      Got the Disqus folks on chat, somehow the post was flagged as spam so it never got to the tag channels. Yet still visible. 😛
      Sam over there was very nice, he did mention the solution was pretty much down to PipDisqus, who seems to be very much the blogger go to guy – a resource we might have considered for Walrus Ramblings.
      Also mentioned it to PipDisqus, so hopefully only a few weeks before his next update. 🙂

        Yes, good references, there is sure to be at least one more of those 27 examples we can use to simplify things a bit.

        Nice! Changed the site Text font again to regular, the template we are using is the Home page template, which is a bit odd, because it’s only supposed to apply to the Home page, and not the forums. Or do the BBPRess forums follow the Home template, and not the Default? Might help to determine how BBPress uses our templates.
        Another pressing issue is the glaring white of the post header, footer, and edit bars. Is it possible to determine their ids for use in the CSS?

          Is that for your posts only? Does it apply to the last post only, or all posts in the topic? The date/time won’t change after a page refresh? Does repairing the forums in Tools change anything?
          I usually see the dates of the last posts on the forums page where they look to be reasonably consistent.

            Yes! here’s hoping they have a horror fest on FTA SBS channel over here. It’s a made-for-television film which is synonymous with don’t_have the_funds_for_Box_Office_promos, and being less of a worry for the producers, the films turn out to be better than expected.
            Wonder if they do lines on trick die, or ones with a slight bias? Good for a chuckle at the next hook-up at the community board game centre. 🙂
            Good news about the workbench, is it in the garage?

              In the final movie, were the same characters all killed off in a similar way? Hmmm, such a bloodbath would have engendered a greater hue and cry for sure!
              Reviewed the clock, kind of like it, but wanted a bit more, I guess.
              Reminiscence is on FTA tonight, might give it a miss being absolutely spooked by the reviews. Box Office Bombs aren’t my thing either. 😛

                Has the Zelda come in yet – Tears of the Kingdom is it? There are mods for it on Nexus, would those be usable for the Switch? Are these games bundled with modding kits, or is it stuff from (ex)gamedevs?

                  Yeah, could put it in an About page, or even an attribution logo on the bottom of the picture itself.
                  Before the image was implemented, did the greeny fade effect permeate through the posts a little – can’t remember. The white in these posts sure comes with a strong hospital glare.
                  One approach for colour compatibility, is to blend the background image down to almost greyscale, or soften it to a single colour. Ideally, show the original image on the welcome page- perhaps others, but the modified form on the forums.

                    Use Clipgrab for youtube, which has undergone some criticism in the past – for me it is not problematic, mind you the ~100 mb d/l size does not account for relatively simple and uncluttered user interface. Clipgrab relies on this yt-dlp, an enormous project with no other purpose but to download stuff from youtube.
                    Signed up with PlayOK around 4 or 5 years ago, where I built up passable stats and rep, and after a recent enquiry about account accessibility, the reply was:

                    Yes, this is a normal practice to remove unused accounts
                    We are not able to restore accounts that were auto-deleted

                    A better way for a site like that to avoid excessive user hair pulling, is to automate emails to recipients deemed as inactive after a time, requesting them to sign in if their desire is to hold on to the account.

                      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?

                          (What would you call a vigorous shaker for pineapple cocktails? A Pina Collider of course!)

                            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. 😛

                                      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

                                            Most of the items either produce useless stuff or this error:

                                            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!
