Comes through loud and clear here- great thanks, so now it’s easier to tailor the Home Page to our needs. 🙂
One thing cropped up, the dialog when activating the forum post Link (before B-QUOTE) is white, so now some of the text is blanked out. Not critical, but on the to-do list. 🙂

Mad feedback lifted from Teams:

Interesting ending directed to the farms, it could lead into a parody of Animal Farm with Rock Farm as an alternative title. Maybe there’s a lava thief, or a rival rock faction, or a coming cataclysm which will hurtle the poor rocks out in orbit of a dying sun.
Yarn to make the rocks yawn for.
Rolls disembarked or disenfranchised? There’s a possibility of a rival clan on the other side of the planet. Who might they be? Could be the Rolls! It’s going to be the Rocks versus the Rolls in a no limits Rock and Roll rollout of the planets greatest rockup!
And the heroes of the pandas could be none other that popular team of five- the Bam-Fu Pandas? Some proficiency in the ancient art of Bam-fu required to haul those unruly rocks and rolls in order, no doubt.

Over here we have Rocklea Road.

An idea that might even lead to the exposition of a Big Rock Candy Mountains theme in verse!

Oh, the buzzin’ of the bees in the cigarette trees
The soda water fountain
Where the lemonade springs and the bluebird sings
In that Big Rock Candy Mountain.

Oh yes, ran chkdsk last month, and the ST1000DM003-1CH162 passed with flying colours! 🙂
From memory, this is the first error as such, there have been bootups to blank screens (no errors) in the past, so it’s good idea to backup, like voting, early and often. 😛

You know, this PC is itself a relic. Turned it on and got a Disk Read Error, Ctrl-Alt-Del to reboot, which didn’t work. Then tried later, and it’s as if nothing bad happened.
So, for the Seagate drive, downloaded the legacy SeaTools, because, you know, everything here is kind of legacy now. But there you go, the program wouldn’t initialise because it couldn’t get past the “USB: Scanning for supported drives”. Silly bods included an exe.config xml file with SHOW_USB as True, flipping it to False in an editor would never make the compiled exe change its evil ways unfortunately. 😛
So, ran SeaTools ver 5, hey, this is so much better. Ran a quick test, with a pass. Might run the extended tests, however the feeling is it’s more like a component of the controller not getting enough power on cold start. There’s no test for that in SeaTools as such – looks like the tech isn’t here yet.

The Home Page still has the dark text, but some of the jump link elements are okay. Not sure how to go with it yet, a specialised template might work,- once it’s fixed perhaps apply the template to the Blog Page. 🙂
Edit: It just grokked, we’ll want the element ids for the CSS, is all.

Yes, from Virgin Interactive (Prince of Persia, Earthworm Jim, Resident Evil, Flight Unlimited)!
Played it back then, it was pretty good. Now, there’s the re-issue, just extract the files into a directory like C:\Guest and run. If that doesn’t work, try it from Old Games, for extra options try it with an MS-DOS conf file and run it through PrgLnch.

The folks at Discord can’t help as it is a not an O365 issue as such. So now, submitted it as an idea to the portal. Here’s hoping someone there will be interested. 🙂

Sharktopus; and the never to be released spinoff: Jabberjaw Grows a Tentacle. (wouldn’t be technically correct since octopuses only have arms. But hey, it’s SliFi right?)
Cheap set looks spiffing enough, looks like you are starting a collection, how about a dice bath bomb?
The ozemail email address is finally downstream, took ages to change it in existing accounts, what with Google’s password management clunky at best, and weird setups at the places holding the account. The most annoying thing was the import not working as it should. 🙁

[DeVaultSetter]

Not quite a relic yet, the UPS purchased for the downstairs PC is getting on in years, and doing rather well. As for the place it came from, not so. Turns out they went belly up the very year the unit was purchased, and all of 5 years to learn of the plight of Warehouse1. 😛

[DeVaultSetter]

Ah yes, thanks, do have an account with the old SysInternals, but what happened to the old forums?

[DeVaultSetter]

Zelda is getting better all the time it seems. Over here the ABC State Channel runs a weekly game review show mainly for kiddies, but adult kiddies like yours truly get a buzz out of it as well. This is their review of it – not region blocked over there at all?

Honestly, it’s looking more and more like the game of the decade, what a shame they aren’t going to have a port for other platforms.

[DeVaultSetter]

All looks terrific here. 🙂
Sounds good, a blog would work as well, is it necessary to create more pages for that?

[DeVaultSetter]

How odd, if it does happen again, troubleshoot the server-side cache by shooting a PM over here so the site cache can be cleared. Else it could be something awry with the client-side caching, an area which isn’t currently under focus (yet).

[DeVaultSetter]

Looks fine here, not sure about the mobile though – would it change at all if the transparency was decreased/increased? Test as much as you like.
Think bbp-topic-admin-links is the edit | move | split … above each post, the pagination is presumably the page numbers of the threads, and the login links for other folks new to the forum. Found them in bbpress.css. 🙂

[DeVaultSetter]

My goodness, that’s going back a bit again. Those kinds of movies are the spookiest of all, the PuppetMaster movies feature prominently on the Horror Movies with Dolls list.
They used to play the made for television Trilogy of Terror on late night TV, here’s the promo:

Recommended! 🙂
They are repeating Robot Wars on FTA again, it was kind of fun while it lasted, the problem ultimately ended up as sponsorship, what respectable and trusted corporation is ever going to fund a .5 ton mean mechanoid of mayhem?

[DeVaultSetter]

Lovely! For the phone, the white can come with just a hint of either yellow gold or orange gold instead? Hmmm, if not, retouching the transparency parameters?
There’s a few BBPress links:

bbp-admin-links
bbp-topic-admin-links
bbp-pagination-links
bbp-login-links

For the colours of hyperlinks, or visited hyperlinks in the posts, is this guide any good?

Love scones! Apricot might make for a good flavour combination:
The recipe also suggests a lower protein flour – very good idea!
Called my neighbours up to collect a bunch of ripe/ning persimmons I harvested 10 days ago. They suggested the best recipe was persimmon muffins. Yum! They kindly brought some plum jam and pickles, which I know for a fact will be excellent. 🙂

[DeVaultSetter]

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. 🙂

[DeVaultSetter]

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?

[DeVaultSetter]

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.
