      Grease is always a problem, what was once tried here was to dip a hard med/small paintbrush into a cup containing hot water and a good squeeze of detergent concentrate, and holding the keyboard upside down, run the brush slowly around the keys. Solvents might be a bit risky. Keep keyboard upside down until dry, and clean up with a soft cloth steeped in methylated spirits.
      Still use any of the four monitors from the old system – are they all 24″. Quite like 1440X900 on the 27″, depth enough without being too wishy washy. the integrated graphics doesn’t provide much support for sizing the viewport to the screen, so back to fiddling with the monitor controls. ๐Ÿ˜›

        All things border is up to you entirely, the discussion pages present rather well at least, others may be still undergoing slow haemorrhage. ๐Ÿ™‚

          Looking so good, took a backup. ๐Ÿ™‚
          Looks like bbPress has its own CSS files in public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/assets/css and a choice of evergreen and mint in public_html/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/includes/admin/styles, both similar to, but not quite matching the WP CSS file names.
          The profile visibilities look nice as far as styles go, weโ€™ll want to check their functionality (as well as Favorites, Mentions and Export Data) at some stage.

            Here’s hoping, did the WP default Editor ever work here at any time past? There’s still no warning of data loss when closing a tab with newly typed text for a post, which works with pages from some other builds, not sure about Joomla.
            In order to view the Litespeed logs, enable it through the Debug Settings tab at the top, doesn’t look all that appetizing though. ๐Ÿ˜›

              For whatever reason, the site logo block is missing the settings to add media. Not sure why :/

              The mod pointed out on the above query that the site logo is already in Settings, the coat of arms thingy, sorry. If it’s removed, will the block re-appear in the editor, – now the pressing concern of the minute.

                Haven’t seen that one, did see the remake which, although not boasting a particularly intricate plotline, was memorable enough.
                As a consequence, many of the innocent bystanders immediately dropped to the floor and egg-spired, no doubt. ๐Ÿ˜›

                It’s easy to see what is wrong with Hollow Man, notably the wonky script and the implementation of Kevin Bacon as the mad scientist gone off the rails. Not sure if anyone else could have done better – Danny DeVito anyone?
                Every one of those RT 26 points was well earned in the action sequences including the escape out of the compound at the end, the film perhaps deserving a few more points for the supporting cast.

                They’re re-running Merlin on FTA, second viewing here as well. it’s very good, albeit slightly hamstrung by the regulation 45 minute episode limit.
                When very young, read a translation of The Arthurian legend, can’t remember a thing of course, except perhaps a notion the actual stories were different from Merlin. Main similarities and differences are touched on here, no matter though, they are all cracking good stories!

                    Playing that on Linux or Windows? As you know, Alt3rn1ty had some good tips at AFKMods, he has since moved to a better place, and they’re all now playing Starfield. ๐Ÿ˜›

                        This one sends all queries of to 404:

                        function fb_filter_query( $query, $error = true ) {
                        
                            if ( is_search() ) {
                                $query->is_search = false;
                                $query->query_vars[โ€˜sโ€™] = false;
                                $query->query[โ€˜sโ€™] = false;
                        
                                if ( $error == true )
                                    $query->is_404 = true;
                            }
                        }
                        
                        add_action( โ€˜parse_queryโ€™, โ€˜fb_filter_queryโ€™ );
                        add_filter( โ€˜get_search_formโ€™, function() { return null;} );
                        

                        Hopefully. The Google Search Results link above suggests Buddy. ๐Ÿ™‚

                          Okay, bricked the search by inserting code into bp-custom.php, give it a green light and all systems go for a topic at BuddyPress?

                            Weird, just got this back:

                            We understand the confusion, but you’ve contacted the Plugin Review Team. We are not a support team.

                            This team exists for developers to receive help with the hosting we provide for their plugins, as well as for the community to report security and guideline violations. We cannot provide general WordPress help.

                            If you need general WordPress help, you should post in the support forms: https://wordpress.org …/support/

                            Yet from the link I posted above there is:

                            If you find a plugin with a security issue, please do not post about it publicly anywhere. Even if thereโ€™s a report filed on one of the official security tracking sites, bringing more awareness to the security issue tends to increase people being hacked, and rarely speeds up the fixing.

                            To report a plugin, please email pl*****@wo*******.org with the following:

                            a clear and concise description of the issue
                            a link to the specific plugin
                            whether or not you have validated the security issue yourself
                            optional โ€“ links to any public disclosures on 3rd party sites

                            Hmmm, there is confusion.

                              Fired this off just now:

                              Dear Team,
                              This enquiry is regarding site https://stearnvault.com, primarily an issue for the attention of @johnjamesjacoby regarding forum/site hits. Excerpts from private posts are displayed in the search hit results.
                              A straight-forward way to (temporarily at least) suppress all private excerpts is to insert code like

                              if ( $post->post_status == โ€˜privateโ€™ )
                              {Hide excerpt}

                              Also see https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/a/357957/228005

                              Obviously, the correct way requires detection of the status of current logged in user, which requires a function like “current_user_can”, all this is above my php coding skills. Can BuddyPress provide support for it?

                              Boom! ๐Ÿ˜›

                                Oh, sorry, think it is a fault with the router/modem, though he’s yet to get back on it.

                                Sounds good, and do love the name, tends to convey a certain vibe like this. ๐Ÿ˜›
                                What helps for concentration, methlyphenidates or nootropics, or something else? Fun fact, this thalamus provides an auto-in-built rejection of anything that messes with the mind in that way. ๐Ÿ˜›

                                      No worries, the only hitch is, bbPress and the like do not have an internal messaging system, so no messaging other users that way. Googling @johnjamesjacoby doesn’t help either, although it gets his BuddyPress profile, the idea from this old enquiry about Google search results brings Buddy out on the table.
                                      Apart from HackerOne there’s Slack, sounds fun, and it can even be integrated over here at StearnVault. It doesn’t sport an official WP support channel, mind you.
                                      The other option, given that JJJ from BuddyPress is the excerpt expert, is to send an email to pl*****@wo*******.org and mark the issue to the attention of John. Sound like a plan?

                                        There was an incredible hype and promotional activity at the time of the original Star Wars film release. This brought the movie into the “crowd pleaser” category, so fun for everyone really, however the urge to personally explore it further never did come to fruition. The vollies from some critics rang clear and loud:

                                        Star Wars is a junkyard of cinematic gimcracks not unlike the Jawas’ heap of purloined, discarded, barely functioning droids

                                        Scalzi doesn’t hold back much either:

                                        Star Wars is not entertainment. Star Wars is George Lucas masturbating to a picture of Joseph Campbell and conning billions of people into watching the money shot.

                                        Now with AI, deep fake, and Whatever, it’s possible to illustrate the vision of Scalzi in such a way that Star Wars becomes entertainment for an even wider demographic. ๐Ÿ˜›

                                            From memory, very much in mind, before, during, and after installing WP on the site, not sure if it’ll be at all possible using updated default Twenty-twenty themes though.
