OH MY GOD EVERYTHING IS DIFFERENT

Yeah, I think Vain just copied the whole folder of avatars which included the uploaded ones. Nice though. :D Perhaps not the best option, as users are now offered a mess of hundreds of avatars all of which were already used by other people - including some actual photos of members. Might be good fo...

I did not save my avatar, but the forum seems to be offering up everyone's old avatars on the page where you select one anyway.

OH MY GOD EVERYTHING IS DIFFERENT

Noticed when I edited my old bookmark, kevinswatch.com/phpBB3 works but kevinswatch.ihugny.com/phpBB3 does not. Not to be too critical, as I expect there's work being done toward reskinning the new forum eventually, but it's weird how phpBB3 tries so hard to be shiny and new and ends up looking so m...

I almost complained that my PMs only seemed to go up to 2020, but I think I actually haven't received a PM since then.

Very funny to me that phpBB3 is the shiny new board, since it's like, 15+ years old.

Are we planning to left-align the profiles, btw?

edit: As someone who habitually selects and unselects text while reading webpages, the "insert quote into quick reply" popup is very annoying.

I played a ton of games on the PlayStation and PS2, but since then whenever I buy a console, which is rarely, I play a small handful of games on it then kind of forget about it. There's too much available on PC for the cost of console gaming to be worth it.

The below is from a single post. I'm doing this not to say I disbelieve every claim here but to highlight just how many claims one would have to either accept or refute in order to effectively respond to such a post, which was presumably thrown out a lot faster than the time it would take to respond...

I watched the final season recently, and I'd say it's not as strong as the previous seasons. BCS overall I would say is better than Breaking Bad, but it was a little too beholden to the prior series in the way the final season had to play out.

Wouldn't it be cool if this was a thread about chatGPT instead of human greed and government regulations? Didn't we destroy an entire forum to crush discussions of things like that? No, jay destroyed an entire forum because of the way people were behaving in it. Anyway, there is nothing in life tha...

I'd like to add one more thing about the false, slanderous charge that I'm only interested in antagonism. I have a clearly articulated, well-documented world view that every problem in the world can be solved with more knowledge. I got this from reading David Deutsche's book THE BEGINNING OF INFINI...

Did you see the latest news on it peter - that the companies wanted to offer the rail workers 10% but the government intervened and made them offer lower pay and other unacceptable conditions. And while that was coming out, we had the BBC having to repeatedly edit an article about people whose trave...

The solution to that quandary, of course, is to raise wages anyway, even if migrant workers would be willing to work for less. You know, do the thing that will fix the problem rather than bow down to the companies who just want to maximise their individual profits. There's no real scenario where emp...

I'm finally reading A Memory of Light again. Kind of a recurring thing for me to stop reading halfway through a book around March/April and not pick anything up again until September or later.

I've not been watching the tv news for a few days now and have been relying on reading your posts, Peter, to catch up. However your first sentence in the last post leaves me very confused. I did hear on the radio news about Matt Hancock but Prince Charles? What on earth is going on there. On second...

Never got one when I moved here ten years ago. A lot of internet providers in the UK still require a landline, though, so it's left me trapped in an expensive Virgin Media contract for my internet because there is no capacity for new landline connections at the local exchange.

I played wordle until the original link stopped working. That felt like a decent place to call it a day.

I have given up on Netflix with the recent price changes. Their "cheap" option is reasonable but 480p resolution is an insult. My main streaming service atm is Disney+, but that's not as good a deal in the US as it is here - outside the US Disney+ includes all of the Hulu and Fox content t...

Ah, yeah, it wouldn't count for fastest sacking. This made me go take a look on wikipedia because I was struggling to remember the name. We had a number of interim chancellors for a month or less, and two who died after a month in office. It turns out I had misremembered; the guy I was thinking of d...

Truss announcing a raise in corporation tax at the same time she appoints a Chancellor who ran against her on a promise to reduce corporation tax. Hmm. Well, that went bad quickly huh? Kwarteng sacked, in the 2nd-shortest lived chancellorship ever. (And the guy with the shortest one died 30 days aft...
