      Indeed, awesome actually! 🙂
      Something going on with the Facebook account over here – probably hack of the email address. It isn’t easy to determine via Google what methods are exactly constituent to Facebook security, no doubt they have hived it off to a lo-cost OEM. One capable of capturing hack events very much on statistical inference.
      (A fun alternative could be a brightly themed, chatty, free-for-all open source Github project: FakeSec, with the Issues tab replaced with Tissues, and the Security tab replaced with Jokes & Humour. Might turn a few eyebrows! 😛 )

        Certainly, love to have an image – those instructions were from our “arch nemesis” WordPress.com though, there’s better ones at wpbeginner, or this for the css way. 🙂
        Huh, the forum selectors do not lend themselves to an odd setup alone, rather, an odd & even affair- what could possibly be the rationale for that?

          Seeing this is also a Sounds topic, how about the sound of the Large Hadron Collider?

            Yes, the Goondocks, hey that’s – we’re in it. (Aside: Probably a good thing with own water as it is getting expensive around the city up north.)
            Well, a “quality” creature feature – see what you mean – a popular one here on FTA that came close was Rampage.
            Oh, you mean the 2021 version? The 1982 version doesn’t rate well compared to Sleepaway Camp, for instance.
            Almost completed the first season of Wayward Pines – working well for me though it’s not quite classic grade.
            The state FTA are screening the Documentary Now shows, wow, the “DRONEZ: The Hunt for El Chingon” episode is actually quite alarming as they release footage indicating the sudden demise of journalists at the hands of drug thugs.
            Another one relates the story of The Blue Jean Committee “Catalina Breeze“.
            The channel is also flooding us with more Armisen, this time, Portlandia. Fast paced, punchy comedy routines, which strikes out in all directions, so making it quite unique. There’s of whiff of Seinfeld, The Goodies, Goons, and even The Big Bang Theory (detracts for me – not being a fan).
            Pity it had to end though. 🙁

              Reading about ejector seats in planes, and naturally the question arose as to were there any accidental touches on the ejector seat button. Turns out there was, in Vietnam apparently, amazing how the plane later survived the landing on autopilot.
              The literary circles over here have been abuzz with controversy over plagiarism, this by John Hughes. Taking a passage like that out of The Great Gatsby with such modifications is running very close to the edge IMOP.

                You know, Alan Partridge has a poetical streak:

                Reading them again? Must be good! When very young, read a lot of the William Books, and enjoyed them so much that read some of them again. Didn’t know there was a TV series made though.
                Yeah, more threads, especially one for games!

                  Thanks! Have a link to it? Might come in handy if we decide to use it- right now the chief reservation being that it might put something else off kilter – if for no other reason than some unintended consequence of our dear old friend, Murphy, and his Law. 😛

                    The arcane workings of BBPress #indexing! For further confusance, your post in another topic directly follows the above. :/

                      Cleared up as of today, their policy of response with 72 hours of issue lodgement worked out well this time. 🙂

                        Wow, using UBlock Origin, is there a free version available?
                        Okay, submitted an enquiry, odds are they will probably tell us what we already know in any case. 🙂

                          Thanks will get to it. It’s got a lot of features at any rate, looks like Robin put a bit of effort into it. 🙂

                            Thanks, that lets me into to Entra
                            https://entra.microsoft.com/#settings/directory?Microsoft_AAD_IAM_legacyAADRedirect=true
                            Cannot switch to Office, as Blanko has no subscriptions for me, and this switcher is unavailable. .
                            Also tried managing my own Authentication methods in
                            https://entra.microsoft.com/#view/Microsoft_AAD_IAM/AuthenticationMethodsMenuBlade/~/PasswordProtection?Microsoft_AAD_IAM_legacyAADRedirect=true
                            Most of the items either produce useless stuff or this error:

                            Session ID: 1923a0d898af4a07b2f5458171a653ba

                            Error code: 403

                            No dice, sorry about that, it’s fine to be turned off.
                            The only hope then, is to somehow acquire an O365 subscription for Blanko, I can email Quadri again, – although the issue is closed, he may know a trick. Or the folks at Discord. This is not over!

