destroyer Duck was a hoot!
                                            Yeah, the grindhouse element puts a damper on any schlock comedy. what would make me giggle is the insertion of canned laughter where inappropriate. 😛
                                            Northwater was brutal, a stark reminder of how challenging life an be without the conveniences of today. No repeat viewing here.
                                            Right now, streaming Clean Sweep, it’s quite polished, so hoping there will be a second series. Not so with Wayward Pines – it kind of dragged on for too long, with a gloomier outcome than one might have expected.