                              You could hire a model and take some – ahem – mag snaps – might be best done in a studio though. 😛
                              Oh, absolutely no problem with subs, just hanker for the human interaction, and the expressions on the faces of other customers when I go in to ask questions re MAD ETA. 😛
                              Who’s Action?
                              Currently streaming Wayward Pines, it’s rather good. Never realised it’s from as far back as 2015 though. What really curled the eyebrows was the link to Bloody Disgusting in that article about the trailer crashing in. What is really bloody disgusting is the number of spooky video box ads crawling all over the site. 🙁

                                Turns out it is high on their priority list, no milestone yet.
                                There is this, which requires Javascript which isn’t enabled at this time.

                                  Here’s piffle for sniffle! Light the fuse of the imagination and go with Rocky the Invincible! And yes, even our own HeyWire accepts entries, I just have to tell ’em I’m 16 going on 65! Meh, a bit past the old prime, and without bridle, saddle or spur it’s horses off courses, not running around in circles, but round in squares, blindfolded through mazes or frantically in all directions!
                                  Lovely, look after the teeth especially, you will be rewarded later.
                                  Yeah, all they had here was Phantom, used to like reading them, once had Phantom no. #32.

                                  Silly me, got a hefty parking fine, decided to take it to court, a bad decision as there is so much work to do for it. Pleading guilty, so consequently asking for leniency, but will any be given?

                                    Good one, yeah copy the whole lot, the sooner the better, as once we have the conversations tarball, it’ll be a great relief over here in removing NodeJs, PS7, and all the other things changed in this system in preparation to running the export script. And then finally uninstalling MS Teams, which will probably have to be done anyway, as it is now unsupported.

                                    The original plan of removing the mfa default temporarily so login can commence while we run the script, then turning off the default in real time can be really quick and easy. What about ten minutes? Have searched extensively, turning up nothing indicating any rational reason of why things would fail when toggling a default setting. But I do understand you are extremely sensitive about the possibilities of a BSOD or similar when doing something a Microsoft program does not recommend, even though their recommendation is to install their ridiculous 50mb Authenticator app which doesn’t work, and wears out the mobile battery whenever it does decide to work.

                                    As another alternative, doing things the longer way again, is it worth asking them if we can eradicate all traces of a user once he has left Teams? The idea is to log into Blanko, with the 30 day mfa limit renewed. We tried it before, as you know, without success, perhaps a critical step was missed?

                                    If these don’t suit, then it’s important to identify whatever is spooking our reasoning and rationale for the use of these workarounds. But hey, we all knew MS were never going to make their content exportable at the outset, because they knew of the coming slow dance of death around a certain class of disgruntled users, all banging against the Gates of coming Oblivion. 😛

                                      Thanks for the update. Certainly worth raising at WP then.

                                        The guys at discord are still hanging for my login. They are really nice and helpful, so we don’t want to end up as a bad taste in their mouths. Should I offer a sweetener as some kind of stopgap until D-Day?

                                          Goodness gracious, it’s quite big. Is it going to be consigned to the garage?
                                          Were you there to catch the tennis balls with a racquet – so the neighbours don’t freak, why not get it to blow bubbles?
                                          On free to air, they seem to be in a bit of a time warp with the ads, some have been going on for at least a decade. 😛
                                          Cool, which reminds me, the newsagent closed, how combining the reduced magazine stand into the tobacco shop over the road. Which meant no room on the stand for MAD magazine any more. 🙁

                                            Done, although the forum pages don’t all update with the changes, so had to use the repair forum facility in Tools.
                                            Some of these smilies don’t work in BBPress, hoping there’s something lightweight handy instead.
